What an 'insult'. $25K worth of insulting behaviour, which is completely ignored, apparently, because some people have their panties in a bunch about tanks and seem to think that, although the last 2 years of petulant, accusing and often aggressive threads did not somehow make tanks magically appear, perhaps hijacking this thread, about a very positive development for people who like playing RS, might.
We're not referring to RS, which is a different and separated game (even not contents compatible, apart the common .exe, useful to let someone play RS expansion pack with at least 10 human players per server with 50 bots), we're talking about Red Orchestra 2. 25k $ to let someone else (talented/untalented/unexperienced modders) work instead of the TW developers ? It's cool, but obviously yo can't expect them to be capable of doing complex coding procedures, like for example the ones related to tanks.
Did it ever occur to anyone that the reason the modders are taking so long to do tanks is because they are incredibly hard to do? Like, opening a MacDonald's on Mars level of difficulty? Did it occur to any of the people hijacking this and many other threads that putting vehicles in a game, when they account for 50% of the development effort and about 10% of the gameplay, to the detriment of other forms of development is not wise or desirable?
Point taken, but it's not YOU that needs to make tanks ! It's not a modder. If a modder it's paid to make something that it's not capable to, with a contest, we're not blaming him, we're just asking why the developers haven't tried to integrate the old methodology, which it was working flawlessly in RO1/Darkest hour mod.
In all honesty, it's the first time that I hear that RS won't even get tanks.
Since now, I spent 45 bucks to have a Panzer IV and T-34, I'm one of thoose that played RO1 mainly for tank warfare, or combined arms. Have fun guys, but this is not the way to let the comunity enjoy this game. It's just half game, and this is why I said that this is shameful, because TW have got talented people, nice capabilities and a nice attitude to modders and comunity requests, but I fear that this engine could be a bit too complex to manage. Am I right or what ?
If it's so complicated, try to make easier things, to screw some features and add more generic content. I respect the works od the developers but please listen the playerbase.
ps: "suck a lemon"... I expect more respect from developers, to a forum user. Be polite and calm down
