    With the 1.04 Update testing underway on the Community Test Branch, the team's focus has turned towards the Australians with the Bushranger Content Pack .

    Our eagle-eyed fans who tuned in or read the Roundup may have also noticed another section - R&D. This section contains items we are interested in pursuing, but we are not yet fully committed to adding to the game.

    One of these R&D projects involves WW2. We are looking into porting some content from Red Orchestra 2 to Rising Storm 2 and perhaps this content could turn into a small WW2 addition for Vietnam. We want RO2 fans to help us decide what content to port over and we, in general, what your thoughts on this project.

    Go and vote for your favorite Red Orchestra 2 maps you want to see ported as apart of this project!

    CLICK HERE TO VOTE!

    This poll features all official Tripwire and official custom infantry and combined arms maps from Red Orchestra 2. Information collected will be used to help us select the best maps suited for the first prototype of this WW2 project. If everything goes as planned, expect testing to start near the end of the year or beginning of 2018. Stay tuned!

    Make sure to get your vote in by Oct. 2nd as that is when this poll will close. As always, we look forward to hearing from you!

    ADDENDUM:
    Just to be clear, this R&D Project in no way takes away from current and future Rising Storm 2 content development. The core RS2 team is hard at work on the Bushranger Content Pack.

    I think some of the old maps like Hanto and the phosphate plant would be a good addition to rising storm 2, as well as some redux of some classic RO maps like Danzig or even barracks in HOS but with a Vietnam city look to it would be great. I would guess that some careful replacment of resources and textures could give these maps a southeast asia feel instead of russia. Also, for larger combined arms maps, or for ones in the future, the Vietnamese were equipped with a T-34 with an AA turret slapped on it. This could be an opportunity to use some of the sunk resources that were spent on the release of tanks in RO:HOS to make an AA tank to directly challenge the Cobra on these larger maps

    also the gorilla in the room is the treasure trove of weapons like the MP-40, M-1 carbine, MG-34, Type 99 LMG and Type 96, Type 38/99 rifle, M1919 LMG that could easily be slotted into the hands of the NLF and NVA without too much effort. I mean heck, the STG44 wouldn't even be too OP in this time period!
