    Ohmwrecker's impressions on Rising Storm

    Great vid! What is a bit worrisome is that you seem to be able to run 'n gun with a flamethrower. While this may be fun to do in the game, I cannot really see how this is realistic :confused:

    Battle of Kursk : Ponyri Station

    RO1 is your friend :) Wilsonam added photos to this thread to RO level design for a Ponyri map: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=18125 Also, in the absence of aerial photos, maps may help? e.g.: http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/maps/maps1943SW.htm#Kursk43

    Fall of Berlin

    Interesting idea....:) FWIW in RO there is a set of maps (stock+custom) that - chronologically arranged - offers a mini campaign "Battle of Berlin": A few of them (there are probably more) in no order: Konigsplatz Pariserplatz Kriegstadt Zoobunker

    Thoughts on the HUD Art Style

    Another vote for at least something like Miro's style and basically repeating what has been said here before (the current style bothered me 6 months ago already; apologies for quoting myself): IMO the HUD now looks really bad: should there be huge, garish, neon-coloured icons and text all over...

    Any Dead Heads play KF? I mean New or old Dead Heads.

    Great show! :cool: with a "Hard to Handle" that Lesh later included in "Fallout from the Phil Zone" and wrote about in "Searching for the Sound". From the PigPen days, definitely also "Easy Wind". For me: some from American Beauty, concerts from '71, '73, '74, mid '77. Goin' Down the Road...

    [Movie] Restrepo

    It is now available and places like amazon.com will also be distributing it soon: Some comments, having watches the first half: The opening minutes where the Humvee is hit while the camera is filming inside, is outstanding. It was interesting to see the range at which engagements take place...

    More Video From The Front Lines

    +1 Another thing that bothers me slightly is the font type and size of the announcements on the screen. IMO the font type is too modern for the era, i.e. anachronistic. Also, will we be able to make this smaller with a setting? Often, even currently in RO, the messages interfere with...
