10 euros, a happy ending from ShutzeSepps mother, and a free bottle of Sprite.

Final offer!

To answer the original question with a real answer:

I'm onboard if the game is something that appeals to me.. if TWI made a Unreal-Engine 3 Powered version of Tic-Tac-Toe.. I wouldn't buy it just because I like the guys at TWI.. (sorry!).. but if it's something that is a unique or interesting game, i'm game.
If it's a uber-realistic Infantry/tank/War simulator.. hrm.. i'll give it a try..
If it's a super-gamey 20000 B.C. FPS but has some new/novel ideas going on but everything is 2d Sprites, i'll still give it a try. (I mean.. I bought Introversions stuff.. gfx's aren't everything!)

I would also like to add something.

After amassing tonnes of data & knowledge on the Soviet role in WW2, why on earth would they scrap all that and start something completely fresh??

Think about it. They've spent 5+ years looking at historical data, mapping & modeling, to ensure they give us (as much as they can) a completely realistic WW2 experience, just to throw it all away?

I find it totally illogical to do that.

absolutely true, to spend alot of time and an incredible amount of hard work on making the RO mod for UT and then making the RO ost game, you need to be a complete ww2 freak. im telling ya, nobody can choose to do work like that if they aint passioned about ww2.

The Call of Duty series had alot of research behind it too but they still shifted to Modern Warfare, I'm not saying it's easy to do but Tripwire could do it if they wanted to.

But the team of CoD had quite a lot of money and more employees to do this, so TWI might have a problem with this.
I don't want to say it's impossible, but it's more likely that it's in the same setting as RO:O/RO:CA

well they didn't scrap it- they made this game. I'm sure they've had the capacity to research something else since then, if they wanted to.

Not saying they wont continue with WW2 of course- and obviously it's a setting close to their hearts, but it doesn't follow that it's gonna be the only one they are prepared to represent in a game.

The research process was probably rewarding in itself, and there may have been other scenarios that appealed to them, that they decided to research to a similar degree to produce this next game.

The COD4 move to modern combat leaves WW2 a bit more open again it's true, but the vietnam war for example is screaming for a new game IMO.

I'd be more than happy with a vietnam game hopefully with a campaign and/or co-op online, as well as a full RO style multi.
I suspect if it was made with similar realstic approach as this game, ppl would be interested in modding it back to WW2 anyway.
Conversely, if it is to be WW2- i hope this time round a team is formed up with the intention of make a Vietnam mod.

Look, they havent even scratched the surface with the levels of realism they WANT to give us, but simply cant because of engine limitations!!

With the new technology they can give us the Ostfront experience they always wanted but simply couldnt!!

Damn Im beginning to feel really passionate about this now lol :p
