Good Morning Vietnam Fans!

(Sorry I had to get that out of my system)

Today we want to give you a look at one of the core game mechanics we have been talking about as well as introduce you to another one. As always keep in mind these are works in progress and subject to change as we iterate with the systems and find out more about what works and what doesn

Bayonet attaching is back? Nice! :IS2:

 

[NorthDumpling]

10/10 Would swtich to the bayonet 10000 times.

Another core design goal of the game we

And that it is how good game should be done :IS2:

Totally looking forward to this! Can't wait to smell the napalm!

 

[Jackett]

That jungle sure looks strange.

P.S. Don't blink or you'll miss the bit where you can see the player switch from full to semi-auto before attaching the bayonet.

These webm things never work for me for some reason D:

nvm works with chrome. Yeah that is pretty much as awesome as I expected. I actually didn't realize I didn't like that about RO2/RS but I'm super glad they're improving upon it for RS2.

"One game with some server and client settings" This is pretty huge and what I wanted RO2 to be.

Removable bayonets are back and fire selection has an animation, awesome!

 

[PoisonStrudel]

Well done tripwire, this 30 second clip has quenched my thirst... for now

 

[Dcode]

Looks great, nice to see how you plan to implement automatic weapons.

Does RS2 use the same updated Unreal Engine KF2 runs on? Mostly interested to know if this will be 64bit native.

Thanks for the video cookie, guys. I find it communicates well the intensity and power of the weapon.

One question - what is the left hand animation after the magazine reload ?

That's the bolt release. When the gun is emptied the bolt locks back; you press the bolt release to allow it to slide forward again.

This news seems promising, keeping things simple and sweet should hopefully give the devs a chance to focus on a few areas instead of spreading themselves out by working on different game types and modes

I'm so glad to see the return of detachable and attachable bayonets, and the wavy aiming making a comeback is absolutely fantastic as well, this should totally motivate crouch running rambos to think twice before trying to take on multiples enemies at once.

"Right now there is a major focus on UI and Menu work heavily underway."

In RO2/RS, I always set my Tactical Interface key to ALT so I can constantly see my character's status.

There's one thing that I look at constantly when I'm playing a round, and that is the stamina meter, how much ammo I have and the mini map.

Please consider making the HUD/UI more akin to Ostfront where the stamina meter and soldier figure are both combined and always present on the screen. If users don't like it, they should have the option to scale down or up the HUD/UI so it wouldn't obstruct the player's view.

Here's the HUD/UI that I would like to see Vietnam be like, just replace the compass with the mini-map in RO2/RS.

Spoiler!

Reason why the HUD is so small is because they have the scaling option where the user can adjust the hud to make it fit properly on their screen.

Thanks for the update!

I mean Vietnam wasn't completely jungle. Glad I saw this setting. Instantly thought of Hue or Saigon during the Tet Offensive

 

[Jagdwyre]

Looks fantastic, can't wait to see AK in action. Looks like Tripwire games will continue to have some of the best gunplay in the genre.

it's a concrete jungle...
