I can imagine a game with graphics and avatar movements of RO2 but the gameplay and map design of RO:CA 3.3.
^ how many complains do you think you'll have from your community if you deliver such thing?

I think the next patch should be focused on community complaints.

I think the Enemy of the Gates movie scarred and added stupid truth to the Eastern Front. It's Hollywood's version of WW2.
No. RO1 was made by a group of modders with a fairly shared vision. If the "Community" that is found on the forums was in charge of development, we wouldn't even have a playable game yet, but two dozen piles of unplayable junk, and one or two half way decent mods from splinter groups who gave the rest of the community the finger and went off to do their own thing so they could actually get something accomplished.
Despite what a lot of people seem to think, game design and game development is hard.
Very hard in fact. That is why it costs millions of dollars, and takes large teams years to produce AAA titles. And even then a lot of them fall flat on their faces.
When you give way to "Community Design", you get tons of idiots who like X, therefore they push for X, because X is 'cool', and therefore "X must be a great design", all the while they give zero thought as to how X actually impacts the rest of the game.
Lol it was a joke.
I hate movies where the Germans speak English in british accent and Russians speak in...british accent. I'd rather read the subtitles. haha they should mod the movie
Optimization plz
I've just got a brand new Phenom II quad core which relieves my previous Amd x2 6000+ (3,1 ghz , a good cpu) ... I thought performances would benefits of it but I'm getting worse fps instead (GPU: Geforce 460gtx 1 gb) and I had to set to medium almost all graphical settings. Actually I'm a great Twi fan, loved RO and appreciate RO2 also but I begin loosing my patience, it's really one of the worse optimized game I've never played...

NO PLZ
Only performance should be a priority.
Lockdown is great.
The other things are minor bugs.
What should be a priority is fixing the squad list and other teamwork related problems like clarifying the SL spawn.
how is adding a decent realism mode difficult? just alter a few variable and your done. im assuming the engine is designed to be modular so it shouldnt be too difficult.
as it stands realism mode is just relaxed mode without a hud and pistols.
you do realize just about all mods are community designed right? They turned out pretty good if you ask me...

Good relative to what?
I am pretty sure that performance (graphical and net related) and whatever exploits remain need to be patched in before we consider anything else.
On average Luckless has the gist of it. You'll have a crap ton of crap projects (and some due to poor 'luck') and you may have one or two decent ones. But it's still a nice feeling I guess.

New patch = Still CTD after 5sec on any map.
Disappointment of the year = RO2.
Will I pre order RO3 "Snake oil" = Hell no!

Hey, don't worry man, I fixed that for you and made sure to include games TWI has worked on or had some substantial say in as "Dwarfs" might be pushing it slightly in terms of "hands on" work.
I am (almost) amazed that ANY thread in these forums can turn into a "TWI sucks" thread within 5-6 posts. I guess the maturity of a community is overrated...
A: Did you actually read what I posted? Because it really looks like you didn't.
B: Care to point out a mod team made of more than 10-20 core members with actual design control that got anywhere? I can't even name one with more than 5 in actual control of where the game is headed. Sure they usually take input from other members, but they'll still tell the idiots to shut up when required.
ONLY thing TWI should be focusing on is performance... hell, my computer runs BF3 smoother than RO2.
A. No i just kind of skimmed
B. Nope. But i was under the assumption that even a 5 man team was still considered a part of the community.
Ping is a red herring. Even if you magically reduce server-side delay to nothing, you'll still be left with a networking model that turns kill shots into grazes or misses even with just a 50 ms delay. It's 2011, a game should just plain be playable with 200ms latency. There are several approaches to make that happen that have been mature for well over a decade. Even the patient zero of the tactical shooter genre, Rainbow Six of 1998, was perfectly playable on a dialup connection's 300 ms latency, and that was a significantly faster paced game than RO. You didn't have to lead your targets, you didn't have to wonder if shots would hit, what you saw was what you got.
They just need to get around to refining Unreal's built in networking model. The basic system works passably if you're fighting with weapons that have a 5 meter blast radius, and not so passably when you're using pinpoint weapons with high enough player speed that even a tiny amount error can radically change the outcome of an encounter. The only time RO2 shooting is ever right is on a LAN connection.
What...
All mod teams have leaders. People who only try to push their own ideas forward while barely contributing never last long.
And if RO2s design was more tightly controlled I fail to see the benefit. The way weapon unlocks work so they are not removable, the squad system, protected area insta death after being in a recently contested capzone. None of that feels professionally designed at all.
