New Weapons

[tavingon]

Hi all, will any new weapons be added, I read that mg42 may be added for germans in RO2.

Can we expect the type 5 or reising 50??

No one ever said anything about adding the MG-42. In fact, I am pretty sure TWI said that they wouldn't ever add it. All you saw were countless threads of people saying that they needed the MG-42, when really, the MG-34 does the job more than well enough.

And I have no idea about Rising Storm.

I don't think that entirely true.


This game needs new weapons and more maps. If anything it needs to expand away from Stalingrad. We're already seeing that in many of the custom maps but it needs more.

I dont want to fan the flames here but am curious. I love this games even though I found them by chance and am starting to get my friends interested. I would be pleased to hear that juicy extra content is on its way.

there are people making new vehicles and weapons for RO2, but it's not TWI doing it.

I dont want to sound like a n00b but will they be 'rubber stamped' by Tripwire, so to speak, and then added to game for all but will it just be special servers?

that depends on how much TWI likes them. would it matter anyway? if I like them, i'm gonna play on servers that use them and avoid those that don't. the campaign mode isn't supported by TWI but that's not stopping servers from running it and lots of people play it.

The moders have mentioned they've gotten a lot of help from TWI, so I don't see why they wouldn't white-list them, if they're already supporting them.

TWI has a pretty good history of supporting the mod community, what with community made maps and mutators. After all, they started as a mod team themselves.

There won't be a Type 5 and there won't be an MG42 if RO2 stays in Stalingrad.

But there is nothing saying that RO2 is staying in stalingrad. Many, many custom maps are and will be made outside this setting, and the last official map was set in Ukraine, IIRC.

I hope it gets out of Stalingrad

Well, you are boring. And we are already our of stalingrad as we have Rakowice as official map.

There is no reason to not include the MG42 even when Ro2 would stay in Stalingrad. The MG42 was in stalingrad, in small numbers but it was there.

i wouldn't mind using that japanese anti tank rifle, that 20mm one. once tanks are introduced.

Can we expect the type 5

Are you kidding? Do you really want to see prototype weapon like Type 5 in RS? RS don't need the Japanese copy of Garand which was used at the end of the war.

I personally expect for Type 44 Carbine or M3 Grease Gun or other non-prototype weapon.

 

[GARY OAK]

the grease gun would be a laugh, i think there is a basic mesh for it in the SDK. or at least the kill icon for it.

it would also be an excuse to enable an american assault class armed with the grease gun. or giving it to engineers.

It would have to be for elite only or at high level status to unlock.

Id love to see the grease gun now you mention it!

Type 5? Hell NO.

Maybe if it will be unlocked after 10,000 hours in the game.

"None of the rifles entered into service before the end of World War II, with only 250 being made and many others were never assembled. There were several problems with jamming and feed systems, which also delayed its testing."
