[Nimsky]

Audio interview (.mp3) with Alan Wilson.

I love them Google Alerts.

EDIT: around 3:24 he mentions they researched Pavlov's House. Pavlov map confirmed...? Would be nice. :IS2:

I found that Company Of Heros had an amazing audio experience, especially the reverb effects, really really surprised me that an RTS could have such an authentic sound design.

I hope that RO2 can emulate some of that.

they removed the reverb effects from CoH for some stupid reason in the last patch

 

[Otto Fuhrmann]

The Blitzkierg mod for CoH keeps it I believe.

Good interview with Alan, and thanks Nimsky.

The MP Campaign sounds epic, and I liked what he said about the SP game's morale system, where friendly or enemy troops stop following orders after their casualties get too high, which could even cause them to retreat from an objective.

The historical battle idea sounds great.

Hope they put this in, and hope they allow it as an option for multiplayer aswell (Even if its unbalanced it will still be awesome to play.)

 

[Apos]

Thanks for link. Campaign sound excellent.

I don't like that idea with indicators which tells player what is somewhere. How about to leave to player what he can hear? I personally don't need any extra information on the screen, but good ingame audio system and headsets to figure out by self where is teammate or enemy.

Okay, but what does that have to do with the interview?

 

[Dsquad]

Good interview, makes me want the game even more.

 

[Sodemo]

Nothing, I was just making comment on general sound design.

EDIT; my apologies, I made comment without listening to the interview. I misunderstood the meaning of "audio interview" as I was thinking it was an "interview on audio".

 

[heady89]

good interview

 

[Mormegil]

Alan/Wilsonam mentioned taking photos and lots of data on Pavlov's House.

I'm guessing that'll be another map.

 

[Fedorov]

he sounds as if he was about to say something like: Dosh!, grab it while you can lands.

:IS2:

This is something we've toyed around with as an idea. Will really depend on time available

maybe a $5 or $10 DLC after release? its SP only so it wont fragment the community or anything like that

you gotta be kidding me

I think it would be nice to have, it would be like an interactive way of teaching what really happened during those battles. You could narrate the cutscenes

I know there are many in the community that absolutely love this. Many of us wish that one day RO/HOS could be on a level that comes close to WWII online. I hear from many new people that are coming over to RO from WWII online that their dream would be WWII online but with RO/HOS. This idea would in a way bring it that much closer. Thank you..

But it's realistic! The FOV of your monitor is DRASTICALLY smaller than what you would have in real life. Until the days when we have giant monitors that loop around us 180 degrees stopgaps like this are necessary.

+1. Unbalanced historical maps would be a great addition, and let players feel what as close to the real thing as possible. I can only imagine how fun it would be to be one of those 20 russians in there...crazy.

Of course I'm not saying we should do away with the normal, balanced maps. This is still a game of course.
