RO2 Suggestion : Add a GUI switch into the game

[r5cya]

posting this request for a friend. i am behind this change 100% but am not the author. we just want to see if this is a possibility?


This has been mentioned by a lot of players since the release of RS. A lot of RO2-only players would greatly appreciate having an option to revert the game's GUI (Splash screen, menu music, main menu etc) back to the pre-RS update RO2 GUI. Which means no mention of RS except when joining an RS server. This is because that quite a few of RO2 only players simply do not like RS being pasted all over the game, and just want their Eastern Front focused GUI back.
There has been threads/posts requesting the feature on the Steam Discussions as well. (Links below) An example of this would be Company Of Heroes 2 with the Western Front Expansion. The game changes the menu background and music accordingly to what you chose in the main menu. (Ostfront background and music for Soviet/Ostheer, Westfront background and music for USF/Oberkommando West) This will make the RO2 only playerbase happier and since it's an option, it won't be a bother to RS players.
If Tripwire doesn't want to split the playerbase then this is the perfect addition. Enter your vote and/or post your opinion below! Some examples of the threads on the Steam discussions. There's a lot more on the discussions, just search with the tags of "old menu" "Menu switch" and the like.

since I was not the author, I get the chance to be the first supporter!
I second the idea. is2 say, YES!

 

[Kowalczyk]

Very bad idea. It's not like I sit and listen to the music and watch the screen change in the menu. It's only ever been like 3 or 4 people asking this and not very persistently. Waste of time at this point.

I wanted the old RO2 menu better as I don't have Rising Storm while I prefer Eastern Front theme than the Pacific.

I have added a poll to the thread in order to better see how many people support adding this feature to the game.

I've posted this a while ago, but it's really awkward how instead of showing a map of the Eastern front, they show the Pacific map in German and Russian languages instead. These people might be happier if they showed Stalingrad instead.

(found these somewhere a long time ago, looks way better than how it is now)

Where would I get that GUI where it shows the map of Stalingrad instead of the Pacific?

 

[titsmcgee852]

I personally prefer the RS menu much more than the RO2 menu, but it would be nice for people to have an option to change it. Also, I'd like to see the entire soundtrack played in the menu

No. Not the old one. How about a completely new GUI/HUD fitting to RS and RO2 but displaying the RS or RO2 names when joining said server running RS or RO2.

I think this should be another option!

@Cpt.Foley:
Those screens are way to dark. You can't read anything in the list imo.

Since I only play the RO2 campaign I support this. It's not that I don't like the RS menu but I just prefer the RO2 version, especially when "Storm Clouds Over Stalingrad" is playing in the background. A switchable option in the menu would be the best solution in my opinion.

 

[TovarishTony]

Pls support this idea so we can see Stalin and Hitler in the menu again instead of the Pacific map that wasn't relevant on the Eastern Front.

who cares? it's a background image. doesn't affect anything expect delicate sensibilities, which do not matter. this is 2014.

 

[Jank]

Aesthetics do matter. Form AND function, they are partners, not opponents. And the real question is why not have the option?

 

[r5cya]

kinda surprised about so few votes.

 

[TovarishTony]

Now its starting to get annoying why whenever I start RO2 it plays the RS menu music more often than the RO2 theme. We need more votes for that menu.

 

[Jolly Jew]

i don't like the stalingrad GUI at all but if people want to have it why not? i support
