The XM-21 and PAX Reminder!

- Eliminate recon except for commanders. Why would every soldier have a magic radar set?

This point is highly subjective. I like it how it is for example.

I would go even further: Make SL Marks visible for everyone, color code all the different squads, color code the squad leaders etc. This would encourage much more teamplay without using a microphone. I know many want people to use that but it will not work properly in a videogame with complete strangers.

Your second point is 100% valid though.

The planes themselves don't but the things guiding the planes around do.

Just for my understanding: The guide-nodes actually have collision?

I forgot what it's called but there's something else that flies around with the plane. That has collision and will collide with the other teams recon planes one. Then they both just stop mid air.

It is indeed subjective and I know I am in a very small minority and that it'll never go away. You asked for suggestions though...

How do you mark targets when you can't see the markers?

Also recon in RO2 is used more than for just arty. Like when you want to know where they all are.

 

[PsYcH0_Ch!cKeN]

The planes are just a matinee actor with a mesh attached to it. The mapper creates the flight path and it's up to them to set appropriate height, speed and turns.

As for collision, they do have it, but in RO2 you're correct in that when two planes hit each other, the game doesn't know what to do. It tries to interpolate the movement to the next location in the sequence and can't because they're stuck on each other. That won't happen in RS2, for two reasons. One, when planes crash into something now (including the ground), they explode and two, the Vietnamese don't have recon planes to crash into.

You see lots of enemies in one spot, you mark arty there. Kinda like it worked in real life.

I am sure you designed something special for them

Almost a month without new info. Any chance we get some this week.
Alsoi noticed some guys, who participated in RS beta, playing RS2 alpha. Any chance to join them for participants of RS closed beta(one with NDA)?

I would really like to participate in the RS2 alpha too. I want to point out bugs and such directly and don't want to go back to RO2/RS for that.

I expect new info at E3. I don't think we'll get more till then.

I might have missed this. Have TWI/AMG confirmed participation?

Honestly I don't know. I just thought that this is obvious but you made me topple a little. I just looked up and their is no confirmation, haha. Too bad!

 

[JanMz]

Yeah, this is quite weird. No notice, no word, they just abruptly disappeared...
Enjoyed a lot those weekly wip posts. I'm not a fan of such attitude, but what can you do.
Obviously they don't care too much about this type of fan interaction (at this point in the production process) or smth. Who knows...

 

[NorthDumpling]

I think they will be at E3, as TWI/AMG anounced RS2 exactly on E3 with PC Gamer.

 

[Lt_Kettch]

They announced Rising Storm 2 as part of the PC gaming show, which was a special event that may or may not happen again. Afaik they never had their own booth at E3 and I doubt they will in the future. This doesn't mean there won't be any news during E3, but since a massive announcement is not likely I doubt they will not tell us more about RS2 during the week when it will be buried under random gaming news anyway ...

I think you re right. This stuff will take place in June and TWI is in participants list http://www.pcgamingshow.com

 

[JanMz]

20+ participants crammed into 90min ? How exactly will this work ?

 

[NorthDumpling]

So all we have to do, is to wait for 14 hours, as I know along with ArmA 3 and RS2 there will be a bunch of other games, but still its a big chance for us to see just something valuable and maybe, just maybe we'll get a chance to participate in close Beta, as its already too late for Alpha testing.
