I'd like to know if the number of grenades will be kept up to historical levels, which would mean more than in RO. Nadespam is what happened, sometimes through every doorway before the rifleman went through.
It's what makes the game dynamic.
What to ask Ramm on the BASHandSlash podcast?

I'm sure there are many possible fixes and everyone has his favorite solution, so... The real question is if TWI acknowledges the existence of this problem and if they are going to do something to about it
Listening to the interview now. Writing down any important information for topics that have had alot of speculation.
Weapon upgrades:
Scoped K98 starts out with a ZF41 scope and can eventually be upgraded to a ZF42 that has higher magnification.
Heroes:
Only 1 hero allowed per team.
Ranks:
Servers can be setup to only allow players with a certain rank.
Vehicles:
RO2 ships with the T34/76 and PzIV G. A content update after release will have 2 light tanks and 2 transports
Consoles:
No console version is in development. This is a PC only game.

I posted this on the announcement thread, minus the duplicate info already posted:
Here's some of the notes of what I got when I was able to listen:
Melee
Scaled back from original fencing level ideas during initial development/planning - sounds like refinements of ROOST system
No mention of new weapons like knives or helmet bashing or punching
Big beta
later this year or early next year. Might be open beta or pre-order beta
Ranking system perks
No crazy perks (like CoD)
Less suppression effects
Better recoil control
Within realistic parameters
Start out good and get better (not crap to super)
Unlocks Elite roles
SCOOP: Weapon upgrades - for example Kar98 marksman with original 1.5x scope to move up to 4x and 6x scope
Higher ranking players get first choice on advanced roles (like commanders)
Hero doesn't change healthpoints
Battlefield commission system - if player is doing well in round, get a temp rank boost to try advanced roles

The recorded version shall be posted in a few days. It will add some bonus as John stayed after the show went offline and answered more questions, so expect more info in the recorded cast!
As a follower of Crosshairs since its beginning and a minor role on cast sometimes I have to say this was the most amazing Crosshairs I've ever had the pleasure of listening and participating. Thank you all guys, from Tripwire to everyone here in the community who was in the IRC and listening to the show, for making a cast that will be truly remembered as one of the most awesome ever made.
As a quick FYI, tomorrow marks 1 year of the infamous Bash 123 podcast where IW through Robert Bowling announced to the world all the features PC gamers wouldn't have with MW2. How ironic one year later the hope that was killed for many PC gamers in that fateful day is now rekindled in a tremendous way.

Yeah sometimes I think to myself that RO2 is just one big practical joke that's been made up by Activision to piss PC gamers off, since it's all so perfect.
I think that really comes across in this podcast! The guys are totally blown away that all of their needs are being met and THEN some. They're almost like WTF is this ... where is the catch?

I'm more than overwhelmed My favourite shooter is cod2 and this game is rekindling my love for WWII and the whole tank thing sounds sooo amazing can't wait to see some :IS2: gameplay 
Interesting, I didn't know that.
Relating to the interview, I got rather worried when John talked about heroes having less recoil and better equipment. I don't want this game to turn into some "rank-fest" where everybody is focused on getting the hero privileges. Tripwire should be able to pull it off, though.

I just listened to the whole cast and it really does end kind of randomly abrupt ... how much more was there after the official cast ended?
The last thing I heard was [to John] "We cut it off because I was afraid you were getting trapped." What does that mean? lol? I guess that maybe the leader of the cast was afraid that people would just keep asking questions forever.

A lot more. ibleed is working on the recorded version so that when it is posted it will have an extended cast after the show ended live. He was on for about more 45 minutes and there was more info being discussed.
Yeah
He was worried that John might be in a hurry and didn't want to take his time too much.

Clearly he was wrong, since John stayed 45 more minutes ...A lot more. ibleed is working on the recorded version so that when it is posted it will have an extended cast after the show ended live. He was on for about more 45 minutes and there was more info being discussed.

Yeap, I'm sure he won't make the same mistake again, next time John will be for 4 hours. :IS2::IS2::IS2:
