Still hoping for a new standard realism mode above the current hardcore level with among others some of the following:
  • Less accurate weapons, particularly automatic fire and short barreled weapons at long range
  • Minimize or remove robo-zooming. Replace with a more realistic reduction in FOV
  • Minimize or remove the impact of rank/honor on character abilities.
  • Get rid of Hero bonuses.
  • More realistic recoil
  • some more things I am probably forgetting.
  • Limit team communication to players within shouting range, and make it clear which teammate is talking to you. Allow you to hear what enemies within earshot are saying. There were no helmet radio headsets in WWII.

also,
Larger maps would be nice, so that adjusted sights and sniper rifles are actually useful, not just a nuisance.

De-emphasize kill/death ratios by removing kills from score table all together, and focus entirely on team points. Also remove the K/D ratio from personal stats. Win/loss ratio is however - important.

Also, DX11 version of Unreal 3 Engine!!!

As to new content, one of my favorite things I had a chance to do in RO 2 late last week was to test a new prototype map with everybody in the office. I really think the old RO crowd will get a kick out of this one. The rest of the LD team are also cranking away and hope to have their new work in testing soon.(...)

I have two thoughts on this one. I guess it's Stalingrad Kessel from RO:O or brand new BIG map with many open spaces and areas.

Thanks for update, Yoshiro.

Thanks Yoshiro.

With the latest patch and news of what's coming, I finally feel like we're starting to see for ROHoS the Tripwire we've come to expect.

ps I like the latest patch a lot...except for the crash occurring when switching teams.

Regarding realism mode:
For now I suggest server admins to set character and weapon level 0. It really makes game more pleasurable AND less arcadish. My clan changed these settings to practice for SE tournament and we found out that gameplay is better. All players have access to same basic weapons (MkB42 and AVT are disabled) and any bonuses to speed, reloading, recoil controll etc are not applied.

It is simply and small gameplay fix, that should work temporary till TWI (hopefully) release proper RO mode.

How to?
Open your server ROgame.ini
Change
MaxClassRank=0
MaxWeaponProficiencyLevel=0

Done!

I hope to see some public server IPs that changed it on their server so we could play :)

How can i find your server? Maybe the FK server will use this settings. Good idea for the first time. :D

Sounds really great for me, but maybe a extra class for one Mkb/AVT slot would be fine, available only for the best player of the last round, if he want.

Only problem with this is your server is then in no mans land (unranked) I believe

Anyway I hope Yoshi can keep up with doing these types of threads once a week or so, addressing player's concerns and keeping people up to date. Although bug/perfomance fixes are cool I think people are mostly keen to hear about gameplay changes though.

Personally I just don't feel drawn to RO2, I feel its TWI's job to entice me and for now we're given scraps in terms of gameplay fixes

Server isn't public. It's prepared for SE cup and passworded.

The only issue I see with this, is that MG's have rediculous recoil @ level 0.

When deployed? That's completely true. It was mentioned many times and reported by community. TWI answered that MGs recoil must be balanced, not realistic because then deployed MGs would be overpowered... So players started to shot from hip with MG :rolleyes:

A friend of mine who played RO1 a lot is REALLY hoping for a port of Kriegstadt. If it's released he's planning on taking a weeks vacation to play :p
