dayum!


not to be a spoiled brat or nuthin, but perhaps a video (of tanks on arad or sumthin?) if you want, I'll ask nicely...please?

 

[Troels]

Could this be out before saturday evening? <_<

 

[markkina]

Not to be a spoiled brat or nuthin, but apparently less than a week = "easy wait" imho.

 

[Manchu Warrior]

Thanks for the info! It truly is appreciated.

 

[Victor_Mdv]

The new Arad map looks great

 

[D3terioNation]

Cant wait for the bayo deploy anims for the m44, assuming you start off with folded bayo off-course

 

[OrLoK]

It looks like pretty cool!

Specially Arad... it wont look like a medieval abandoned town!

 

[Diamond]

Is that grass I see on Arad?

And I hope it will be released this weekend so I don't have to interupt playing because of school.

 

[Kenza]

Looks really nice, all of it

• [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Optimizations to decrease memory usage and decrease load times[/FONT]

Does this mean we should turn our "UsePrecache" and "bNeverPrecache" back on and off, respectively?

 

[Dcode]

11th post FTW!

 

[shadowmoses]

Nice looking models!
Yes i too hope that there will be an animation for the folding of the M44's Bayonet. Done a great job with arad...it always needed some touching up.
Maybe there wont be asmany arad haters now .
The release date isnt a worry to me...As long as it gets to us im pleased.
Keep up the awsome work guys!

 

[Sclass12]

Nice.

 

[Dizzy]

Nice work maties !!
Screens look smooth...

Does this mean we should turn our "UsePrecache" and "bNeverPrecache" back on and off, respectively?

No. These are not super optimizations that will now cause loading to be 30x faster. But you should see an improvement.

I hope you can go into that new building in the S village close to the bridge. That would be so awesome. We're going to have to relish our old Arad pics "Oh you think this is hard? In the early days we didn't have no fancy schmancy stone wall here to protect the infantry!"

 

[Shadehunter]

Good to hear, and those houses on Arad look very nice..

Now, just port over Jucha... I love that map... the perfect map to have a summer picnic at.

Also thanks to Tripwire haha.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but are the weird bugs around the forest in arad fixed? Warping around is getting really annoying.
