Remember guys, this is mainly a patch not a content update (even though there are 2 new weapons). As was previously stated, this is mainly to fix bugs and make optimizations.

But to the people who are freaking out orgasmicly about two new weapons, you DO realize that these new weapons are pretty much the same as two weapons that are already in the game, right? Beyond tiny changes, the MP-41 is just a MP-40 with a solid wood stock, and the M44 is just a M38 with a bayonet.
Now i'm excited about the new weapons because I like variety. I'm just wondering outloud wether or not some people who don't know enough about small arms think that they're getting two weapons with radically different functions and appearances from what they've been playing with all along.

As a devotee of the M38, that is precisely why I am excited.Ouroboros said:...the M44 is just a M38 with a bayonet.

CaptRanger said:Whenever I see a post by Gonzox I tend to skip right over it...
Could a dev chime in and say if there are any changes (or planned changes) for class selection?
King Ragnar said:Well in thge mod Mp41 was very different from the 40 it fired differently, noise differed and the recoil was diferent.
Yoshiro said:What I am saying is we will keep the weapon in late 1944/1945 maps lol.
GonzoX said:Do you know how many? Have a picture of one?
Show me a man that owns a WWII issued Hex Reciever M44 and I will show you a rich man. That is how extremely rare they are.
This is why I am bothered by it's inclusion. I thought that ROOST was about realism. How realistic would it be to see an entire squad of 1942 soldiers carrying 1945 dated super-rare hex reciever M44s?
I really hope I am wrong about the hex reciever part. Honestly I am. If it turns out to be hex then I would be afraid that the game was taking a different turn in development than what the mod was originally intended for. The M44 was produced roughly from 1945 to 1953 so in essence Tripwire is including a post-war / cold-war weapon into ROOST. That in itself is bad enough, but if they make it a hex reciever that would make it totally unralistic IMHO. And the weapon wold only show up (or should) in 1945 dated maps like Berlin. How many 1945 dated maps does ROOST have?
What's next? An SKS? I don't like where this is going but that's just my opinion. An AVT would have been a wiser choice.
What he is saying is that the M44 will only appear in Battles which had it IRL.GonzoX said:Are you saying that you will filter a 1945 / Cold War M44 into a 1942 map?
GonzoX said:Thank you. Best thing I have read all day.
Now please tell me that it will have the correct "round" reciever...
