I was so hyped about this. Waited for it for years. Literally. Ever since the first video came out which was so.. so long ago. Now it just feels like it'll never come out. They said Q1 but that didn't happen. Looks like Q2 won't happen either. Oh well, at least they are working hard on making the game the best it can be.
I got an erection looking at those screenshots.

I wish they'd at least confirm that it's released in August. Better to crush my dreams early, right? :saddowns:

haha oh wow powered turrets switch to hand-cranked if the engine goes off
maybe some people will stop whining about the sound of the hydraulics now
How popular is darkest hour?
It has a good amount of full servers at peak times.
This update looks great. I hope Mortar Teams become useful.
[b]New Information About Beta:[/b]
Here is some info from the devs and in between all the stuff of mothers day and Dwarfs!? it confirms that the beta stage atm is on friends and family stage and basically confirming that in the coming weeks there will be more announcements regarding the large closed beta and says that in the coming weeks they will announce a release date, lets hope its the beginning of July.
[quote]For all those of you who are feeling dense - tomorrow is Mother's Day. Do not forget. You will not be forgiven!
Now, if you need a Mother's Day present for someone - how about Dwarfs!? Think about it - casual game, simple to play - and you don't even need to leave the house! Not forgetting that it has been in the Top 10 on Steam for a couple of days, along with being in two of the most-viewed videos on YouTube this week - AND it is still on its launch sale. $9... go on - you know you want to!
And for the RO2 fans - yes, we are rolling out the "Friends and Family" beta. Getting closer to closed and the large closed betas. The F&F beta is a milestone, of course. Initially designed just to roll the game out to a whole bunch of PCs in non-development environments (i.e. in peoples' homes) and see what immediate wierdo problems surface. But beyond that, it means we get a first reaction from a bunch of people who haven't played the game yet.
It will really take a couple of weeks to iron the initial kinks out of the beta system, so that we can actually get people down to some serious playing. Get the distribution rolling smoothly, updates and all the rest of it.
So - I am going out to buy some flowers (see - I didn't forget Mother's Day!) and save my life for another year. I suggest the rest of you do the same... and watch this space over the next few weeks for announcements on the next stages of the beta, release date and more
Oh - and in the meantime - go buy Dwarfs!?[/quote]
IS2 has spoken, while waiting for RO2 buy Dwarfs!?

There's a smaller closed beta before the more public (20,000) closed beta. So, I'm guessing we have to wait for at least a month.
K, i just reinstalled RO after like two years but i'm only seeing 4:3 resolutions. How can i change it to 16:10 aspect ratio?
For those that don't know:
Pz3 Ausf J, and a Halftrack.
T-70 and a Universal Carrier.

AKA bad, shallow ripoff of Dwarf Fortress that isn't free.

Yeah there is a way, you have to go into the console while in game and type in something like this "res 1440x900" (without quotes) its something like that as thats my resolution in game. If the command I typed doesn't work then just google the right way to do it, but you can change it.
[b]Important[/b]
Also for anyone who read the news I just posted, my mistake it's not a open beta its a closed beta.

Figured it out. You just do it by editing the .ini file.

Because staring at a bunch of random ASCII characters and pretending them to be random stuff is way more fun/better.

It's nothing like DF in the sense that it stripped 99% of the depth and content and multi-layer map generation, kept the most basic functions of DF, then removed any sort of precise movement or planning or building, and slapped on a price tag.

No. That's not it at all. The game is, yes, in ASCII, but what you don't realize is Dwarfs?! is literally DF stripped away to its most basic gameplay. It's not even that Dwarfs?! is a dumbed down DF, it's literally that DF has everything that Dwafs?! has in the first 5 minutes of gameplay of DF and then some. It's actually embarassing how much of a blatant ripoff Dwafs?! is, and how simple the gameplay is. Nevermind the fact that DF supports full tile graphics, just that vanilla is in ASCII.

To be honest it reminds me more of Lemmings. Just because they both involve digging and dwarves doesn't mean it's a ripoff. Obviously Red Orchestra 2 is a ripoff of Call of Duty 1 or 2? I mean they both involve shooting and WWII.

No. Dwarfs?! to Dwarf Fortress is not comparable with the analogy RO2 to Call of Duty 1.
Dwarfs?! is like Dwarf Fortress in that both games feature dwarfs digging for resources.

So you're saying it's a ripoff because it has mining and dwarves?
Get out, stop saying every game is a ripoff of another, does it even fucking matter, this tends to a whole different audience even.

This looks nothing like DF.
NOTHING.
It's like saying another shooter is a ripoff off another shooter because one basic feature is in it, digging?
For some people the depth in DF is too much, me included and i can't stand the ASCII graphics and even the tiles are bad for me, three dimensions when you can only see two? Does not work for me.
The fact that it's so simple is the fucking point, stop making DF players look arrogant, you're supposed to be classy.
How about you play it before you open your mouth.
But please, what has it actually ripped off that isn't so basic it doesn't even count?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Nuff said.
Lets talk about the mortars in Darkest Hour! Anyone managed to load up and try them out on a full server? My computer never loads fast enough, even with the faster loading speed tweaks from the 29th wiki.
On the receiving end it always seems to be a near miss, trying to run away from them only to get shot. Also loving the mobile spawn point and the FOV zoom on the weapons.
Sure, only some features from DF are taken, but all of those features are what make up Dwarfs?! If you must see rough numbers, 99% of it is taken from DF, but that's only a fraction of what DF actually is. I don't even know how to put it into words. Dwarfs?! is taking only basic things from DF but that's what Dwarfs?! is comprised of completely, the most basic functions of DF.
And sure, you take a screenshot of Dwarfs?! and then a screenshot of DF and they [I]look[/I] nothing alike. One is (vanilla) ASCII, and the other consists of (badly) sprited icons. It also tends to look nothing like DF because you can't really control where your dwarfs dig, or arrange them so they make something pretty, or even construct anything remotely cool like in DF. There's no other way to say it. Doesn't sound like anyone here has even played DF for more than an hour.
If anything Dwarfs?! is more like fucking SimAnt, that's how simple it is. Hell Simant is more complex than Dwarfs?! Sure, it tends to a different audience, but only because it's so stupidly simple. Even the people that admit that it's simplified DF say "well i dont want to learn how the fuck to play DF." The two pros it has that I can possibly squeeze out of it are that it has a less confusing hud and less confusing controls, and neither of those are really pros anyway. The reason they're both less confusing is because you can do shit all relative to the things you can do in DF. Remove depth from any game and it's easier to learn, doesn't mean it's more fun.
I don't even like DF that much, nor do I play it any more. But it just seems so dumb to me to slap a price tag on a game that's already free. I stand by that it is literally fucking DF for kindergarteners. I'm not trying to be a dick either, but I really just want people to realize they're playing a simplified, drunken DF. That's exactly what they're doing. Go spend the time to learn DF, it's worth it.
So don't play? What's the problem here? Tripwire sucks? You're not buying RO2 because of this?
