[QUOTE=Mark9013100;49480714]God I love how chaotic matches can get, as we're down to 0 tickets and holding up in a building, our last machine gunner starts running out of ammo, so I toss him my spare SMG and go down to get some. Turns out, floor below us, two riflemen were holding out and didn't know we were there, so he yells at me to get in, and I tell him that the gunner needs ammo. He runs upstairs and somehow bayonets a friendly soldier to death. Following that, a squad of russians start breaching the place and the match ends.[/QUOTE]
I remember when we were playing as the Germans on Rakowice and we were attacking but couldn't get past B. We ran out of tickets and fell back to a bunker where we held out for a good 5-10minutes as the Russians including their T34 kept trying to get in from both sides. Eventually it was just me left with an MG42. I heard them coming from behind and killed one as i ran into the room next to me and hid behind the opposite door while spraying with my MG killing two russians with PPHSs who came in behind me. Immedietly after that a grenade killed me and the round ended. People were cheering me and laughing afterwards. That was a pretty epic moment.

I don't need skill. I have fire rate.
Has anyone seen a larger spree than this one? [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opx3Y7rQF_g[/media]
It is strange how it is 2016 now and there hasn't really been anything major announced about RS2. Hopefully it'll be out before 2017.

I was reading the Killing Floor 2 thread and someone from the dev team said (either on twitter or the TWI forums, can't remember) that we can expect RS2 stuff this week (as well as KF2 things, but that's not related to this thread I suppose).

Take everything with 2 or 3 servings of the Dead Sea.
Tripwire are shitty when it comes to actually putting out updates in a reasonable amount of time or giving a shit when it comes to what the community says.
Like I said in the announcement thread:
[QUOTE][QUOTE=Yoshiro]And for those of you who are fans of our Red Orchestra/Rising Storm franchise, keep an eye out next week! The march to war is on and we have news to bring you from the front! Stay tuned in for all the latest as we begin to talk about everything Rising Storm 2: Vietnam![/QUOTE]
I wish they had just done this as soon as the trailer released, but good enough I suppose.[/QUOTE]
I bet it there won't even be an actual release date, just a "we're working on it".
I do hope they give us more screenshots, especially of the NVA. Because in the trailer they literally looked like reskinned Japanese.
[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;49513714]they literally looked like reskinned Japanese.[/QUOTE]
Bet you $10 they are. Knowing Tripwire's quality of service they probably haven't even started work on RS2 and have just diddled with some models before some moneygrubbing bigwig at Tripwire came down and said "Let's hype this shit up so they give us more money"
I have to agree with your there. Like wtf is this:
[IMG]http://puu.sh/msWj3/072c8aca48.png[/IMG]
That looks like a stock human model with a Japanese head and helmet slapped on.

I REALLY hope they end up changing that eventually.
It clearly is. Tripwire's reasoning will probably be "b-but they got them slanty eyes too rite"
For fucks sake
[QUOTE=SergerantJoe]Can we please not have 100% of all maps pure jungle? I know it's a staple of the genre, but Vietnam had cities too.
The last game that featured a Vietnamese city was Battlefield Vietnam, from freaking 2004.

Wouldn't it be amazing to lead the ARVN through the ruins of Quang Tri, or skirmish with the Vietcong in Saigon during the Tet Offensive?[/QUOTE]
I swear if the ARVN aren't in the final game I will be the first to mod them in.

Speaking about Vietnamese Cities in games, Black Ops I had a mission taking place in Hue during the Tet Offensive. But yeah the South Vietnamese Army doesn't appear in a lot of games, last game I remember the ARVN being in was Battlefield: Vietnam.

A few times.
Can't say I have high hopes for RS2 but who knows, maybe tripwire will finally get their heads out of their asses.
Sorry for being uninformed. But isn't it called Red Orchestra 2: Vietnam? Or was Rising Storm made by an entirely new developer so they saw it fit to call it Rising Storm 2?
I also want urban Vietnam, like most of the combat scenes in Full Metal Jacket.
I think 1 Urban map in Hue would be great, worked well for Rising Storm.

MmMMmM pre-renders
I wonder how the helicopters are going to work?

Tells us fuck all that we didn't know before.
It's the exact same style of shit we got when RO2 first came out and what currently inhabits the loading screen. A bunch of pictures which aren't close to what we'll get.
I'm glad we know that it's mainly Antimatter working on this. Was a bit worried Tripwire was juggling this and KF2, which would've made both worse.
Whats with the 30 round mags in the M16s?
30-rounders were actually developed fairly early on, but they had problems with feeding since the design was still fairly new. As I recall by the end of the war they were relatively common, but earlier on they were mostly distributed to important units, but they did get around over time. In gameplay terms it might be to balance things out, considering the AK has a 30-rounder as standard. Hopefully it'll be like weapon levels in RO2 and Rising Storm, and you'll start off with a 20-round mag and eventually unlock 30-rounders by going up weapon levels. I also wonder if the M14 will be an option, considering the M16 wasn't officially standardised until '69.
[QUOTE=Bbarnes005;49525679]I wonder how the helicopters are going to work?[/QUOTE]
Calling it now: they'll only be seen as off-map reinforcements like RO2's recon planes.
I HIGHLY doubt we'll get to actually pilot them. The maps will have to be huge for that, which will kinda mess with the series' gameplay style.
They might be stuck on a fixed navigation path with a player gunner like Call of Duty kill streak air support.
