Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad V5 - Rising Storm - Games

[QUOTE=Araknid;50051434]jesus christ it takes way too long to level up honor All I want is the M1919 as the Japanese, but I still have 24 levels to go[/QUOTE] The grind is real. Less so on low pop servers with bots, but still very very real. If you want raw player levels, best use a flamer on some japanese botfodder. For role and gun levels, you need to camp in a good spot where bots' pathfinding take them and just start shooting away at them.

God damn getting a 100m headshot with a Trench Gun or killing 5 japanese with a Katana in a row always feels so god damned good, especially with how hard it is to pull off both. Atleast with the katana, you can fool the enemy into thinking that you are one of their own.

[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;50051081]content[/QUOTE] it all looks so good, I'm looking forward to this game more than any other this year.

Excuse me if I'm late on this, but what's been going on with the Immersion Overhaul Mutator? I've just recently noticed that it's no longer on the workshop.

i tried Heroes of the West and it was pretty cool. Really liked the maps and the atmosphere on some maps, plus the new weapons have pretty good sounds. However i do not like the G42. It just feels out of place and doesn't feel very powerful at all. And why isn't there a scoped Lee Enfield or an FG42? Also the new maps tend to favour the germans. Or least, the germans won the ones i played on while the allies couldn't even advance beyond the first few objectives before they ran out of tickets or the time ran out.

All the other coders quit and Dibbler is busy with RS2, so I took over as lead developer. The source code is a horrific unorganized mess, so the first thing I did was scrap the whole kit and kaboodle and am currently making a v2.0 primarily from scratch.

PzB39 would be awesome, was really disappointed when I discovered tripwire cbf and just gave the Germans the PTRS...

[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;50051081]Yoshiro posted some more shots of RS2 content today.

I have to say Omaha Beach is a really good map, but maybe a bit unbalanced at the beginning. Getting kills with the non scoped g42 from 400 meters is extremely satisfiying.

[QUOTE=Araknid;50051434]jesus christ it takes way too long to level up honor All I want is the M1919 as the Japanese, but I still have 24 levels to go[/QUOTE] Somehow when I got rising storm the 1911 was already unlocked for the japs. My primary weapon on iwo jima as a jap. .45 rounds just raining down with somehow op Accuracy.

[QUOTE=Adarrek;50056096]I have to say Omaha Beach is a really good map, but maybe a bit unbalanced at the beginning. Getting kills with the non scoped g42 from 400 meters is extremely satisfiying.[/QUOTE] They really fixed it up with the update. Possible to flank right and not get torn up the minute you set foot on the beach. Port Brest (aka port worst) still has an issue with like the 3rd cap point being too easy to defend. Granted the game I played everyone on my team took the flanks but never controlled the middle road despite one guy just spraying at the smoke with an MP40. You can actually cap the first point without having to get into the water now though.

[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;50053174]IOM is dead in the water at the moment.[/QUOTE] But at least me and AAZ finished these guys yesterday. [IMG]http://puu.sh/o5mPu/91a6591fab.png[/IMG] The specular map needs some more work, it's probably a bit too bright.

Do I see facial animation?

Naval telnyashka should be a bit darker. Right now it looks like VDV. [t]http://cs10856.vkontakte.ru/u798404/133689964/x_36af521b.jpg[/t] I don't know if its the lighting or what but the one on the left looks okay, right one looks too bright.

IIRC the character rigs always supported facial animations

They did initially, but then Tripwire removed it because [QUOTE=Yoshiro]Bone count related to draw call cpu pegging[/QUOTE] It's possible to bring them back, the code and FaceFX assets are all there and set up, but the models are missing the face bones.

Having it been 5 years, I think we can deal with the overhead by now.

[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;50068920]They did initially, but then Tripwire removed it because It's possible to bring them back, the code and FaceFX assets are all there and set up, but the models are missing the face bones.[/QUOTE] Man, they could have at least had it as an option rather than outright removing it :pudge:

does heros of the west have vehicle like tanks and stuff

[QUOTE=mastfire;50074112]does heros of the west have vehicle like tanks and stuff[/QUOTE] Not yet but I think that's their next big hurdle.

[QUOTE=spekter;50074178]Not yet but I think that's their next big hurdle.[/QUOTE] They added PIAT but no Boys AT i believe. Germans also should have the panzerfaust

They do have halftracks, and they should have the Bren Carrier as well soon. I had a discussion with one of the main guys, and apparently even with their barrage of mappers, modelers, texturers and artists in general, not one of them could figure out how to make a simple model swap, which literally all it is. :glare: So I just gave them mine.

Speaking of mods, I'm working on a map for the Singapore mod. I'll post screenshots but be warned I'm not an expert mapper.
