Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad V5 - Rising Storm

There's a lunge mine in Sgt. Joe's very own RS Armor mod. And yes, it's great.

[QUOTE]Hello everyone. Today we have a new media update to share which covers a different class of explosive weapons that one may find while patrolling the jungle. As always remember what you are about to see are Works in Progress and often prototype implementations. Diving right in, let us talk about C4 and Tripwires.

Does the C4 detonation anim seem kinda weird, or is just the capture stuttering?

[angelangel]

are these guys cowboys or what

the speed at which they draw/ready their weapons seems a tad too fast

There's a lot of fishy stuff with what I've been seeing. Also, there's a shitload of twitching and weird repeated animations with the C4

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;50697870]It says right on the post that it's work in progress material, of course they're not gonna look that dodgy on release even if it's Tripwire making it[/QUOTE]

I dunno man. This IS Tripwire we're talking about here.

[QUOTE]Hello everyone! We have another media update today with another planted trap/mine/explosive weapon: The MD-82 (also known as the Toe Popper). This landmine uses a pressure switch located on the top of the mine, which is triggered when stepped on.
As always what you are about to see is a Work In Progress, but today we have a new WEBM showing a small field of these at work (using a little known Rising Storm feature that is making a return in that mines in close proximity can and will detonate each other!).

Can't wait to have a team of guys put down an entire minefield just for one Jarhead to set the entire thing off and garner us 1 kill.

Also hype.

[QUOTE]Hello everyone! We are excited to bring you the next Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Media Update. While we previously introduced the famous M79 grenade launcher, today we want to talk about a different type of round. While the standard 40mm grenades were designed with a minimum arming distance to protect the user from self-inflicted injury and death, it was found that this very same mechanism left a soldier carrying an M79 as their primary weapon practically unarmed for short distance engagements, such as when dealing with bunkers, tunnels and close in jungle fighting.

The M576 40mm grenade replaces the stock high explosive grenade, firing a load of buckshot down range instead. Perfect for those close encounters - let’s take a look:

As always keep in mind that what you are seeing is a WIP![/QUOTE]

[Jeff_epic_mopeds]

I just realized the entire time I've been posting links to forum announcements they've also been reposting them to Steam. derp.

Might as well put both, if anyone want to see more comments about it.

Although on the forum the devs actually respond sometimes.

[QUOTE]Hello everyone! We are back with another media update for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Today we want to cover our updated ragdoll system which will allow bodies to fall in more natural ways as compared to Red Orchestra 2 or Rising Storm. Overall the ragdoll is more relaxed and falls into more natural positions. When dying, momentum from the player’s movement is now applied to the ragdoll so killing a player who is sprinting is now very satisfying.

As always, remember that what you are about to see is a Work In Progress:

As an additional reminder we won’t have anything up for the week of Gamescom but are prepping for some big news following the show as well as being at PAX West![/QUOTE]

I can see this leading to some hilarious moments. :v:

[lilguy]

A bit more natural looking... but I still kinda prefer the RO2/RS style where the player does a short animation before ragdolling. Seeing a rifleman clutch his chest where he was shot before slowly crumpling over from a standing position feels a lot more dramatic than how fast and relaxed this new ragdoll system seems.

A mix between the two would be nice. With RO2 there was a lot of clipping and rigidness with the animated deaths, and it kinda took me out in some places

[Jeff_epic_mopeds]

A dev confirmed it'll be a mix of both:

[QUOTE=PsYcH0_Ch!cKeN]They're still there, but they only apply to kills made on certain hitzones.[/QUOTE]

Which makes sense, if you get shot in the head you would flop to the ground instantly, if you get shot in the stomach you'll still be alive for a few seconds.

I didn't see this update get posted here

Hello everyone! One of the things the team is working on as the game continues through development is new and optimized particles and effects. Today I have an example of our recently updated M8 Smoke grenade in action. Designed to help soldiers conceal their positions and movements from others the M8 is a close-in hand grenade that has seen continued use for many decades.

As always, remember that what you are about to see is a Work In Progress:

And, in terms of further information, some of you will know we had intended to roll some more news for GamesCom. While that plan has fallen through, we’re now set up to bring you some big news in the run-up to PAX West. Following on from that, we’ll be running a Streaming Panel at PAX to go into more detail with fans!

Those US units look like Special Forces or MACVSOG

[shaotek]

MACV-SOG possibly as US Hero class variants?

[Konstapeln]

RS2 Looking really good.

[Skelosk]

Anyone knows how much RS2 will cost?

[Zillamaster55]

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;50854104]Anyone knows how much RS2 will cost?[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was $40

[Strikerrr]

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50855523]Wouldn't be surprised if it was $40[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing RO2/Rising Storm owners will get a discount of some kind

Pft, no way. If anything, we'll get a throw away skin

[bishibosh]

This is probably silly to ask, but do you guys think the ragdoll changes will make their way into base RO2/RS?

[Squeegy Mackoy]

[QUOTE=Oblivion Knight;50862721]This is probably silly to ask, but do you guys think the ragdoll changes will make their way into base RO2/RS?[/QUOTE]No, because that would involve work.

[QUOTE]Hello everyone! We are back with another media update for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Today we want to highlight a pistol grip variation of the Ithaca shotgun in addition to a new location that is being worked on (this map has yet to be officially named). Nestled between some mountains, this quiet jungle valley is about to heat up!

As always, remember that what you are about to see is a Work In Progress: (Also, we know Ithaca is misspelled in the webm.)
