Sirocco Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 In my experience I often wished people would be *more* defensive. You'd often have lone defenders appear in the rear of the attackers, for example, on certain maps. And sniping alone on maps won't win the round for attackers. I'd snipe and maneuver to help teammates onto the objective, because that was my strong point. The MP40 was a great weapon for CQB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Well, I checked out the site and read the reviews and watched the trailer and read the forums and ... in short, I pre-ordered it. (I'd do that for CMC, also, if it was at that stage.) Seems like a smaller scope - squad level as infantry, platoon level or weak company level for armor - WW2 FPS, compared to WW2 Online. Which I played for .. way too long. Should be interesting and a nice change of pace from CM:BB and the upcoming CMC. BTW, I just finished one of the battles on the disk in CM:BB; don't remember which one, I was Soviet and concentrating on using the infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ExplodingMonkey Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Why is Steam putting it out though? I thought UT'04 was Atari's thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 There's a very extensive interview from Game Informer, which i believe answers your question. It also has some nice screenshots in there. Also, there's a TWL(TeamWarfare League) 2 part interview also availbable which might answer some more questions. It's actaully a much smaller interview, don't know why there's 2 parts. Nonetheless, here's Part 1 and the other Part 2. And if that's no enough then check out the Computer Gaming World article available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oberst Greup Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Originally posted by ExplodingMonkey: Well, maybe I need to give it another shot then. Still have a decent following? Yes, I would say so - at least until the commercial (Ostfront) version comes out. Unfortunately that one will leave us Mac and Linux people out in the cold so I guess that there will be still some people left at RO3.3 afterwards... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Just wanted to give a heads-up to those interested. The release date has been announced for this Tuesday the 14th(On Steam). They expect the boxed version to be in stores about 1-2 weeks after. There's been all kinds of media/previews/videos posted. Head on over to this thread in the general forum to check it out, theres links galore in it. I figured there's some of you that never bother with the GF and just check the CMBB forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmavis Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah, Glantz, Nipe, and Ziemke seem to be heavily cited sources by the development team. They plan to include Finland, eventually. You hear that, Sergei? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've got the pre-order. Game starts some time on 14 March. Give me something to do while waiting for CMC. *sigh* Well, it's not CMC or even WW2 Online, but it's WW2 and multiplayer .... *sigh* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Haven't played RO in any form (presume it's a PC game and am on Mac), but the view through the Panther gunsight sure takes me back--to years ago when I lived elsewhere and had a heavily modded and data accurized Panzer Elite to play on my roomie's PC. Thanks for reviving the memory! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
