About the Game

 

 

Heroes of Stalingrad will take the award winning Red Orchestra franchise into the next generation of gaming. Cutting edge graphics and audio built on Unreal Engine 3, inventive features and streamlined realism will deliver an unrivalled WWII experience. Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad and the surrounding operations, both German and Russian, from July 1942 to February 1943 the game allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. For the first time ever in a first person shooter gamers will be able to experience WWII from the Axis side in a German single player campaign.

VAkkkkC :P

 

I know, VAC is a big time bummer with HoS. My personal hope is that, because of a primarily adult, hardcore PC gamer playerbase, the hacks will be at a minimum. Combine that with a playerbase and server admins that take this game very seriously, and I don't think you will have the typical console port, blockbuster game cheater/ noob atmosphere. At least, that's what I hope.

Here's a nice little review of the game as it is now, by ibleed v2.0. This is a true PC game that will be big, I believe. I am hoping that it will be a title I can enjoy for a long time to come. Just like the PC games of old. Anyway, this is a good read.

Yeah, I love both of those games also. Actually, I like anything TWI does. Real games for gamers by real gamers. Screw the pandering and PR speak, I'm over that with the blockbuster guys. Time to support a game company that actually feeds my needs.

Three total conversion mods that are being developed for RO2 right now, before the regular game even releases. These will be put out there in intervals. They should keep this game interesting for a long time to come. Plus, with mod tools out of the box, there will be tons of custom content out there. TWI has also stated that they will be releasing a crap-ton of DLC for it also. Sounds like a winner. Oh yeah, server files will be totally accessible.

This is great news IMO. Hope it will live up to the old game and build on that foundation. I am looking forward to is as most of the new games have divided our community. I have had no use for the last games put out so lets hope this changes things back for the PC community.

Comp gaming, PC Gamer and announcements coming!

 

Yes, it is that time of the week again. Yes, Evan Lahti (and a camera crew) were over here in Atlanta this week to film some interview material. Rona (their producer) was wishing for sweet tea, heat and a good storm, seeing they don't get any of that in San Fran. She got sweet tea with her lunch, temp pushing past 90 in the afternoon - and a hefty Atlanta storm in the evening. Officially about 1.5 inches of rain in a 2-3 hour period, but it felt like more. So everyone was happy. Except my daughter, who was supposed to be starting training for track with a new club. It was cancelled, otherwise it would be swim training, not track.

 

Evan tweeted some comment about announcements very soon - he's right, of course. E3 is out of the way, Riccitiello and Kotick are slanging each other's companies again, EA are pointing fingers (VERY bizarrely) at Valve - and now it will be our turn to actually put out GOOD news. Starting next week... the sort of news gamers like to hear, not the garbage that belongs in a crap reality TV show. PC Gamer are lining up a stack of material for RO fans over the next couple of months - but you'll have to bother them about that - so go pester on the PCG forums!

 

Competitive gaming: some of you have spotted (and it has now been highlighted elsewhere on the forums - see this thread HERE) that we are holding a TS conference, hosted by nKM of Rush Zone, for a bunch of comp/pro gamers from the BF and CoD worlds. It will be moderated etc.

 

For the RO faithful, there probably won't be anything new from our side - but a lot of this will be new for the guys coming in. Part of it is just the thought of the devs actually talking to them, maybe even listening smile.gif Fell free to stick your heads in, but keep in mind that it will be moderated and may also be limited on numbers, in which case some people may be botted to make room for the intended audience of new warm bodies (who don't know us well enough to love us yet).

 

Just thinking of Evan, he jumped onto the beta test late yesterday. I didn't hear his reaction, but I shouold have logged one comment - "Alan is a hero". We were playing Countdown, our team pushing for the second-to-last Objective, out of reinforcements and going down steadily. I'd headed out for a run round the left flank, then cut back. Caught two of the enemy trying to push out and take down the remainder of our team. Cut left into a building and caught another. Upstairs for one more. Back down and through the ground floor route. Into the building behind the objective, shot another in the back, up the stairs. About to reload, turn around to find Keith (Swag) in my face from nowhere - and got my first melee kill. He swears he shot my head off, but the server clearly thought differently. Just reloaded in time to hip-shoot another one, before finally getting nailed from somewhere I didn't see. Apparently, I only had 6 more to kill for the win...

Tripwire Interactive had a Teamspeak conference today and gave out some details about the competitive side of RO2. Biggest news that applies to PBBans is they are using VAC and PunkBuster. PBBans will fully support RO2 as I have been talking with various members of Tripwire over the last few months to help make it happen. They are a great group to talk with.

 

They also said RO2 will have ranked and unranked servers. Anyone can host a unranked. As for ranked they said there will be official servers but server admins will have the ability to submit their servers to be included for ranked server status. Servers found abusing the system (Modified stats etc) will be removed.

 

I will post a link to the cast when it's posted.

In the first part of the interview, the Tripwire President said the new Red Orchestra is not a "crappy console port". It is a "true PC game".

 

I hope he's right. :)

 

WOOT! Tripwire President says they are going to stream PB with us. That is cool. Listen to the 2nd part of the broadcast between time 4:00-7:00 and you will hear it.

So far TW has been a PC developer only. They admit they will be looking into other platforms in the future, but have designed all of their games thus far to be 100% PC games.
