Title: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: Jimi Hendrix on 21-08-2012, 15:08:46
 
(http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/logo_600.png)

So i heard about this last year & recently i noticed a Dev from FH2 that had "Dev" signatures for Rising Storm. Krätzer   

 There has never been a mod specifically for the Pacific Theater & this one looks quite good.

 Apparently the release date has been set for early 2013: http://www.moddb.com/mods/rising-storm

 Any more info on this?

 Is this why it will take 1-2 years to release Eastern Front or no?

"1-2 years" is actually based on nothing. Just want to point that out.

Indeed. And as far as I know is Krätzer working on a Pacific Mod for ArmA 2 aswell. So to say we will get a flood of pacific stuff in the upcoming months. The Hell in the Pacific beta looks promising aswell as Rising Storm, so some quality stuff is on the way. I am looking forward to both of them  :)

I am not looking for that aswel. A good trailer always shows thing neutral from both sides. Japs shooting muricans, Muricans shooting japs. Its mostly japs shooting muricans. I know many mods who started with these type of trailers and then turned out to be heavily biased towards one faction. Many died because of that. (Republic at war is a fine example. Excellent quality mod but the balance is heavily shifted to the CIS side and the developers do not hide that they fuckin" love the CIS and hate the GAR)

Still i am seeing a fine ass mod here.

Here germans, heres the MP40 with 32 round magazine and you can unlock a prototype jungle style double magazine!

here Soviets, have the late war 35round magazine and you need thousands of kills to unlock the 72 round authenthic of that era, drum mag.

Here germans, have many unlocks for MG34! Up to 250 round belts altough troops at squad level never used them
Here soviets, have nothing for DP28!



Thank god for historic mode tough

Well I just started playing the beta yesterda, and i have to say i am amazed! They really pushed the UE3 to its limits on some maps and created very beautiful and atmospheric maps (Guadalcanal!). The weapon and ambient sounds are very top notch, as is the voice acting. And holy crap its terrifiying when 5 japanese soldiers banzai you and you empty your clip in panic and have to go in melee combat, some of the most intensive moments in multiplayer i ever had. Also found very few bugs, a big improvement to the RO2 HoS beta.
Everybody who owns Ro2 will get a bigger discount, so try it out now!

Got into the closed beta, too (thanks to Mopskind) and while I´m usually not a big fan of the Pacific War, I´ve got to say that it´s quite a nice mod, sorry, expansion pack.
The atmosphere is pretty good, sounds are really nice and it has its own unique features that make RS feel different than RO2.
Fighting in dense jungles is a new challenge, that takes some time to deal with. And when I was bayonetted by a Japanese who charged me out of a bush only a metre away I felt pretty scared! Same goes for the flamethrower which is a pretty dreadful weapon tha results in some really disturbing sound effects...
Unfortunately I can´t say much about graphics, since I´m at my parents house this weekend and can only play the game on my 3 year old laptop.
There are some minor things that annoy me though, most of which seems to come from RO2. So far I don´t really feel like spending money on the game, mainly because last months bills habe been a bit high, but fortunately the beta will run for some time and maybe the game will become even better than it already is.

I thought the flame throwers just looked great. When I ran into the trench beside a fellow marine, and watched him blast flames over the parapet whilst a squad of Japanese soldiers poured over it on fire, I was laughing with sadistic satisfaction. The jungle fighting makes it extremely intense, targets are hard to spot. I played most of my two rounds so far as a USMC Machine Gunner, and I found myself spending belts of ammunition into wood-lines with no real targets, just a faint idea of where they were. The Arisaka is pretty terrifying, unable to see the enemy, you hear it go off and the next second you are dead.

I think they are doing a great job so far, and if it continues like this it'll be a great expansion to RO2.
Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: THeTA0123 on 26-05-2013, 00:05:21
Yep that was the Arisaka Type 38 alright. The 6.5x50mm was not hard hitting, but produced little sound, no smoke or flash and was dead on accurate


However if it did not penetrated a major organ or bone, it was "Just a flesh wound"

does the japanese soldier also get the type 99 rifle?

Red Orchestra's mechanics just make for some of the most memorable moments for me.

My most memorable moment of the last round, was carefully making my way through the hell hole of Saipan with three other marines, when a Japanese infantryman came bursting around the corner with his bayonet. Taking out my fellows, before I in turn stabbed him in the back.

Flame throwers are still making my nights too. Listening to men screaming in agony after our throwers burst flames through the upper windows of a building is just gut wrenching.

My Review :)

 I was recently invited into the Rising Storm beta by a friend, much to my excitement. I was hoping that the Rising Storm team would be able to make RO:2 into what it should have been, the successor to the fantastic RO:1. I couldn't have been more wrong. The moment I entered the beta, the similarities have astounded me. This is essentially the same game, the same vile dismemberment of realism that was RO:2. Everything about the game is designed to make money.

When the game started, I decided spawn in as a normal Japanese rifleman and to my immediate disgust, even in realism mode, I see that he is equipped with a sidearm. Japanese riflemen were never issued sidearms during WWII, what I am seeing here is some kind of balancing crap that the RS team initially promised not to pull off and design the maps to get around it. I decided to ignore it begrudgingly and try to continue to play even with this blasphemous ignoration of reality. As I continued to play I eventually switched over the American team on Iwo Jima and once again I am disgusted. Fairly early in the round, I am charged by three katana wielding Japanese infantrymen and proceed to shoot them with my Thompson. I understand the banzai mechanics were an attempt to get the Japanese team to use realistic tactics, but this is ridiculous. I empty my magazine into the three of them, killing a single one and despite being full of bullets continue charging me like this is some sort of last samurai shit (probably another on of your references ) and chop me to pieces. After this I immediately decided to stop playing. I was disgusted.



RS appears to be trying to make money off the hype that The Pacific miniseries created and it appears to have been the team's primary reference.  I assumed, once again incorrectly, that Rising Storm was a labor of love by a group of developers who were not in it for the money, but to provide the world with a realistic interpretation of the Pacific War, a gap that has never been filled. I recognized a few of the developers and researchers from various community modifications I have played in the past, but I suppose money can drive people to do anything. I have no problem with hard working devs asking for money in return for there work, but they went beyond that by adding an unlocking system similar to RO2's and I thought we had already figured out what the original RO community thought about that shit, but I suppose that you are all too blind to see it. Once again, Tripwire (I think it is safe to refer to the RS developers as being on and the same) will appeal to neither the arcade community or the original RO/DH realism community, trying to find a middle ground between realism and arcadishness.

Just discovered that you could switch from the Arisaka 38 to the 99, and from the Garand to the Springfield.

Also, much fun was had with the M1919A6.  I also liberated a katana today, and immediately charged over a grenade trap.

I would describe this game as a bad joke. A bad joke, just like it's predecessor.

Why do people like this? Do they seriously enjoy playing a game where you first run over 100 meters to get to position to defend, then get killed instantly by a guy that you never see, but he allways sees you.
Maps are badly designed, look at Iwo Jima and understand what I mean.
Also, flamethrower and knee mortar are sweet, but unnecessary.

Every single time I quit the game because it's not fun. Games are supposed to be fun and this game fails badly. Even Modern Warfare games are enjoyable.

I don't have time to write an extended review, but so far, I really like what I see from the game.  Maybe the gun load is not 100% accurate, but the general mood of the game (graphics, sounds, vegetation, etc.) feels way more realistic than RO1/DH or FH2.  I played almost all ww2 fps (retail games and mods) and I think tripwire should not be ashamed about what they produced.   U can be disappointed the game is not exactly what u expected, but being disgusted is a bit overreacted imho.

Update : This is funny to see how Goljattii and Pascucci dislike the game for opposite reasons.

I would describe this game as a bad joke. A bad joke, just like it's predecessor.

Why do people like this? Do they seriously enjoy playing a game where you first run over 100 meters to get to position to defend, then get killed instantly by a guy that you never see, but he allways sees you.
Maps are badly designed, look at Iwo Jima and understand what I mean.
Also, flamethrower and knee mortar are sweet, but unnecessary.

Every single time I quit the game because it's not fun. Games are supposed to be fun and this game fails badly. Even Modern Warfare games are enjoyable.

I hope Rising Storm fails. And luckly it will because games like Cod: Ghost and Battlefield 4 are coming later this year.
There are people who dont like Call of battlefield modern whorefare dubstep 17. I dont like games were full auto weapons deliver 50 bullets on the size of an Post-it note. Nor do i like games were i need 10 bullets to kill a single guy.


RO2 was good for me, minus the wrong things. AKA TWI going COD style with super rare weapons being very common (AKA The MKB42 whoring)

RS is not that way. I play RS and i see what i would expect from a game wich is about the pacific


Altough i do agree with your point about flamethrowers and knee mortars. They are issued in to large numbers ATM

The flame thrower is way too fun! Ran around a hut and torched 6 japs at once! The screams of pain were music to my ears!

So far the game is very enjoyable! There are some beefs I have, but easy to overlook. Super pumped to see the full version!

Reading your review leads me to a serious question. How could you become a beta tester for FH2? "Flamethrower and Kneemortar are unnessecary" ... are you serious about that? Should we play FH0.7 or FH2 without them? They were used in this theatre of war and saw usage, so it is damn fine if they get implemented in such a game but in a rather accurate way and not just by balancing everything to death. The flamethrower was in BC2 Vietnam and that thing was really a bad joke. Was more like a Zippo ...

And for your information. One of the best aspects of the RO franchise is that spawnrape is a rather rare thing compared to other games because people don't spawn right into the battle as for example in your beloved BF or CoD games. Wtf, how can people not like to get spawnraped constantly?  ::)
For some people it is just enjoyable to spawn in a save zone, move to the heat of the battle and search for a good position. If you get killed by a guy you don't see then don't blame the game. You have to take care of your surroundings yourself or do you need a arrow blinking over all your enemies.

And to wish that Rising Storm fails is even more dumb. Glad that you support people like Toddel like that.  ::)

Have a nice day.

Ona side note: the game looks very promising for me and I am looking forward to it. Though the release tomorrow seems a bit early after reading some comments in the Tripwire forum.

Watch out we have a COD fan boy in here... Learn to have the skill to know who shot you and get kills. In reality you would not see your enemy shooting you either. Also Tomahawk and Nuke is unnecessary on an infantry fight yet those don't bother you. And saying that you hate to go to a place just to get shot makes me wonder why A) you play FH2 and B) you play FPS genre at all...


This game is awesome. Played only a few rounds but did quite well in it. Maybe i will buy it later on this year.

After having played the beta for 9 hours I´ve got mostly positive feelings about it. After I installed it on my actual gaming PC I´ve got to say that it looks really gorgeous and runs smoothly. The atmosphere is great and really tense, especially when you´re playing on that dark jungle map. Another great thing are the Banzai-charges, but from both sides. Being at the receiving end of one is just as exciting as being in a big wave of Japanese storming an Allied position. Sounds are really great, as well and add alot to the overall game experience.
Some things I dislike are the delusional decision of the devs to keep achievements and unlocks in the game. It´s especially crazy that you have to level up to unlock gamemodes. Fortunately levelling up doesn´t take too much time for a RO2 veteran, but for someone new this might be more frustrating. Then there are also graphic bugs, some small issues with the server browser and other minor things. Hopefully these issues won´t be too big of a problem after the release.
As I said earlier, I won´t buy the game, yet. If there´ll be more content like tanks and maybe a free-to-play weekend I might consider buying it. As of yet, it still feels a bit more like a mod than an additional add-on and spending money on that still feels a bit weird.

I don't play COD games so shut the fuck up.
For your questions: A) I play FH2 because I enjoy it. Realism and gameplay are well balanced. I think that too much realism kills the gameplay or gamejoy and that has happend on RO2/Rising storm. And that is my opinion.
B) I play FPS genre because they are mostly enjoyable.

Perhaps I was too harsh and didn't say any positive things in my review (like overall visual look and Pacific theme), but they won't change the fact that I just didn't enjoy it. Deal with it. You guys don't have to go on a crusade of jihad against me just because I don't like things that you do.

And let's make this flamethrower issue a bit more cleared. My opinion is, that yanks have better firepower aspect against japs like Garand, Bar, M1919, M1 carbine and even a shotgun. Do they seriously need a flamethrower to unbalance factors even more? Yes flamethrower was a common thing on late pacific, but is it a reason place it there? Japanese have only two spawnable automatic weapons, Type 100 smg and Type 99 lmg (or 96, I don't remember).
This is real, Japanese didn't have that great infantry firepower when compared to yanks IRL. But we are talking about a video game here, there should be a balancing factor that makes US and japanese factions equal, but I didn't see any and knee mortar can't be counted as a proper balancer.
I read from the statistics page that US can unlock japanese weapons and vice versa, but does it balance anything? Hardly. If you people know a certain something that makes both sides equal and balanced then please tell me.

As a summary: I just don't like the game. Deal with it. If you don't, then build a time machine and go to the late 1930's Germany or Soviet Union, in there you will find more likes of you that don't disagreeing opinions.

PS. 5hitm4k3r: Are you saying that I should like Rising storm and support it just because Toddel was among the people making it? THAT is dumb.
Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: hitm4k3r on 29-05-2013, 13:05:38
Goljatti, you need to learn to read. Wth did I say that you should like the game? There is certainly a difference between saying "ok, I can't get used to the game - it's just not my cup of tea" and to say "I wish this game fails". I hope you see this.

Nobody is expecting you to like the game, it might be possible that you find even nothing enjoyable about it. That's not the deal.

The USMC and the US Army had better equipment without a doubt and they used it during that war. Japanese didn't have that many full automatic weapons either and TWI and the RS dev team try to represent this on a realisitc way and this seems to be a quite big challenge. Same as the FH2 dev team tries to represent realistic loadouts and you should know this. If we were about to see a Pacific front for FH2, I promise you that it would look like quite similar.

One thing a dev can do is to limit those kits a bit better - that's a point where I agree with you. I think RO has a problem with kit swapping and multiplying but I am not 100% sure. Atleast I find it quite easy to pick up kits from dead soldiers and thus leading to possible imblances.

Same here. Finally downloaded it today, which wasn´t too much fun...
Anyway, I´m quite surprised you can play it for free, though you´re limited to bolt action rifles only. Didn´t think they´d do that. I´ll see how the game does in the coming weeks and how good the update will be (unlike RO2, where Tripwire promised us new tanks, maps and half-tracks half a year after the release....) and then decide if I´ll buy it or not.

Onestly i think tanks will ruin the game and they don't fit at all in the current maps. Even in RO2, where you have more open space i found tanks to be more annoyig than useful due to smaller and more streamlined maps than for example in FH2

1917 30 cal mg emplacement sights are mess up. They dont hit where you aim at, not even at 50 yards, they go over the top and I have to aim with the tracers.

The US Springfield 1903 sniper rifle is wrong, the Marines had the 1903a1 with a big ass 8x scope and iron sights.

No tanks

Flamethrowers are fucking awesome, but there's no negative point of using them at closest range, and no damage happens to the user.

Incase you own RO2, you get automaticly a part of the Rising Storm multiplayer. So you can play on all maps but only with bolt action rifles. They implemented this to allow mixed map rotations and to avoid splitting the community.

Rather nice feature I think. It doesn't kick you from the server, just because you don't own DLC XYZ.

When you buy Rising Storm you automaticly get the whole RO2 Multiplayer. Only thing you miss is the SP but not much of a loss if you ask me. So you have everything in one package and can use all weapons.

Camping is fine, the bottleneck is what kills both this game and RO2. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing both, and in a sense it is a similar type of gameplay as RO/DH, but it's just lacking something. That's why I like project reality and to a less extent FH2, the gameplay can be so dynamic.

was infact a myth in wich GI's would drop empty clips on the ground simulating the sound, in wich "MANY GERMAN AND JAPANESE SOLDIERS" tought they were out of ammo and then they would charge and then the Rest of the US squadmates would shout "MURICA and gun them down


reality was, that every frikkin german soldier knew that if one GI his garand plinged, the guys next to them probaly still have fully loaded clips



Also type 96 is awesome  ;D
We were defending on guadalcanal as japs. We were losing and we did one HUGE banzai charge. Before it, i picked up a Type 96 WITH bayonet...Killed 4 by just spraying! And then stabbed one enemy!

Army:

The Marine one has a 8x scope and iron sights, army just a 2.5x scope and no iron sights.

The Marine 8x scope is the lvl 50 unlock for the Springfield Sniper.

8.3...Not to shabby.  I thought for sure mainstream reviews such as IGN would have torn it a new asshole for its lack of mirror balance.  The biggest complaint the guy had was that no one is playing it.

Yeah, it probably will... TW is known for selling stuff cheap. I played the cut-down version since I own RO 2 but I won't be buying it anytime soon, even though it's quite an improvement over RO 2.

Can somone enlight me a little bit, what changes by achieving a higher level on a weapon. For example I recently reached Level 30 on my Arisaka 38. What is changed, when I choose the two chevron symbole instead of the one chevron?

Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2

shouldn't it come with bayonet or something then? I just started playing RO2 and there if you select the second chevron you get bayonet on your rifle.
Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: Captain Pyjama Shark on 23-07-2013, 20:07:29
I think the Arisaka starts with a bayonet though.

Also participating in a large banzai charge in this game was so fricking awesome.  I just got it and RO 2 is pretty great.

Not a fan of UE3 (although the burning Japs look delish), but I'm getting hooked on RS (RO2 isn't bad either). Animations are great (minus some quirks such as soldiers bolting the rifles with the index finger sticking out like they do whilst ready to shoot), after getting some used to I'm digging the first person cover system (wish more games had it).. yeah, it was a good summer deal. Still, it kind of sucks that the maps are the size they are (i.e. freakishly small) and there'll probably never be vehicles in the game.
Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: Captain Pyjama Shark on 25-07-2013, 02:07:24
Also I find the maps less well designed than FH2 maps.  Still a wonderful game, the cover system is great.

Something frustrating I think in the game is its really easy to bull doze the opposing team, with a few good eggs on your side, it becomes very imbalanced regarding level design.

I'm currently leveling all my weapons up to 50. Only a few more weapons to go!

@CPS and on my question: The stats of the waepons changes with level. That means on level 30 for example you have a 7 % bonus on accuracy or relaod time or whatever. You can find such things on your stats page in the main menu. If I get this right, these boni combines with the boni originating from your class rank. The arisaka indeed gives you now additional bonus on the second level, as it already comes with a bayonett. But it might gives you more ammunition, I have to check that. While the americans indeed get a bayonett on your rifle, once you have reached level 25 with the garand or the springfield.

So far I really like these waepons rank system. You not only get used to the waepons by yourself, but also stats wise. In the first games it always felt like you couldn't hit a barn door, while know you can perform longer and longest range shots with the rifles. This feels really natural.

Necro! :D Rising Storm 2 (I didn't see a thread)

Anyone see the Alpha gameplay trailer at the PC Gamer Weekender?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12S1gk9sImc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12S1gk9sImc)

I remember they announced this game at E3. Then.... nothing. Now they're actually showing some gameplay footage and progress. I haven't played RO2 or Rising Storm that much, but as for historical infantry shooters, it's really good. Obviously I don't expect any vehicles, and the only helicopters/ planes you'll see are called in by airstrike.

But if this is anything like Rising Storm, I'm pretty pumped. Been a while since we've have a good Vietnam FPS imo. With mod support etc, you could even see some South Vietnamese/ Australian/ maybe even French troops ;D (we can dream)

Is anyone else following this?

Yea it's alpha. The devs said that this video was recorded before they had an appointment to go and record proper gun sounds. I hope they can find some voice actors for the Vietnamese and Americans. It would be a shame to have to use original Rising Storm stuff.

Idk overall it looks promising. I'm interested to see what they come up with.

Just played a few rounds. Imo it's better than RO2 and RS. The squad system is more in line with BF2. Overall it's still very similar to RS tho. sounds are still lackluster and there's no vehicles :'( (haven't played choppers yet)

Still a good game and worth the $30 bucks imo. I just pre-ordered :) I hope they support the game and add things like South Vietnam, M113s and the Australians like the devs said they want to.
Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: Captain Pyjama Shark on 21-05-2017, 18:05:28
Can't decide to pre-order or not. I am enjoying it more than RO2, where I can't seem to kill a single person ever, but would like a little more variety in maps/weapons/vehicles (ARVN please!) If there is inevitably to be a French Indochina War mod that would really seal the deal.

I am having fun though. The M16 is a killer weapon but I can't shake my WW2 habit to use the Mosin Nagant when possible.
Title: Re: Rising Storm Expansion For RO2
Post by: Matthew_Baker on 21-05-2017, 18:05:55
I pre odered. You get 25% off the 'deluxe' addition (which is some soldier items like hats etc..) Imo $30 is just right for this game, it's not a AAA title worth $60, but it's well polished and I find the infantry gameplay to be solid.

Idk how many maps there are right now, but there's enough to keep me interested for a while. It'll probably be like RS where new maps from the community are thrown into the rotation.

From the FAQ thread on reddit;

Quote
Q: Are There plans for microtransactions or paid DLC?
A: Yes, we are looking at adding cosmetic packs to the game post launch. This will allow characters to have additional items to personalize their in-game characters. This paid content is designed to help us continue supporting the game with new free content for all players moving forward.
Q: Does the game feature a modding SDK? What can you do with it?
A: Yes the game features a full SDK. Modders can do anything from new maps and weapons to full total conversions if they wish. It is most similar to UE3/UDK with game specific unreal script extensions and middleware additions.
Q: What Factions Are Available in Game? A: Southern Forces: United States Army & Marines Northern Forces: Northern Liberation Front (Also known as the Vietcong) and the People's Army of Vietnam (The North Vietnamese Army).
We are looking at adding the ARVN and ANZAC forces as an update at some point during the game's life cycle. But keep in mind that plans can change.

https://www.reddit.com/r/rs2vietnam/comments/691859/rs2_vietnam_updated_faq_and_information_guide/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/rs2vietnam/comments/691859/rs2_vietnam_updated_faq_and_information_guide/)

I'm psyched they want to add ARVN and ANZACs. Ik nothing's official but the devs seem pretty passionate in wanting to bring new stuff. Looks like no French Indochina War, but tbh that's a stretch in any Vietnam game. (does EOD have a French faction?)

there's also talk on the forums of add drivable M113s for the Americans. No tanks or anything that powerful tho.

It's a fun game imo. Standard Rising Storm, and it's Vietnam so it's something different. It's got a few problems; the server browser, stuttering and hit reg have been the most frustrating so far. But the devs released a list of potential fixes for a patch that should come out later this month.
