Conspiracies Thread Mk II

[jan_kurator]

Not a conspiracy but how much maps are confirmed or "almost sure" to be added in 2.46?

Hopefully it wont be like 2.45... No offence meant of course, but waiting close to two years for three maps, one which i absolutely hate (sidi bou zid) quite sucked.... Not that im that worried since im most certain i will love Omaha and specially Gold beach!

hurr durr map sucked because I don't like it! 

You have to keep in mind a long development brake after 2.45 release but don't you worry, there are many WIP maps still to be finished and released sooner or later. I think upcoming patches will only be more and more interesting

[Turkish007]

We need a reinforcement of conspiracies on this thread!

Soooooo,

Do you guys think there is the rest of the H39 Hotchkiss tank turret that is present on the Omaha map?  Or even more French stuff? We have seen a couple French content in the changelog, I should remind.

[Wulfburk]

hurr durr map sucked because I don't like it! 

I didnt say that. I said it sucked to get only three maps after a long time without any updates (and i pointed out that one of these maps i didnt liked it. aka Sid Bou zid)

You have to keep in mind a long development brake after 2.45 release but don't you worry, there are many WIP maps still to be finished and released sooner or later. I think upcoming patches will only be more and more interesting

Yeah i know there are like close to a dozen wip maps and most spotted on those Test servers, im only wondering how much of those we'll see at 2.46.

[Ts4EVER]

As I said, 2.

[pizzzaman]

Now that its settled we're having 2 maps in the upcoming patch, what else should we expect until the release? Any more vehicles? Weapons? Game modes? Skins? Voices...  ?

We now have a H39 turret and chassis, I would imagine there is more. 

[Jimi Hendrix]

 Well, there is this really big rumor that the Devs will have a solution to the GAMEPSY ordeal.

 Im curious how this situation will effect online gaming in years to come.

 

 

[nysä]

Will there be any changes to the existing maps?

[jan_kurator]

Visually no (except some minor detail fixes), but codding wise, a lot.

[Kelmola]

[Surfbird]

Thanks for bringing things in order Kelmola. I see a lot of wonderful stuff

[Turkish007]

There are some very interesting and exciting stuff written in the changelog...

[Kelmola]

Interesting to see that even after the Tsar Bomba (Napoleon Bomba?) -sized dramabomb and its fallout and after devteam's assurances that there are no American infidels in Baghdad plans to pursue France 1940, Stonne is still being developed and French content is still actively added including the MS406 (of course that can be used in the Finnish maps as well).

Kharkov - is this one or two maps because it is referred to as both Kharkov and Kharkov Outskirts?

Also, He 111. A sign of more medium level bombers incoming?

Dragon Fist - now this sounds interesting. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING FROM US?

Hold Ground gamemode? Wut wut?

Finally, should we already start calling 2.47 as the "Paralympics" due to Pegasus and Ste Mere Eglise?

[McCloskey]

He 111 - I bet it's just for map flyovers. Anyway, I noticed there's already a "jump" kitmesh for the Americans - helmet chin straps included.

[Turkish007]

What the hell can a "Dragon Fist" be?

Also I have a different kind of excitement for the French content, another front we never heard in official updates!

Also nice find McCloskey, its time we hunt for hidden content since the new version came!
