Smoke grenades, a new map, and many fixes! Tripwire is awesome-ness! :D

[DarkOmen]

Yeah I love the way they are updating it with content for free. Awesomeness indeed!

[Borus]

Victory conditions changed so round can no longer end in stalemate "No Decisive Victory" situations.

Oh yes.. I can imagine it now.. Two lone enemy soldiers popping out one at a time in trenches about 5 feet away from each other and firing off a shot until one person decides to take initiative in about one hour and hits the other guy with a spade. Woo hoo..

But alas.. I don't have the game.. Sounds pretty fun with the new map and smoke grenades. So Enjoy

[NortherlyNanook]

I don't really care too much about the smoke grenades, but the new map looks quite good.

[herman]

Oh man I'm on vacation that week, so I'll have to wait a while to play it. The new map looks very nice.

[Dutchlike]

New map looks nice :D

[xtc-alec]

This is gonna rock, cant wait.

[Jimmy]

Nice one. The two new weapons (The MP41 and M33 I think) were a nice touch but a new map and smoke grenades will be cool.

[Crazythumbs]

Hopefully they release the demo soon after this. I would go out and by it but with my luck it wouldnt work, comp will crap out, and all that fun stuff would happen.

ARGGHHH i need my internet conection, before i can reinstall RO and then get this!! I better have it by the 27th...:mad:

[BLind^]

forget adding crap, they should fix the recoil on the germans mg's :(

[[BEF]-R!G4M0RT!Z]

Sometimes my guns dont recoil at all... then again, more often than not, they do... I dont complain at the time :D

[BLind^]

i have a love hate relationship with the RO Mg42, it mostly dependant on the position you put yourself in.

The best position is prone with a little obstacle infront of you, you dont get much barrel rise from here and extended bursts work well just make sure you call for ammo alot.
Just being prone on flat ground is OKish.
Setting up on sandbags or in a window is crap tho, after about 3 rounds your looking at the clouds :mad:

[DarkCanuck]

sounds great. i think we were promised that we would get more stuff prior to purchasing it.... could be wrong though.


jolly good, content is always welcome.

[emery]

All we need now is some players :p
Na, it's good that they are already giving out content to the deserving community :) I'm looking forward to the mods a bit more though.

on StalingradKessel being on the roof with an MG42 looking down and with a guy ready to supply you is the best.

Free Bonus pack... wasn't there a time when they called this A PATCH?!

[Jimmy]

A patch is something that fixes a game. A bonus pack or update is something that adds new content to a game.

[NortherlyNanook]

BF2 has patches like these... Remember Wake 2007? That was from a patch. I'm not supporting BF2 or anything with this comment, but this isn't much of a booster pack.

[[BEF]-R!G4M0RT!Z]

Dude, who cares if it isn't much... Its better than nothing :D I can't wait to play it!! I just got my internet back, so I am re-installing RO as we speak :D

[NortherlyNanook]

Oh, I agree. That map just calls to me! The smoke grenades may be kinda fun, but I don't know. I love that fix, however, where you can choose what kind of round you want to fire next. It was such a drag that if you wanted to fire an AP round and then an HE round, you had to reload an AP round after the fired AP round. Then, you had to take out the AP round, and replace it with the HE round. Twice the reloading!

[-=KnIfE=-]

I can confirm that the map is awesome, having tested it from its beta stage to its near completed stage (just before I quit the core test team).

Good trenchy fun :)

-=KnIfE=-

[Jimmy]

Well, sometimes patches are mixed with updates to bring new content and game fixes.

[metsapeikko]

Aaaw, I cant wait much longer for this. :>

[Xendance]

And please, stop arguing over whether is it a patch/booster pack or whatever. It's just something humorous from a game called BF2 where they charge you for few maps, weapons and vehicles :P

[xplosiv]

Looking forward to the new map and a couple of fixes to annoying bugs. Smoke grenades should make for some interesting situations :p

[Hartstock]

hell yea

finally i can smoke to move 2 feet lol

and what does it mean Tank reloading: we've listened to the requests and we have changed the tank reloading so that you now choose the next round to load, without having to unload first. Quicker, more realistic, more intuitive

[NortherlyNanook]

Oh, I agree. That map just calls to me! The smoke grenades may be kinda fun, but I don't know. I love that fix, however, where you can choose what kind of round you want to fire next.

Read this bloody chunk. Might make more sense to you, unless you never tried to change AP rounds to HE rounds.

could someone explain to me how you do this? I have tried pressing a lot of buttons trying to change the round and failed.

[NortherlyNanook]

The "x" key is the default. When you press it, you are unloading the AP round and replacing it with an HE round. The problem with this is that if you wanna fire an AP round and then an HE round, you have to fire the AP, load another AP round, then load the HE round. Double the reloading.

And for those who don't know... AP is armor piercing (for tanks and vehicles and stuff), and HE is high explosive (for infantry clumps and getting them out of houses).

[Zengotten]

Thank you

[Ripper]

the new map looks similar to the old moscow highway map just not snowy

[Manstein]

it doesn't play like Moscow Highway tho, almost all the fighting is within the trenches themselves
