Hey guys,

The Rising Storm team have a released a new video for Gamescon 2012. It shows an American attack on the Japanese bunkers of Iwo Jima. Everything is still beta but the potential is massive.

Check it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsYn0g3PQ2I

Cheers,

Fafnir_6

I can't join the Campaign Test Server on the Beta, it has a Password, is there going to be a public one?

RISING STORM FOOTAGE!!!!! Includes an informative voice-over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27jXLqAuDfY

RS will be a pay-for, stand-alone expansion for RO2 that will also include the multiplayer component of RO2. The video shows 4 maps (Saipan, Betio, Hanto, Iwo Jima) and illustrates a lot of NEAT features (some of which address the asymmetrical loadouts between the two forces):

For the Japanese:
Banzai charges (suppresses enemy, increases stamina, etc).
Grenades used as IEDs
Spawn bunkers
Katanas

For the USMC:
Flame throwers
Shotguns
lots of iconic, advanced weaponry

@KRT_Bong: I looked into your password issue and you are not the only one. I guess the MP campaign server is not really live yet...I'll let you know when they post a PW or if it opens up.

Cheers,

Fafnir_6

That was cool, if it's stand-alone and it includes RO2 multiplayer now what if you already have RO2? You now have two installs of RO2 Multi (plus the beta for me)? He also mentioned bringing new features into RO2 from RS?

It IS standalone but I think the RS install will probably be merged with RO2 if you have it (this is a guess on my part - details haven't been released about that yet). Release date is also unknown but the expansion looks relatively far along and they've been beta testing it for months now. I suspect release in fall...again just a guess. Just keep checking here and I'll let you know when some concrete info for it comes out.

Cheers,

If you actually watched the video you would have heard Tony tell you when RS will be released.

Haha! I re-watched the vid and you are correct. Right at the very end he says RS will be out early 2013.

Good catch,

I've been playing the crap out of RO2 and have been having a blast. Really like some of the realism servers. Love getting behind a pack of Russkies with a G41 and make em go the way of bowling pins.

Probably is the best WW2 tac-shooter out there.

I know it's probably posted in this thread already, but maybe as a link, because did a quick scan and didn't see a You Tube window.
