OWA Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I've been paintballing today and have come back black and bruised..... But you dont want to hear about that, you want the blog! So here it is! 50 weeks of nonstop blogs deserves a medal, you have to agree. <h3>Fun stuff from danpaul88!</h3> It's the big 50! Apocalypse Rising has delivered a blog to you every week for the last FIFTY weeks, that's almost an entire years worth of blogs! To celebrate this we have not one, but TWO new videos for you to drool over. Video 1: Rockets in the sky! Video 2: Action from the Core. NB: The credits for Rockets in the sky imply that danpaul88 coded the flying infantry script. He would like to point out that the credits are meant to refer to the veterancy scripts only, the flying infantry code was developed by Jonwil. Although we will be modifying it at some point to get rid of the statue effect it seems to have on the infantry unit's body. <h3>Soviets Soviets Soviets!</h3> The Soviet Union focus on pure power and sheer numbers to overwhelm the enemy. The union of Soviet nations in game is explained as a "World Socialist Alliance" that the Soviets built up since the last war, ostensibly for foreign aids to other socialist countries but which was really a front for a new military alliance to attack the Allies. The soviets are currently building rhino tanks which are the backbone of the Soviet army. They is more expensive than the Allied Grizzly Tank, and do not move as fast, but their superior armor and weapons make up for this. <h3>Isle Of War</h3> Ric has an update on everyone's favorite RA2 map. Isle of War! I expect this map to be fast paced and fun as the Allies and Soviets duke it out. This map will eventually incorporate Land, Sea and Air battles for maximum carnage! <h3>Team Updates</h3> I'm off to meet the worlds biggest mammoth tank fan, Mammutpanzer, tomorrow as he grinds into Hereford on his russkie-tour of Britain. dtrngd had modelled a bunker for use on Rocky Pass, this will most likely be included into the mappers object pack. dt: nah, that one is too bad... here's a better one Filming has begun on the new Bluehell Group Intro. After this is complete we shall be looking for you. Nameme is back! Nameme99: my computer died AGAIN! Getting more files off TheKGBspy. Expect me to start showing you guys when I have them all. (Gotta catch 'em all) The testers will get something to test soon. Happy Birthday to [FW]Wolf who was 18 yesterday! Oh shit! According to Eggman891, the UK got nuked, so 90% of the AR team died...... It's still a spanner though. The legacy never dies! I got this out just before it turned midnight! Late blogs for the lose. <h3>End</h3> That's your lot. Although I may update this later in the week.

Guest Kakashi Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) The soviets won't be able to repair their coils lol . Having to blow up your wall to maintain your defenses is really weird. Well, the walls won't survive long anyway I guess, so... Isle of war looks really promising, I guess you'll be able to enter all those nice little buildings? Snipers on the roof of those will surely be effective.

Guest Rufrky Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Those walls on the inside of the base either need doorways, or they got to go. But DAMN pics and movies like those really make being a C&C fan worth while. I hope the release is soon for the beta. GJ guys.

Guest Allie29 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 MP5 on burst? Seem's a bit odd to me. Aside from that, I didn't notice a huge change in veterancy besides health and armor, maybe a slight damage/rate of fire increase that was almost impossible to see. This planned like that (to avoid being too ueber) or is it just not fine tuned/properly done yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This planned like that (to avoid being too ueber) or is it just not fine tuned/properly done yet? It is hard to notice in the video, but the ROF at elite level is improved quite a bit, and it does more damage per shot at elite. It will in fact become HARDER to get promoted in future, because the upgraded weapons are significantly better. Also, you don't see it in the video as it never reaches Elite, but an Elite Grizzly's weapon is also a significantly higher ROF than normal. EDIT: And yes, everything in that video is for demonstration only, it will probably undergo quite a few balance changes before we release anything, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EVA-251 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Incredible stuff there. I love the sound of the Apocalypse Tank's guns, they sound powerful. The Grizzly Tank looks very, very good, but it needs a different, rougher engine then the Medium Tank's. Also, turning/speed is a little weird looking on it. The only thing I did not like in that blog was the SEAL. He made me weep. He looks really chubby. Lastly, can the Rocketeer stay with that weapon? Please?

Guest Kakashi Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yes, I completely forgot in my post: The soviet base render made me think "now Ra2 finally entered the third dimension.

Guest xnodunitx Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 The soviet base is quite stunning, depicts RA2 buildings exteriors perfectly imo. And I'm glad to hear about Isle of war as well and more things will possibly be shown soon. Sorry to hear about the nuke, guess the sovies thought you allies were getting a bit too dangerous.
