Great heads up, thanks!

I want it now !!

I just fired RO this morning for the first time in months.

Nice. 

RO2 is one of the very few FPSes I still consider playing.

It's the first shooter that I 'got in to'. There were enough playing it this morning for several full MP games.

Oooooh....I love Vietnam games. Lets hope this turns out a good yin. The one(s?) I have is too old now

[RooksBailey]

Eh, I am not really into Vietnam for a gameplay setting.  Even the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam expansion didn't do much for me.  I would rather had them stay in WWII, or give us a WWIII in Europe setting circa 1985.

Still, RO2 is one of the best shooters I ever played, so I will support Tripwire with a purchase.

I'm curious how they do the helos, are we flying them ?  Would be cool if we can, that cobra looks cool.  I hope they are not AI only.  I'm sure this will make it into my steam library regardless.

Similar to artillery/air support in RO2, perhaps?

I wonder if they'll model an Radio-Telephone Operators, and force Squad Leaders to be near the RTO in order to call in air strikes.

RO2 did the jungles and booby traps well.  Vietname would be a no brainer.

So this is not "In Country" who dumped the Tripwire engine for Unreal Engine.

Nah, not related.

By all accounts Rising Storm delivers on the "asymmetric" combat, so this iteration should work well.

You guys are right.  It's probably not much of a setting leap from Rising Storm.  They already have a jungle setting.. just a matter of adding some new stuff.

I should go revisit RO2 & Rising Storm, but I often say that for dozens of games I've enjoyed.  Last I checked, my Steam library contained hundreds of games, at least 1/3rd of which I've not even played yet.  Then there's a very long list of GOG, GG, Desura, and others.  I'm buried, keep buying more on sales, and will never catch up at the current rate. 

But I'll be damned if I don't pick up RO Vietnam.  >:D

Sooooo

When is Rising Storm 2: Vietnam supposed to be released? 


Looks like some closed beta footage is being allowed, so it must not be too far off...

These maps look like some amazing fun.
