    War of Rights

    War of Rights is an upcoming FPS set in the American Civil War, utilizing CRYENGINE. From everything I've seen, this game is on par with TW in it's level of awesomeness. Close, anyway ;) There's a Kickstarter and it's on Steam Greenlight. If you think WoR looks good, vote it up on Greenlight...

    Maps/theaters you hope to see

    What maps/theaters are you hoping to see in TW? Me, I'm DYING to see the Belgian, Dutch, and French campaigns of 1940 in an FPS. As far as maps, Stonne is a must, as is Fort Eben-Emael. Ockenburg and/or Valkenburg would be neat, and as a more tank-centered map, Hannut would be amazing.

    Immersion

    Immersion is, of course, hugely important to TW. Players need to feel like they're a member of the Wehrmarcht, defending Fortress Europe against the enemies of the Fatherland. Players need to feel like they're the tip of the Allied spear, pushing through France to free Europe from the chains of...

    Communication

    In a teamwork-based game, communication is key to success. In TW, I see two fundamental ways of communicating to choose from; a more PR-based system, where there's positional VOIP as well as VOIP between squad leaders, between squad members, et cetera, or a more realism-based system, where you...

    Planes in TW

    At the moment, planes are an unknown in TW. Many people, I'm sure, hope to have player-controlled planes at some point; however, I don't think player-controlled planes are a good idea. I think AI-controlled planes are the way to go, and here's why... 1. Immersion. Flying a plane, you feel the...

    Pionier/Sapper implementation

    What's their purpose in a game? I mean there's Merville Battery, where engineers are key as they destroy the Vz 14s... but what about other maps? What's there for them to blow up? Engineers were badly implemented in RO2, where you're usually destroying Czech hedgehogs. Not very rewarding...

    Scopes

    Really, there are two ways of representing scopes. When scoping in Arma 3 for example, your entire screen zooms, where in say PR, just the scope zooms and the rest blurs to simulate the focus of your eyes. The PR system is, of course, more realistic. Will scopes be implemented as such in TW? I...

    Project Reality LAN issue

    So I just gave my mate PR, he installed it, and we tried to play a co-op LAN game via an Ethernet cable connecting our two computers. I created a server and got going. He found the server and joined, but when the loading finished, his PR just closed down. We tried again vice versa, and the same...

    Help for a new computer

    So I have a chance to get stuff shipped to me from the States, and I want to replace my current - crappy - Lenovo. For domestic reasons I need a gaming laptop that's around the $1000 range... any suggestions? I was looking at the ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71, which has great stats for a sweet $1049...

    War wrecks

    In 2012, I lived in Papua New Guinea for a while. PNG has an abundance of war wrecks, and I encountered everything from G4M Betties to the Kokai Maru. I searched for wrecks in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand as well, but found close to none. A few of these photos I took in...
