Ahoy all Rise of the reds Fans!
After almost a year of inactivity we are finally back in action and have a new home.
We have not been resting on our laurels all this time - in fact we've been working hard to deliver you a completly new and, in our eyes, better mod than you have seen previously.
In our new ROTR we have started almost again from scratch and we are currently in the process of reskinning and remaking all old models to a new, improved standard.
Another plan we have is to scrap and replace the old Zero Hour Generals with ALL NEW ones. The new Generals selection system will work as follows:
First you select your side: Russia, USA, China or GLA. Then once you are in game you will be prompted as to which general you wish to play, who you will then select at the Command Center. :)
There will be 3 Generals per faction, making for a total of 12 playable Generals - each with his own unique strengths and weaknesses. We have decided to base ROTR solely around these Generals so there will be no "vanilla" or parent factions in the traditional sense.
The Generals for each side are as follows:
USA
-Airforce
-Special Forces
-Tank
China
-Red Army
-Special Weapons
-Secret Police
GLA
-Bio Command
-Terror Cell
-Warlord
Russia
-Rapid Deployment
-Advanced Weapons
-Tactical Ballistics
More detailed information regarding these new Generals will be revealed later. ;)
Now on to the stuff people love most.... Unit renders!
To start things off, we are celebrating the good news by taking the wraps off of two Russian units. First up is Sentinel heavy tank.
Many complained in the first ROTR release that the Sentinel functioned like a Chinese Overlord. Never one to be satisfied with the second rate, our talented concept artist C0MRADE went straight to the drawing board in an undisclosed, dimly lit basement 60ft below the streets of Moscow and drew up the plans. Forty sketchpads later the monster tank above was the result.
The Sentinel is a tank to not be trifled with. Its 220mm main cannon can destroy light armour and smaller tanks like Scorpions in a single shot. Rumour has it that this beast's bark is deafening to human ears.
Secondly we have the new primary/basic artillery peice for the Russian Generals, the MSTA-S.
The MSTA-S has a long range 152mm cannon which can be armed with standard high-explosive (HE) shells. It can also be upgraded to fire Krasnopol laser-guided missiles, which, unlike the HE shells, are deadly accurate.
Well that's all for today - I hope you enjoyed our update. Stay tuned for more ROTR news soon. :)
