They have a forum. Look at it and all its forum-y Glory.

[Ozyton]

Sweet, first post updated =)

[Ozyton]

Pre-alpha 0.11 is here, let's check it out =)

Spoiler: changes (click to show/hide)

Here's the change log as requested, in no particular order:
- AI attackers actually stay to defend a previously occupied base, if needed
- fixed shooting through wall if crouching close to a wall
- sandbag / trench wall height reduced, enabling better shooting over the wall
- enabling climb over only with wall-like structures, trenches, sandbag walls, fences
- soldier is no longer rewarded for killing fellow soldiers with grenades, rather there's a penalty
- soldier is no longer rewarded for shooting corpses or throwing grenades at corpses
- added the throw grenade -button in the readme
- player respawn location check improved, should no more respawn in places with enemies
- mouse sensitivity scale increased
- reduced point gain for using grenades to kill enemies
- player weapon mag is now full after respawn
- crosshair center visual and obstruction marker for line of sight aid
- reduced fog slightly
- reduced AI initial rank scale
- reduced AI willingness to change team
- reduced max distance to throw grenade
- reduced grenade kill range
- moving uphill is now slightly slower
- corpses behave better now, less jumping around
- improved going alert when a grenade is thrown
- smoothened the heightmap a little bit, should reduce bumpiness that also obstructs bullets for no purpose
- config: changed how antialias is handled, makes us of graphics card capabilities now
- added fallback techniques for graphics cards without vertex programs, not tested
- fixed map view block aspect ratio
- map view coloring changed slightly
- team member following improved; members in front don't run straight up to the leader if leader is anyway coming their way
- base definitions un-hardcoded; map modding basically now possible by modifying objects.svg, terrain5_*.png and worldcolor.png..
- AI trench steering improved, still some issues there
- double step sound is now heard when soldier touches ground after jumping
- dead soldiers generated by not-nearby block battles are now cleaned up -- should fix "character pool size" errors
- game saving no longer stores dead soldiers
- UPDATE: Center trench -base added

Spoiler: Changes (click to show/hide)

Changes in 0.2:
- aim target on ground increased, to make bullets fly farther to hit enemies behind the crosshair better
- M240 machine gun, shoots either on prone or if there's a wall/crate of suitable height, either from standing or crouch, limited turning range
- AI pushes reinforcements constantly towards attack target if situation in attack target is tight -- helps with winning areas alone while one enemy is somewhere hard to find
- AI trench steering improved, less aimless spinning
- color model revamped; terrain is also shaded by height relative to player soldier position (requires vertex program support in graphics card); different fog
- run animation made more bouncy, varied animation speed
- HK MP5 SD -like suppressed submachine gun
- improved AI for nearby alerts; AI now "sees" the gun muzzle at night, so shooting draws fire from the enemy for some time unless suppressed smg is used
- when a battle starts, the AI on the team not-firing-first suffers a random reaction time penalty
- AI reacts to suppressive fire by staying in cover more
- AI uses knife
- added ability to change weapon by picking up a new one
- crates sometimes pop out weapons when smashed
- added option for number of initial occupied bases on player's team when creating a new game
- added controls for managing team members amount: page down/page up
- soldier amount model tweaked -- the less occupied areas you have, the more soldiers you get per area -- the more occupied areas you have, the less soldiers you get per area -- let's see how it works
- AI leader selection tweaked; attacking team (including player's) should be more interesting to join to in AI's choices
- loading a previously saved game near map boundaries should work better now
- the Town became bigger, and got divided into east and west sides
- Hotel base added

Time to try this out. M240? Hell yes.

i like the game but wish there was a map to look at.

lol, thanks. somehow i missed that

[Ozyton]

There was an update today

Spoiler: update (click to show/hide)

And here are the changes, more or less:
- prone key added, usable for any weapon
- firing behind wall works now for assault rifles in similar way as machine gun, i.e., if shot while crouching, the soldier automatically stands up if it's required to stand up to shoot over wall -- with assault weapons, you can also move near the wall
- fixed facing direction bugs with crouching against wall
- carrķed weapon types are now saved
- increased probability to get an m240 or mp5sd from crates, also on respawn
- fixed a bug with saving if dead
- fixed a "virtualize character" crash when respawning -- there's hoping that's the last one, but let me know if you still get these crashes!
- bullet billboards are now properly removed
- weapon specifications are now public -- weapon type amount is not dynamic though, must be 4
- dynamic ambient occlusion, initial coarse version
- AI accuracy options
- shooting off-target now has random height, helps in shooting soldiers behind target both standing and in prone
- added small decorative rocks near big rocks
- added a few soldier max count options -- more accurate control will be provided as soon as the slider UI control gets simplemented
- added some new building textures, affecting Hospital
- added building texture and color controlling from objects.svg
- killed soldiers drop 50% of their grenades on ground now, which are collectable
- victory over the last base is declared only after the base center and its surroundings have been wiped from any enemies
- reduced max amount of grenades on carry to 4
- added walls and boxes around Hotel
- added security fence sounds
- added map observation mode for map modders: launch it by giving parameter "map" on command line, e.g. "rwr_game.exe map" (ASDW to move around, left shift for faster movement)
- changed team names to Green and Grey
- made the fake ground ao effect on tree trunks bigger

Issues:
- ambient occlusion effect produces artifacts on ground occasionally
- turn off post processing and/or shadows if you experience low framerates
- ambient occlusion will work only if your graphics card has shader model 2.0 support
- corpses are again more jumpy than before, changes made in character implementation for online support must have affected that

[Ozyton]

Apparently there's multiplayer now, however you have to actually pre-order the game before you're allowed to play online. You can still get the free version, but multiplayer will be disabled.

My father used to play Cannon Fodder when I was 1 or 2 years old.
Then, someday I asked him to show me some Amiga games in an emulator, he showed this one, and I felt nostalgia. And I was just 16, lol.

Anyways, this looks nice, I will download the free version..and if it's really awesome I'd totally buy it.

[Thendash]

I'd just like to mention that RWR is now in version 0.59. Along with the original map there's now a more urban based map with beach/docks as well as a new weapon, the shotgun. Depending on when you last played there is also off-map mortars that you earn rounds for every few kills (5 or something I think).

[Ozyton]

You earn mortar strikes at 3000 points and every 500 points afterwards, I think.

I did pick this game up finally (as in, bought it, I only had the demo before), but haven't gotten to try any multiplayer yet.

[Orb]

Quick question: Does this have Lan?

[Thendash]

You can host servers and connect via ip, so you could probably use hamachi but no, there's no dedicated lan option that I'm aware of.

[Aklyon]

This is neat.
