This is good...

But they need to do another "The Ship" free trial.

Why not play both?


Anyway, the trial is live, along with a new map and lots of new stuff!

More detail on the new and updated features:
*New map - "Krivoi Rog". This is set on the plains of the southern Ukraine in late 1943 and allows the German Tiger tank to show at its very best, matching its firepower against the speed and agility of the Russian T-34. This map also puts the new long view distances and higher player numbers to good use - giving massed tank engagements over an unprecedented 24 square kilometers of play area with a view distance of 3,000 meters.
*New vehicle - the mid-war German Panzer IVG. This one bridges the gap between the under-powered early-war German tanks and the very powerful later-war machines.
*Graphical enhancements - The game now features an all new adaptive bloom system that aside from looking amazing (even at low resolutions) also simulates the effect of the eye adjusting when looking at bright areas. We have even added the in-game anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering settings for even more eye-candy.
*New vehicle features including a manual tank shell reloading option and a dynamic camera movement system for when driving or riding in vehicles.
New system for locational and damage type specific pain and death sounds. For example, head shots will result in a quieter death sound, shots to the lower torso will result in a loud screaming death sound.
*Many new server admin requested options and features include forced team balance, banning by ROID and improved Idle Kick.
*As always, there is a long list of other new and updated features, plus bug fixes – see the full changelog on the forums HERE!

Yea.. that 3km view sounds sweet.. the engine RO plays on only supports half projectile speed (on tank ballistics), so we might see some intresting tank battles.. avoiding shells by hitting the breaks..

The Ship is great (going in the shower and then getting blatted by an Axe was a highlight for me) but it was horribly laggy on every server I tried.

As for the new RO map - only "Those aren't pixels... they're TANKS!" can describe it.

I suggest you run at a better Resolution FF

[Zrix]

And use your binocs.

I loved that game, never bought it but the demo was awesome, its so satisfying to walk down an empty hallway, spin around, only to see your murderer pull out a gun, and charge him with a razor blade.

aw man i always wanted to give the ship a try. is the demo still around?

we should get together for some nights to play RO, I don't feel like I'm really that great at it, but damn it's loads of fun!!

This being a trial, does that mean that after September 3rd, the game will stop working?
