Hey guys!,

No we're not dead sad to dissapoint you if you had hoped so
Progress isn't very fast right now but it's still going we just don't realy have a whole lot on pictures to show off right now but things are defently moving in a good dirrection.
Other than that i have not much to report on the development right now altho i can share a few things with you now you might all like

First of a nice render of a model update on the Siege Cannon:



Also i cannot confirm when exactly but since alot of you had been asking i can defently say to you all that the final version of shockwave will be availible to all of you before christmas this year.
I know that aint much but that's all i can give you right now.

See you all soon!

Well, it looks nicer than the railgun artillery.

Also, Will the railgun artillery have a secondary ability to arc it's shots to cover hills?

Now that thing looks positively sweet - very much like the compact, quick assault siege weapon it is .

Very nice

Awesome, I can't wait for it.

Well, only 2 months anyway.

The new model's great, albeit the star in the turret is somewhat grainy. I expect the best for the ShockWave final

Did production for this mod slow to a crawl due to manpower or something else? Care to share Hunter? I know at some point the team started putting a lot of love into RotR, but I'm curious as to what has been going on.

Posted by: KamuiK 15 Sep 2010, 10:34

To be blunt I'd so expect that unit in ROTR.
Edit - on second thought, the skin around the red star looks slightly distorted. And besides, would you show us the upgraded version too?

Brilliant unit, IPS, and great news, Hunter.

I will be awaiting the release with my usual exuberance.

Posted by: n5p29 15 Sep 2010, 12:59

good to hear news that the final version release time have been announced.
and for the model, it looks really good. but that model seems have a quite high poly count.
also kinda agree with KamuiK, the curvy model looks more fits in RotR. d:

Excellent work IPS

Posted by: Destiny 15 Sep 2010, 14:04

Wow, that thing looks mean...enough to replace the Battlemaster

Posted by: ΓΛPΤΘΓ 15 Sep 2010, 17:37

For some reason, it reminds me of the M26 Pershing...

Posted by: Amdrial 15 Sep 2010, 19:16

Like Destiny said, the tank reminds me more of an MBT rather than an artillery piece, just like the new USA Laser General's Railgun vehicle. It's probably just my sense of taste though.

Posted by: Dutchygamer 15 Sep 2010, 20:31

For those who say it looks like the Railgun tank: don't forget this is an arty, so it will pitch its barrel upwards
Anyways, epic work guys

Posted by: Chyros 15 Sep 2010, 22:58

Many modern self-propelled howitzers look like MBTs nowadays .

Posted by: Aaron 15 Sep 2010, 23:37

Intresting >_>

Posted by: Negative Zero 16 Sep 2010, 6:35

Look's like it's full steam ahead now.

Posted by: Anubis 16 Sep 2010, 11:30

Well at least china is a favorite ( unlike USA ). This unit looks awsome. Much much better than the old one.

Posted by: Pal 16 Sep 2010, 16:09

Before Christmas? Now THAT IS COOL!

Posted by: MR.Kim 16 Sep 2010, 18:50

It's only 3 mothns and not big deal.

Posted by: Pal 17 Sep 2010, 14:41

I know it's not a big deal but I am surprised that it's gonna be released before Christmas...

Posted by: dangerman1337 18 Sep 2010, 18:26

Great design but the star looks a bit blury TBH.

Posted by: ed3891 26 Sep 2010, 21:08

Like anyone is really going to notice how blurry the star is or isn't in the heat of a game.

Posted by: The Twilight 27 Sep 2010, 16:39

This. Makes me very happy. Also playing this on new computer will feel good
