SWR Productions Forum _ Frontline News _ ROTR Wins 2nd Place players choice award on ModDB

Posted by: The_Hunter 30 Dec 2015, 11:59




Yesterday the winners of the players choice awards were announced and to our pleasant surprise we ended up being second place in this award!
I would like to personally thank everyone who voted for us and made it possible for us to win this award.

This wouldn't have been possible without you guys and we are grateful for everyone sticking with us and your continued support in this project.
It motivates us greatly seeing that so many people still enjoy this decade old game with our additions and you can expect more from us in future!

As a special thanks for all your support we're giving you all an early look at something you can expect in ROTR 2.0:


This is the Black Bear Sentinel which will be available to Russia at Rank 5 as a power that will unlock a single Black bear Sentinel for construction along with some other benefits.
More details on this will become available in the future.

Additionally we've prepared a cool wallpaper of the Black Bear Sentinel for you all to use:

Once again thanks everyone for your continued support and we wish you all a good transition into the new year!

Congrats,it is deserved.I am pretty sure now that you'll win it at some point.

Render...I am so conflicted about it.I love how this Sentinel looks,it is like something real Russian would make,
but then giving Russia something which is basically Manticore equivalent takes some uniqueness from ECAs rank five GP.

That's one badass sentinel biggrin.gif, so its a hero-type unit like the ECA protocol units and can it defeat a Manticore 1v1? Also congratulations on the reward as hopefully RotR will get to the top position next year, hopefully (not pressure btw!) that a 2.0 release next year will do the job.

Posted by: SiR Chaff 30 Dec 2015, 13:18

I came back here after I saw ROTR placed 2nd for MOTY 2015 tongue.gif

Congrats SWR, you definitely deserved that spot happy.gif

As for the Black Bear Sentinel, I have the same opinion as with re_simeone. But still, awesome render is awesome.

Every Russia players' dream of an OP Sentinel that can wipe the floor against hundreds of hoppers (maybe not?) has come true.

Inb4, it can fly/float on water. biggrin.gif

Posted by: TimeBurner 30 Dec 2015, 13:37

Congratulations to SWR team for this glorious achievement!

On the new black bear, same thoughts with re simeone. It's not what I expected it to be,TBH. I thought of it to be a unique new tank and not just a sentinel with new added aesthetics which seems to be irrelevant,except for the smokes XD. I was really hoping to see a new tank with a new set of armaments and main gun. A rail gun,to be exact,that's what I have pictured.

Again,congratulations! The entire community and I is very thankful for this several years of glorious progress and amusement!

The fact that it looks like an overupgraded Sentinel makes it different from the Manticore, which is clearly a prototype with an unique look. Manticore is still unique, even if this beast will be able to 1vs1 it. Besides, ECA has 2 more protocols to choose while Russia will only have the Black Bear.

Congratulations on 2nd place.

So while Zhukov got his nukes, another general get to call this monster to fight for him? That's absolutely awesome!

We have discussions about a rank 5 Blackbeard Sentinel before, but never expected it to become reality. Now it does.


Posted by: Die Hindenburg 30 Dec 2015, 14:36

Looks indead sexy, but a bit lazy as concept. I mean its very much a manticore with diferent secondaries functions tongue.gif
The gun is pretty to look with that comical style powress. biggrin.gif

Congratulations to the whole SWR-team! This year you have outdone yourself. Again awbot.gif .

About that new monster-tank: First impression: OP as hell (arena + shtora, AA missiles, additional mine plow below its hull (sign of mine immunity) ). A fearsome appearance.

Oh, and I always wanted to know, what kind of power unit Sentinel operates on. A new super-secret kind of fuel? Prototype nuclear engine? Some sort of high-capacity accumulator battery like in tesla coils?
Twin Ion Engine? serious.gif Or, maybe, Power of the Motherland? duhsov.png

Posted by: DerKrieger 30 Dec 2015, 16:42

The new tank looks amazing, and congratulations to the 2nd place on ModDB!

Posted by: __CrUsHeR 30 Dec 2015, 17:02

Congratz for the 2nd place on ModDB! (and by not letting the C&C never die). wink.gif

I always knew the potential that this idea had, so I feel very pleased that this will now become a reality. Thanks again The_Hunter for it!

P.s: Hopefully dropped via "Super Hind" will be cool. smile.gif

As it was stated, Black Bear is not the only benefit this GP will come with. And it'll be pure awesomium for Russia players.

Posted by: Mr.Kim 30 Dec 2015, 19:57

So much Bear names with Russian Units. Including Kodiak, Mishka, Grizzly, and Black Bear.

I wonder what its voiceover will be like (I guess it will not share it with Sentinel): an even more growling mad bear now with a voice of some death metal rock band (basically Sentinel x2) or, finally, something what intimidates by being cold-blooded and professional "master of destruction" rather than by being an aggressive supremacist. If I remember the lore correctly, Black Bears were a group of the most professional pilots 8llaniflip.gif

I assume armored reserves GP will be reworked yet again.Three ranks power ?

"ONE HUNDRED TONS OF RUSSIAN ENGINEERING!"

Well, there was a movie featuring Arnie as a Russian biggrin.gif

Posted by: X1Destroy 30 Dec 2015, 20:43

More like 200 or even 300 tons, cause the average Sentinel is already heavier than a Manticore.

Also for those interested here is a comparison shot of the stock Sentinel next to the Black Bear

For those who love this awesome tank:



Yoohoo!

Posted by: Mr.Kim 30 Dec 2015, 22:25

So here is my analyzed about Black Bear Sentinel.

-Fully Upgrades Equipment: Arena Upgrade and WMP Upgrade. Except, ERA Upgrade.

- Add Features & Abilities: Shtora-2 Active Protection System, Smoke Grenade Launcher, New Main Cannon, new tank blade in the middle, new type name "I-8", and same or similar color as Kodiak Tank.

- Damage & Health: Probably same or similar as normal Sentinel.

- Cost & Production: Classified.

Posted by: GDIZOCOM 30 Dec 2015, 22:53

Awesome design as always.

It reminds me now, wasn't the Black Bear mentioned within a previous update a long while back? I think it mentioned certain tank crews getting an upped version of the Sentinel spotted by other forces as they had the field experience to do so.

Posted by: DELETED MEMBER 31 Dec 2015, 1:39

Mikhail! Mikhail! i had awesome idea
What it is Vladimir?
What if we put everything on sentinel?!!!!1111oneoneeleven
Is not of enough space Vladimir

Well, shit.

Posted by: X1Destroy 31 Dec 2015, 15:25

Tesla tech as of now is pretty crap anyway. It have much more disadvantages than what it can do.

I'm more interest in the Bunker and Artillery towers in 2.0

Not really a new feature, the Sentinel already has this.

Posted by: Dangerman 31 Dec 2015, 19:40

Just wondering, will Aleksandr be able to get the Black Bear Sentinel?

Posted by: Damfoos 31 Dec 2015, 20:04

Yes, it is going to be available for everyone.

What is with people judging OPness by a picture? Is it too awesome for their eyes?

Because game balance is important and people dont like being on the receiving end of something thats broken.
Still, many precautions will be taken with this unit to make it work, so i think we'll be fine smile.gif

Posted by: SoraZ 1 Jan 2016, 3:42

It's only one tank. Yes it can probably beat a Manticore in a 1v1 fight but it's unlikely it would be much more powerful than that.

If micromanaged maybe, but Manticore itself is very powerful and its recovery rate is something incredible.

Posted by: Generalcamo 1 Jan 2016, 4:41

Well remember the manticore's primary role is to be a frontline support unit to your tanks. It isn't meant to be a frontline unit in itself.

Posted by: Die Hindenburg 1 Jan 2016, 5:55

Congratulations btw. biggrin.gif
With ONE, literally, as in one per game or the normal build limit?

Exact same logic as a hero like Burton or Lotus, because thats what this is. A vehicular hero

Posted by: Mr.Kim 1 Jan 2016, 21:05

Or more like Heavy Support Tank unit instead heroic unit.

Posted by: Neutrino 2 Jan 2016, 9:31

Congratulations!
It's no surprise that this mod reached 2nd, it is a combination of devotion and creativity.

Btw, I miss the old updates that used to come with stories sad.gif

Stop whining and enjoy this amazing 2.0 content! Gosh I am looking forward to 2.0. Keep up the world-class work!!! wub.gif

Posted by: Minato Arisato 4 Jan 2016, 14:46

Holy Makarov, that's not a tank, it's a monster!! 8Isov.gif (Well, so is the ECA Manticore, but at least we can have Godzilla vs Ghidorah now, or was it Godzilla vs Pulgasari?)

If it's got Shtora, Warden Missile Pods, Arena Defense System, Explosive Reactive Armour, and a possible main gun upgrade, I bet even Aleksandr, who uses the Golem instead of the Sentinel, would love to field one.

But more importantly, congratulations for Rise of the Reds being 2nd place, truly the game Command and Conquer 2013 wished it could be, instead of being canned and axed. Keep up the good work. wink.gif

Posted by: PiratesYarrr 29 Jan 2016, 15:20

Congrats on the award, mod term deserve it. This build has been the best and most enjoyable I have played. I haven't read the changelog so on specifics I can't comment, but the balance seems spot on for me, and each faction feels distinct to me now.

Plus, I cannot get enough of the russian silo's <3


Posted by: kwendy 14 Mar 2016, 15:55

I am more of a MBT man, but still neat.
Also it's bothering me a little: Russia isn't really into animalistic naming of ground armour. So the name implies there is division named "Black Bear".
Naming sence is interesting tradition, like most of russian arillery named after flowers.

Posted by: Arc 15 Mar 2016, 7:02

^ In the lore, "Black Bear" is the name of a legendary Sentinel crew which had gotten a modified prototype sentinel, if I recall correctly.
