Here is a collection of possible spoiler images I found in the ROTR BIG files. A mystery base defense (or possible superweapon), another component tower addon (artillery, no image), a new vehicle called the TOR-M1, an MAZ Mobile Supply Depot, various new infantry cameos, and possibly something else. All the red starred images in the collage are worth looking at and wondering over.

What do you guys think?

Posted by: KamuiK 7 Nov 2009, 23:51

I know those quite well, also you marked the VDV forces which can already be summoned with the VDV airdrop. The missile base is called Guardian and from the old ROTR which did not feature it in-game (the skin was messed up heavily and likely animations were missing). The artillery component is most probably for Zhukov.

interesting finds i cant use final big because i fail at using it so its interesting to see these things im curios as to what the unit is above the supply truck is.

Posted by: Pickysaurus 8 Nov 2009, 0:46

Very interesting

I would like to see that old defence make a re-appearance of some kind as it looks very cool.

Those Russian infantries look like they are mainly for the experimental weapons general guy

Posted by: Pav3d 8 Nov 2009, 2:33

There's also the blank model of that defense structure cameo in there aswell as a blank (what looks like) a tesla reactor model

Posted by: Kirasama 8 Nov 2009, 2:36

some of the infantry cameos are from the russian paradrop, the one with the BMD(?)

i see a kodiak railgun cameo?

Posted by: KamuiK 8 Nov 2009, 2:39

Blue uniform = VDV infantry, thus Orlov. BMD is right. The railgun upgrade will be for Aleksanders Kodiak tanks.

Posted by: Wi-Ta 8 Nov 2009, 5:20

I was already wondering how long it would take that this would be posted.

Posted by: joshh 8 Nov 2009, 6:08

So then what is the mystery Tor-M1? a new vehicle to be unveiled in 2.0?

Posted by: JJ 8 Nov 2009, 9:16

Quick search brought me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor-M1.

Posted by: D' WRTHBRNGR 8 Nov 2009, 10:55

Being a SAM system, it may replace the Grumble for a certain Russian general...
As for the Mobile Supply Center, does it has the same role as the one by Kassad in ShockWave?

Posted by: Turret89 8 Nov 2009, 12:31

Are all those blue unoform infantry Orlov's?

Posted by: Destiny 8 Nov 2009, 12:35

IDK, it looks like a chem suit upgrade for explosive stuff.

If you people paid attention, you'd see:


The satellite thing you starred is already ingame, and some of the others are just leftovers from previous versions.
I do however know the Maz exists considering I was the one that skinned it.

Posted by: Scope 8 Nov 2009, 14:55

The mobile supply center will likely work like the one in pre-SWR ROTR I'm guessing?

Posted by: Dutchygamer 8 Nov 2009, 15:03

SPAH SAPPIN MAH MOD!

Posted by: KamuiK 8 Nov 2009, 15:15

Posted by: Murray 8 Nov 2009, 15:24

They're not all VDV, some of them are Spetsnatz.

Posted by: KamuiK 8 Nov 2009, 15:34

@Murray: I will just give that comment as much interest as it deserves.

@Topic: I see a new chopper above the Igla trooper.

Posted by: Raven 8 Nov 2009, 16:37

Thats the mi-28 Havoc if i'm not mistaken which was announced in the video updates.

Posted by: Nidmeister 8 Nov 2009, 16:52

In the original 1.0, Russia's economy worked by a mobile supply depot. A large truck would supply smaller pickup trucks, and supplies could be collected from any location on the map as long as you placed your supply truck there with it's smaller trucks to collect the supplies. Something I found to be rather revolutionary at the time.

Blast from the past anyone?

Posted by: Wi-Ta 8 Nov 2009, 17:01

YES
This small forklift were funny and nice to see.

Posted by: KamuiK 8 Nov 2009, 17:04

And the Forklift had such a 'manly' voice

Posted by: Raven 8 Nov 2009, 18:06

ah yes i too remember it . I remember sending the supply truck to the supply crates and then forgetting to spawn forklifts :S

Posted by: Scope 8 Nov 2009, 23:51

I remember that voice

Posted by: Jester 9 Nov 2009, 0:09

OMG something smells awesome BTW has anyone else found some stuff like this if you have plz post it up

Posted by: Destiny 9 Nov 2009, 7:22

FFFFFFUUUU-

Posted by: Casojin 10 Nov 2009, 6:51

Those VDV cameos look nice. There are 7 types from the picture.
2 are from RotR 1.5 (VDV Trooper and RPG Trooper).
2 are easy to guess (VDV with Igla and ATGM).
The other 3 would be VDV Spetsnaz. One with balaclava and vest could be Assault variant while one with yellow sign could be Demolition Expert and the last one with SVU rifle is definately Sniper.

Posted by: Pickysaurus 10 Nov 2009, 14:20

Hmm... if Russian get snipers too, that'd be US, Russia and GLA with snipers. Sucks to be China

Posted by: n5p29 10 Nov 2009, 14:47

about ROTR BIG file mystery, I see many of shockwave cameos were left in the files, and also many blank INI files for ECA units but nothing for GLA except the old stuffs.

Posted by: CNC_Fr3ak 19 Nov 2009, 8:49

What is the PAK-FA?

Posted by: D' WRTHBRNGR 19 Nov 2009, 15:10

It's one of the fighters that will be added in v2.0

Posted by: Raven 19 Nov 2009, 15:25

Its Russia's next gen fighter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_PAK_FA

Apparently russians are struggling to make the prototype fly which is sad

Posted by: KamuiK 19 Nov 2009, 16:20

Also to be precisely, it will replace the Berkut when you play Alexsandr.

Posted by: D' WRTHBRNGR 20 Nov 2009, 5:00

Here's the http://www.moddb.com/mods/rise-of-the-reds/images/russian-pak-fa-fighter#imagebox, JIC you don't know it:

@thread: On the railguns:



...didn't notice it while watching the shellmap in-game until I looked this screenshot carefully...

Posted by: Raven 20 Nov 2009, 5:29

There was a lot of talk about the railgun tank in the shell map back in fallout AFAICR. Its Massey who bought up the topic back then i think. Anyway the tank looks ok.

Posted by: Destiny 20 Nov 2009, 5:38

Though the off-centered barrel makes the design very unconventional...reminds me of the Hammer Tank in RA3.

Posted by: Raven 20 Nov 2009, 6:41

This looks way better than the hammer tank though....

Posted by: Murray 20 Nov 2009, 7:55

Although the design was long before RA3.

The Kodiak (and the railgun variant) was one of the first units to be made.

Posted by: KamuiK 20 Nov 2009, 10:45

Likely based on TW Predator (which is not a bad thing).

Posted by: Murray 20 Nov 2009, 11:08

From what I recall, I believe Freedom made it as a butcher job of about 3 or 4 modern Russian tanks.

Posted by: CNC_Fr3ak 21 Nov 2009, 19:10

Thanks on the info of the PAK-FA! Will it be stealth in-game? Looks like one to me.

Posted by: KamuiK 21 Nov 2009, 19:39

Could be, could not be. I think no info (except the render and it will probably replace the Berkut for Alexsandr) has been released so far.

Posted by: Comr4de 23 Nov 2009, 0:58

You are correct about that good sir.

also, the Kodiak-Railgun tank was created when we first took hold of the project, less than a year before CnC3 and Red Alert 3 came out so it was in no way a copy of the Hammer Tank or the Wraith tank =o

Posted by: ©onscr¡pt 27 Nov 2009, 22:04

Well, I don't see the Railgun tank. Could you mark it? Or is it on the train?

Posted by: Destiny 27 Nov 2009, 22:13

Isn't it just sitting there obvious...?

Posted by: KamuiK 28 Nov 2009, 1:04

Comparrison (sry for the sizes, the 2 different Kodiak types have the same size, as the Railgun is an upgrade to the normal Kodiak):

Posted by: Jester 28 Nov 2009, 16:16

Railgun Kodiak looks fat

Posted by: KamuiK 28 Nov 2009, 16:24

I know, it really is the same size as the normal Kodiak, only other turret

Posted by: ©onscr¡pt 28 Nov 2009, 16:35

Now I see
Looks cool

Posted by: Spooky1992 15 Dec 2009, 3:45

In the pre SWR version of ROTR, there are many cameos, especially infantry cameos, that are in 1.5. Whether or not they are used, it's still interesting to see them as some are same ones that the topic was started on. The file name is 0ROTR from the pre SWR release.
