Last week Yoshiro mentioned that he was going to be at GamesCon this week and wouldn’t have a chance to post another media update. The guys over at Antimatter Games put together another webm for you to demonstrate the RPG-7’s backblast. Anyway. The effects shown are WIP.
The backblast from the RPG can be very lethal due to the gases and the concussive force involved with sending a 2.6kg rocket flying through the air at 110 meters per second, almost instantly. That cannon like force is projected out the back end of the RPG’s barrel and will affect other players up to 7 meters away.
Another point of this video is to demonstrate the continuation of the gore and dismemberment system form the Red Orchestra series. You can also note the sawn-off variation of the IZH-43 and the change of elevation on the RPG-7’s rear sight.
The level shown in this week’s media update (and last weeks) has a name. Song Be River, named after the Song Be river found in South Vietnam.
As a reminder, we will be doing a streaming panel at PAX West - so make sure to follow us to keep up with the latest news!

We have a closed beta sign up form that has slowly been working its way around. We still do not have an official start date for the closed beta but we will keep everyone updated on when this will happen. We will be inviting a limited number of people, but we will have several phases and multiple ways to get a key as we ramp up towards the final release of the game.
