thats whats i meant

The MP41 and MP44 seem like different models of existing weapons...

 

[smokeythebear]

MP41 is lighter and has less recoil, a better and more accurate version of the mp40.

Havnt had a chance yet to try out the m44, but im pretty sure its the soviet late war rifle. anyway this is good news for me and all the other RO fans

Hopefully the map load times fix is true. >.>

Well lets see......if you have come to this site alot, as your 4 post count dictates, then you would know we like to inform the viewers of other things besides half life 2....for example the Sin Episodes, HL 1 content....etc....Steam games in general usually make the list.....:|

It seems they fixed it.
Valve also did their part, there is a beta-version available for players who had problems with loading times. First reports say it has been succesfull (from 3-4 minutes to 30 seconds now)
A very good release so far, tankwarfare feels very gritty now.

I'd rather have more HL2 related items instead of a copy from Steam news. It just irks me.

Then don't look at it...

No one is forcing you to read the news, its good for people that don't want to go to SP site.

This is one hell of a good patch. Increases performance and everything seems more stable. This alone helped the loading times, so I haven't tried that Valve/Steam fix yet, tho I have read that it does help alot.

Other than that Arad looks absolutely amazing now, and it even runs better than before.
I haven't tried the new weapons yet, but hopefully that will chance soon :> .

Hopefully next patch will have few new maps with it.
