HARRRR!!! Finally something exciting in this part of the forum, that I used to visit a lot back in the old days... :arrgh!: Greetz to all the DW veterans...

To answer the obvious, the new subforum is in Sonalysts Combat Sims section of the forum, so *obviously* it *is* a game by Sonalysts...

Now... the question is.... whether it is an entirely new game or something else? When DW was announced, it was long before the actual release of the game. There was substantial beta test phase with some guys from this forum participating in it (I was one of the betas too). There were screenshots, hype building and all that...

Here we have a very modest "tease", plus, what bothers me is that one of the placeholder posts is about "download and FAQ". You don't post about "download" if the game is many months from being finished. On the other hand, you don't finish a game like DW overnight, without posting announcements, screenshots etc months in advance.

Sadly, I think this is not a new game from Sonalysts :shifty:

What I think this is.... is that someone in Sonalysts took those opposing force mods or something like that, and made them official.

So, my bet is that in couple days/weeks we will see announcement about some sort of opfor DLC expansion pack, quite possibly being sold exclusively via Subsim.

That's my guess. And that makes me only moderately happy to be honest.

I still hope I am wrong and there is indeed a brand new game from SCS!!! (please god let it be a new game please....)

That would actually be pretty awesome... an official opfor pack or something along those lines. Especially considering any new game will be riddled with bugs and might take years after release to be presentable.

To be honest...I do not really understand this cat&mouse game...it sounds similar like the announcement of new Apple products, which I do not like.

Okay so who's gonna make subtitles for Hitler video where he demands a NEW game and clarification of all this mystery NOW? :har:

That would be funny. :)

A new game would be great. I also think a DW expansion would be nice. I just wish we could find out what is going to be in that placeholder.

I'm totally with you on this. It would be awesome.

Like Counter-Strike and Half Life. :up:

What opposing force mods?

Well because of this hyping i have a feeling peoples expectations are blown out of proportion for some reason. Will see said the zen master.

We could at least get a date! It's the "Coming soon" that's getting to me.

I am not sure if we are allowed to dicsuss this here.... but there were at least two mods adding new playable platforms to DW, mostly "opposing force" ie Russian and Chinese subs and surface ships. Mods seemed fairly well done although I didn't try them because they were too poorly documented and confusing for my taste.

Now, there may be possibility Sonalysts is offering their own, official version of mod or expansion pack with some new playable platforms.

IMO that would be moderately nice but meh... what this community really needs is a brand new game, DW2! :rock:

^^ Agree on the last part, thx for the info!

whatever it is, it is nice to know that something is there!

If its just an addon with more playable platform i would rather have the modders do it. I mean if they add more platform to DW it would be like releasing more playable platforms for 688i hunter/killer. I mean DW is nice but releasing an addon for an allready aged sim with aged grafics would be beyond my comprehension and i rather download them from some good modders then to pay for it. And lets face it there allready are more playable platforms for DW from the community! Would you pay for an addon for DW ? I sure wouldt.

If they release an SDK to do that, I would hop on board. :up:
