It's a full, standalone game.

Why is this being released when some of the bots aren't even complete yet?

Haha, that list is hilariously outdated as you can probably imagine. Gone now. :)

I'm tempted to record my first thoughts along with my reactions to promote/review this. Wow. That admittedly sounds corny typing the mere thought of it.

Then again, if you don't really mind at all, I COULD do that.

So for the final day you should just have a picture saying activate with the download link?

cephalopod · « **Reply #2146 on:** September 16, 2015, 03:30:24 PM »

Installer is a 1gb download, and the game itself is 3gb, so my 4gb estimate was spot on

Sircreepalot2 · « **Reply #2147 on:** September 16, 2015, 03:37:00 PM »

thats like 10x the original game.

GG RWRA2. GG

Honestly my hype for this game is unreal... Just knowing the download size is that big just shows how much work has gone into this mod and probs the greatest mod i will ever get to play so thankyou once again for not giving up and making this happen. Woop woop let the hype begin!

TommyProductionsInc · « **Reply #2149 on:** September 16, 2015, 05:30:44 PM »

My body and my computers are ready.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #2150 on:** September 16, 2015, 05:46:56 PM »

Will we need to download RA2 separately or will this mod come pre-installed with the game?

I have to say lads, it's been a brilliant journey getting to know the gametechmods community again after a decade and finally delivering something for you all to have and enjoy.

To think Wham started this back in 2013, having no idea what it would turn into when everything was passed down to me in 2014 to join my work at the time. We joined the Official Robot Wars brand, that changed a lot for us, in quite a few ways it meant we couldn't do what we wanted to do... But in another it opened things up a hell of a lot more, getting roboteers from across the globe contributing. 2015 was a slow start but with new methods learned and new techniques developed, we managed to bring more to the mod than previously. Now we're almost there and despite a few niggles here and there and wishing we had more time before the deadline... (That's right, the release date was planned for quite a while haha) but we've made it to the end of what is only the beginning.

Don't forget we are releasing expansions and updates for this over time so head over to Facebook and like our page, all the future releases will be coming from there! And be sure to spread the word.

All the best,
Adam

Thanks a lot for all the hard work you and the staff put in for us.

You might want to change the link in your sig if it'll be coming from facebook

After this you're next goal should be to release on consoles.

But jokes aside I'm looking to this weekend with the mod and TGS 2015 news.

RedAce · « **Reply #2155 on:** September 16, 2015, 08:06:04 PM »

Alright, since it's almost here, I'll just say this spiel now. For about 2 years, (1 year and 11 months if we're being picky) I didn't know what to think of how this mod would come to be. I thought this would be an expansion of already existing Robot Wars mods with an coat of High Definition paint. As development went on, I was heavily disproved. Throughout the time, I started to grow fond of this mod and follow it pretty closely which made me look differently at RA2 and Robot wars as a whole. Who knows? maybe it'll spread like wildfire and bring even bigger life for the RA2 and Robot Wars community to those not even that familiar with this mod or the previously mentioned communities in general like say: Project M. I know that is incredibly wishful thinking, but hey, it deserves to be that way as this has been a mod that has taken all the time it has needed. I also have to admit, I kinda wish I could've helped with the development team in some way other than being supportive. It makes me feel heartbroken that I couldn't have helped with development.

But all that aside, Robot Wars RA2 Development Team, I salute you and thanks for your hard work and contribution.

Reading this has actually made me very emotional. I've been waiting for the next big breakthrough in RA2 for qutie some time, and this is the first TRUE TC mod since DSL 2.1 - DSL3, Ironforge, JoeBlo's old project... all very valiant attempts, and bloody good fun to play, but not a true TC mod that makes the game feel fresh again. This is the first big breakthrough in close to 12 years, and this game and community thoroughlyy deserve it.

I look forward to rekindling the weeks I spent messing around wtih the replicas, like how I did when I first found out about DSL 2.1 - every single person who worked on this mod, I salute you. You've done the GTM community a great service, and I'm honoured to have stayed around long enough to see this come to fruition. I personally have been waiting for this day for nearly 4 years, and I know some people have been waiting much, much longer. Here's hoping it'll spike the popularity of RA2 similar to how DSL did when it released.

I know NerdCubed would be very interested in playing this mod, but sadly I'm unable to get in contact with him. Getting NerdCubed to review and play through this would generate a massive spike in traffic, and is needed. Somebody, contact him, tell him a true Robot Wars experience is here.

Heretic, Craaig, Dalek and the others... God bless you. You've worked you deserve every word of praise you get from this. If you ever come down to Bradford, I'll buy you a pint.
