St Agro is staying as DLC.

I'm not sure that was what he was asking but whatever;
What's gonna happen with Gravity?

The way you're all talking would suggest you'd prefer an old machine to a new one. Really? They're very similar apart from appearance...
I think Hades is cool as hell.

U think they're trying to figure out if it's some copyright issue or reason causing Gravity to have to come out, or if Hades is a new addition just for the sake of having it.

I like both as much as each other.

Well, Robot Wars was a huge part of my childhood, and I think that's true with many people here. If I were offered the choice between Gravity (which I have good memories of) and Hades (which I have only just seen) I would pick Gravity, no question.
It's not that I would prefer to have a less powerful/less advanced robot, it's that I would prefer a robot I remembered fondly, and is like a part of my childhood, for lack of better words.
But obviously that decision is not up to me, and I understand why not all of the old robots can be included, and that's fine. I love the new robots as well as the old ones, Dystopia is one of my favourite robots alongside Chaos 2, for example. But I also understand why people would be unhappy that the robots they remember won't be present.

If Gravity 3 is released, it will likely be in the expansion.
We're sorting team lists as we speak and it's likely the first release will contain around 30 (!) teams of 3 robots both new and old (team number subject to change on circumstances, obviously). Many old favourites will be there, and maybe some cool robots you guys haven't paid enough attention to too. :P

This. I'm just gonna leave it at that. Also, nice pun.

How many bots will be DLC?

cephalopod · « **Reply #1928 on:** May 24, 2015, 09:46:16 AM »

At this point nothing is certain as to the number in it, but it's looking tentatively like at least another 10 teams.

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #1929 on:** May 24, 2015, 11:04:16 AM »

What's the problem with including both?

Please. Stop. Asking.
We gave an answer, and even some new information. We're working REALLY hard to get this out AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and comments moaning about the contents of a mod you get for free despite all the effort going in is not helping work ethic.

Ok, sorry.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #1932 on:** May 24, 2015, 11:15:36 AM »

Is the "DLC" going to be free?

cephalopod · « **Reply #1933 on:** May 24, 2015, 11:18:44 AM »

Expansions will be free. Nobody on the team is getting paid for any of this.
We hope the hard work pays off with people's enjoyment.

Having been out of the loop for long enough I'm astounded to find that this is a thing. Looks absolutely stunning, greatt job to all involved.

My modding knowledge has mostly left me, so can someone explain how these beautiful CAD's are turned into RA2 compatible stuff? Or link me to a post explaining?

You should have a look at RA3 announcement as well.

Pretty much everything in this mod was done the old school way, through 3DS Max, and then skinned using high quality photos we or the roboteers have taken themselves. :)

Fantastic.

at least this version of S2 will have a better chance of getting an oota that if it was just slamming into opponents

Fixed the awful broken quote. -Craaig
