HINTS ABOUT THE FUTURE:



So we added a number of maps set in Germany, we wanted to aim for a more industrialised sort of feel, this destroyed landscape. Germany had been pulverised from the air for a number of years at this point, so we wanted a slightly post-apocalyptic feel with lots of scattered and broken machinery, so that was the focus there. There’s some really unique new areas to play in.


===========

So we’re continuing to roll out new abilities to mod the game, and I think at some point having a group of players or a clan take up those challenges, of modding in a far Eastern army, or the Italians, that kind of thing, that’s something we’d be excited to support.


=========

Every time we add a new faction we have to go back and take a look at the other ones, so there tends to be a balance update with any new expansion. We’re also looking at various kinds of content updates, we replaced all the sub-machine gun animations actually, we did a lot of new motion capture in England just to get a quality update to that animation set, which looked and felt a little under par compared to the new things we had added elsewhere. And that brings up the general quality and visual fidelity of the game. There’s a number of other features we’ll be launching en route; we added the leaderboards, there’s a big website update to coincide with the leaderboards, a big update to the store. So there’s lots of features that coincide with the launch of the new army.

It's still unclear whether the leaderboards are going to make it in game, and more importantly, featured on the loading screen before the game begins. Although the way that Duffy mentions how the website "coincides" with the leaderboards certainly seems like they will eventually be in game. Fingers crossed!

I hope this means they plan to update the old vehicle skins. The British skins look much better and have decals on them which look fantastic. Other army vehicles look plain and bland in comparison.

Maps with the British set in Germany could imply a late '44 / early '45 theme.
