One of the major pieces of feedback we received from the CTB was that there was community desire for end-of-Campaign cinematics or flare for the winning team - we hear you and are working towards getting these together for a future patch.

The HUD now hides when the Campaign map is visible, reducing visual clutter behind the translucent background

Hello everyone!Update 1.1 with Multiplayer Campaign is now live! You can find the update launch trailer here:And the changelog is as follows:Brand new to Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is the Multiplayer Campaign mode! A deep, tactical mode which takes place over several battles, where the fate of the Vietnam War will be decided. Players must choose a side, and vote on tactical decisions, such as where to attack, where to defend, and which of their faction's armies they will proceed in to battle with.In order to win the Campaign, you must either end the 11-year period of the war with more Victory Points than the opposing team, or capture every territory on the map. Each year comprises of a single battle where winning those battles will earn you new territory along with victory points.As the timeline of the war moves forwards through the Campaign, each of the armies' equipment and available commander abilities change. For example, after the Paris peace accords in â€˜73, the US and ANZAC forces withdraw, which leaves the Southern team with the ARVN for the last two years of the war. As you fight your way through the duration of the war, real-life technological advancements and political events have a meaningful impact on the flow of battle.Each faction also has a special ability - the Ho Chi Minh trail for the North, and Search and Destroy for the South. These both grant unique, asymmetric advantages for a single battle, and run on a three-turn cooldown which players must vote to either use or not once they become available.In order to more clearly explain the flow of the Multiplayer Campaign, a hypothetical Campaign flow has been posted at the below link:Thank you to everyone who came along to the CTB testing of the Campaign! Your feedback has been instrumental to some tweaks to the mode, which will are listed below:We want to express our gratitude to everyone who took part in the CTB and gave us their feedback! We couldn't have made those changes without you.Per community feedback, we have made some changes to certain weapons in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Those changes are as follows:Recoil reduction while in a supported stance such as Crouch or Prone have been increased to make their effects more noticable and useful.Resting your weapon is a great way to reduce its sway and recoil. The effect from resting your weapon has been increased to also have a noticeable benefit.To create more distinction between the NLF and PAVN factions who fight for Communist North Vietnam, NLF roles have been changed to reflect the guerilla nature of their forces, versus the standing army of the PAVN.The role changes are as follows:Throughout the Multiplayer Campaign players will experience loadout changes throughout the war. There are three periods in which resources and technology changes in the Campaign. These periods are Early, Mid and Late War.1.1 marks the official and long awaited release of Highway 14 into the Official map rotation.Thank you to community mapperfor letting us use this gargantuan map!Highway 14 sees the United States Army square off against the NLF in a gruelling conflict up a beautiful highway, and through several small towns. It also features the largest number of objectives to fight over in any of our stock maps, going all the way up to Objective M.There's been a massive amount of bug fixes and optimization work done on the road to making Highway an official map, and we can't wait for everyone to check it out!Reinforcement numbers have been tweaked for the following maps. We aim for reinforcements being the reason for a win/loss at rate of 10-15% overall. Some of the following map's had reinforcements deciding the winner 20-40% of the time.We have remixed the audio in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam to ensure proper directionality of combat sound. We have also increased the volume of environmental audio, foley and footstep sounds, and rebalanced various audio elements.We have also improved third person weapon sounds, and ensured that third person weapon firing and third person weapon decay are split out and handled independently.Thank you for your continued support,Antimatter Games & Tripwire Interactive
