Also, correct Soviet summer uniforms. I mean, not these greatcoats and vatniks without snow. Russian summer uniform consisted of gymnastyorka (tunic), wide trousers, high boots or just boots with puttees. The head gear already presents. And I think that it would be great to have correct Soviet ranks of distinction: in-game greatcoats have wrong insignias, also, they don't have any ranks. I mean, commanders have empty insignias, like private.

Oh, thanks a lot! I don't know much about the film itself (only about the wrong image of the Battle of Stalingrad), but I like that track from it. Again, thank you very much!

Hi everyone! Who knows the name of a track which plays during the "Sniper's War" mission? I mean, when you go through the building with an ally and shoot the snipers to keep him alive. (Low-quality, reminds Russian folk tunes a lot) Thanks in advance!

Not so silly: what about captured weapons? (Germans even had their own names for them, like MP.41(r) aka PPSH-41). Or lend-lease: it was possible to see some Western weapons in Russians' hands. But in the terms of a game, it would be awkward and illogical. (Sorry for my English, I'm Russian)

Also, I have a complaint about 'Red Square Massacare'. The mission itself is great, but there's a problem: NO TEAMMATES. They spawn too rarely and die in the first seconds of firefight. Can you tweak their spawn, so they would follow the player constantly, just like regular missions? Sorry for complaining, but it's EXTREMELY difficult to pass the mission when you have no covering fire or any other targets for Soviets :-)
By the way, in Back2Fronts, despite the teammates' short lifespan, they became more useful due to increased firepower: for example, Soviets in the original game didn't have any LMG or automatic rifle and it was a pain in a backside to get the deadliest SMG- the great PPSH-41. Now, they can give a good assistance sometimes, so it's another awesome aspect of Back2Fronts.

The mod is awesome, but I have some questions: will be there any summer missions for the Red Army? Becuase, if it was a secret, there are all seasons in Russia, not only the winter :-)
Also, is there any way to make soldiers with an anti-tank rifle a bit more useful? Because they don't hit any armoured unit, but waste their ammo in desperate attempts to hit an infantryman. I mean, is it possible to make them open fire only at veichles?
And the last one: can you increase amount of ammo for AVT-40? Because it's a good gun, but it drains ammo so fast... Hell, it has only about 60 rounds 'in the pouches'! Even BAR has more ammo.
Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Яussia! :-)

Well, but where are the collar insignias? They are empty, as if he was a private. Is there any way to make correct insignias and ranks for bots?
P.S Sorry for not so perfect English, I'm a Russian schoolguy. So, it would be a bit strange, if I had good skills in English ;-)

Yeah, maybe Stalingrad assault mission is epic, but it's a wrong image of the battle: in real life, NO ONE have sent a SINGLE Red Army soldier into battle without a weapon. Also, the comissars hadn't shot retreating soldiers, but they were catching deserters or traitors. It would be nice to have early battles in Stalingrad outskirts or room-by-room bloody fightings (Pavlov's House, Grain Elevator).
P.S I know, there's a demand for "dumb Яussians", but maybe modmakers will show TRUE events.
P.P.S Sorry for my bad English and good butthurt. I'm a Russian :-)

It would be great to have Omaha map... but to play as Germans! It would be nice to gun down Allies with MG-42s and coastal guns, then retreat to the villages and take fight there :-)
P.S Not a trolling, just a humble opinion! My apologies, if I have offended someone!

Silo?.. Maybe you have meant The Grain Elevator, because there weren't any Silos in Stalingrad, only The Grain Elevator, that was defended by Naval Infantry troops. In Russian language, the silo (силосная башня) and the grain elevator (зерновой элеватор) are different things.
P.S Don't get offended, just pointing on the mistakes :-)
P.P.S Sorry for my faulty English. I'm Russian.

No, I think that L'Aigle should be SP-only. Because we already have Napoleonic Wars for MP battles. Also, some people like SP-only mods or games.

Listen, guys, what about commander A.I? Does it use some tactics, or just rushes like in previous version? Because it was quite confusing that A.I JUST RUSHED on my positions, without any formations!
P.S But... Anyway, glad to heat about cavalry nerf, because it was really imbalanced.
P.P.S Sorry for my faulty English. I'm a Russian.

I don't know about MoH:AA, maybe I forgot about it, but in the fisrt COD tank crews were trying to get out from the destroyed veichle, but their death was scripted: it would be more awesome, if they could continue fighting!

And almost forgot about one thing!..
Is there any way to implent tank/armoured cars crews, just like in CoD? I mean, when a veichle is destroyed, tank crew tries to leave their veichle but it's difficult to escape when they are on fire :-) In CoD there were only German Panzerwaffe crews, is it possible to implent national crews? And is it possible to make them to try to fight their way, not only just die in fire?
P.S It is just a question! I'm curious about abilities of the CoD2 modding.
P.P.S Sorry for too frequent comments :-)

So, I've been playing this mod for 5 days already, and I had made up my opinion:
AWESOME MOD! KEEP IT UP, DEVS!
...So, let's move to an actual opinion. Back2Fronts changed the gameplay heavily: new weapons, the REAL uniforms and units, like British Airborne or Fallschirmjaegers, new veichles (it's sad, but engine does not allow to control them... What a pity!..) new stationary weapons like the Maxim Gun, 6-pounder gun, DP-28, Lewis Gun... Also, some new missions: I liked them so much, especially Phyric Victory and Touferville.
But there is only one very small disadvantage: the lack of Soviet non-Winter missions: only STALIGЯAD, only hardcore!
P.S Sorry for my faulty English!
P.P.S Is there any hope to play some Soviet missons that are NOT in the winter? As I know, there are summer uniforms in the mod :-) But anyway: GOOD JOB, DEVS! I think that Back2Fronts is a one of the best mods for CoD2!

Wooo-Hooo! At last this mod have been released!
P.S So, I want to ask you some questions about further development:
-What about A.I? Are you planning some tweaks or changes on bots?
-What about new maps?
-And what about some interesting features, like drivable veichles or deployable weapons (Machineguns, Anti-tank rifles)? As I know, this features were avaliable in CoD: United Offensive, so it may be easy to port it to CoD2 (If I'm wrong, my apologies :-))
I'm just curious :-)
P.P.S Sorry for my faulty English. I'm a Russian student. And if there are any Russians, please answer!
Есть ещё русские? Тогда ответьте!

At last! Soviet Union is finally coming out! :-)
The trailer is awesome...
P.S If someone wants to know, what was the song, it was a "Svjash'ennaya Vojna" (The Holy War, Священная Война) by Lebedev-Kumach.
P.P.S Guys, what about the bots there? Are they decent, or they are dumb as a doorpost? For me, it's important: if bots are good to play with, I'll download the mod!
Sorry for my bad English. I'm Russian ninth-form student :-)

Nice, this is going to be awesome!
Dev Team, will be there any kind of Single Player? If the answer is "yes", it will be just a bot-match, or complete missions with triggers, like Heroes of Stalingrad?

I've been played this mod for only four hours, I have only around 18 Austrian Landwehr troops, and I had only 3 battles (1 by quest, 1 with bandits, and 1 with Italian patrol). But I already formed my opinion: it's not a mod: IT'S A NEW GAME. Not only because of Napoleonic age, but because of brand new features (Military Depot, "conscription", ranks, pre-battle tactics, standarts, artillery units). Also, the graphics are AWESOME!
P.S About pre-battle tactics: is it a new feature, or it already was in Warband? If I made a mistake, my apologizes, because I've been playing Native for a short time.
P.P.S Sorry for my bad English. I'm a Russian 9th-grade schoolguy :-)

OK, let it be so. But Western Front is really worn-out theme. The Eastern Front appears in games or movies very rarely. Also, in the most games, events of Eastern Front are being shown in false way: one rifle for three men, victory against all odds and so on. No one wants to see Soviet Liberators, but everyone wants to see Soviet bandits and Red Monster, that exterminates everything, that stands on it's way. Like Company of Heroes 2, Call of Duty, and so on.
About early stage of the war. I've seen this scenario only in Forgotten Hope (mod for Battlefield 1942) and Blitzkrieg (Russian RTS). And there's no any more shooters about this theme. I think, many of us wanted to play as a French, Polish or Norwegian soldier.
Also, there were a lot of interesting vehicles, like TKS, Somua, R-35, PzKpfw I...
P.S Again, I have no any plans to insult someone! And I must to apologize, if I've insulted someone!
P.P.S Again, sorry for my bad English! I'm a Russian ninth-form student :-)

Don't take my words as an insult, but... AGAIN!!! THIS NORMANDY!!!
...Let's continue. There are a lot of other WWII campaings, like Northern Africa, Battle for Kursk, French Campaign (1940), and even Battle for Berlin! But no, let's make a mod about worn-out theme like Normandy. No, I'm not trying to insult everyone and I must apologize if I insulted someone! But Western Front is not such interesting, like Eastern Front (Soviet Union vs Third Reich, Italy, Romania, Hungary and so on), or early stage of a war (Poland vs Reich, France and United Kingdom vs Reich, Belgium vs Reich...)
P.S The mod is awesome!
P.P.S Sorry for my English. I'm Russian (surprise!!!) :-)

Landrik, you are almost right about A.I, but only almost. I found out that bots are not so bad in combat (in whole series): they are blocking in time, shooting quite accurate, but they apparently have no waypoints: they are just rushing through walls and obstacles. And I hope that Iron Europe developers may add waypoints for them.
P.S In comparsion with Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Mount and Blade bots are GODLIKE!
C:MW bots are not blocking, kicking rarely, not using throwing weapons...
And, again, sorry for my bad English! :-)

This is awesome! I can't wait to see new version of the mod! I hope, it will have much more new interesting stuff, like trench guns, submachineguns (Italy 1915 or Germany-1918), posionous gases, anti-gas masks, and so on...
And one more: Is it difficult to improve A.I in the game? Learn them to shoot and not to stuck in the walls or trenches?
P.S Guest said:
"Enjoyed the erection when i saw this update."
Not only you, my friend :-)
P.P.S Sorry for my bad English. I'm Russian.

Epic ending. Just Epic. It's all about "they left to be forever young".
P.S Sorry for my bad English. I'm Russian student.

And one more question. It's about deployable weapons (machineguns, mortars).
As we all know, A.I can deploy their machinguns and mortars, but when he (she) gets killed, deployable weapon just DISAPPEARS, which is confusing and making us frustrate about it. And only A.I can use mortar.
So, is there an option to make these guns USEABLE and PICKABLE? It will be very interesting to take MG from position to position and it will be funny to destroy enemy's charge with their own mortar.
P.S As I know, CoD2 Engine is heavy modificated IdTech3. And can we just export pickable MG script from MoH: Spearhead and change it a bit?

Mod looks great! It will make CoD2 much more replayable, especially with custom campaigns :-) And I'm really impatient! I can't wait!
P.S What is the progress? When we can enjoy this mod at last?
P.P.S Sorry for my not so good English. I'm a Russian student (8th grade).
