In an extensive interview lead tester nip and PR-manager ETR talk about the upcoming 0.3 release. New gametypes, new maps, weapon tweaking, the direction of War§ow, its marketing and so on. Last but not least: War§ow TV.

1. Rocket Arena/Clan Arena

1.1 Great mode by Guwashi. He's now team member so it isn't a surprise that RA/CA will be a new gametype in 0.3.

nip:Yeah, we were planning on implementing it for a while now, and we were gonna do it for the 0.3 release anyway. When guwashi released his mod for WSW 0.21 , we thought that it'd be better for him to join us (if he wanted to) and continue his work on the mod using the latest source available.

ETR: And we shouldn’t forget Impulz’ work on the mod too (remember him from #warsow.arena ?). He’s giving Guwashi some help here and there too for the mod :). But it’s coming around nicely, alot of testing is being spent on it just because it’s so damn fun.

1.2 Have you designed special maps for RA/CA or do you use the current ones?

nip: We try and do the best we can when it comes to maps, but as some of you know, map developing takes ages. What I can tell you is that out of the new maps, there are some that fit 1v1/2v2 RA play and that there'll be at least one big RA map. Imo maps like wtest14 and wtest7 fit RA play fine as well, maybe a bit too much EB on times, but hey.. it's RA isn't it ;-).

ETR: As for the CA specific map for 0.3: bLx has made a great CA map, which is currently still in development, but can be expected to be finished, polished and included for 0.3. CA demands bigger, more open maps with more freedom of movement (rocketjumps anyone?), and the new CA map will cater just fine to that :P. For 2v2’s and other stuff I suppose the dm maps will work fine.

1.3 Which settings do you suggest playing CA/RA?

nip: Ha, getting a little anxious are you :-)
Ermmm, well, WSW RA/CA isn't exactly what you're used to... We've given it a little twist, to make things more fun and to support people who like teamgames. Tests showed that well, normal CA/RA was a tad boring, you'd just get a ton of strong ammo's and you'd be spamming them to no good. So we figured something out that resembles a class-mode CA, now I know it sounds a tad lame, but what it does is divide strong weapons in the team. You'll be able to pick one out of 3 classes, where every class resembles a type of player.

ETR: Yep, it’s basically a setting which gives the player the choice to select a weaponset which will have strong ammo’s. I think it’s a very fun twist to CA, and makes it differ a bit from the standard roundbased 4v4 warmup we were getting used to :P. Ofcourse for the rest we stay true to CA/RA, so expect the basic ruleset. That and a shitload of rockets for total freedom!
