You know the funny part is that Darkflow spend their time and resources working on zombie modes, zombie tanks, halloween skins, spikey tanks and bloody wraps, meanwhile ever since the Merge:
- there is still no way to buy a British or an italian soldier of the class you want
- there is still no way to get pre-merge squads (e.g. British assaulters) if you didn’t grind them
- vehicles still don’t have map-based skins – you buy a winter white skin? Welcome to Tunisia
- “Map soft rule” doesn’t work – you’ll be sent to Rzhev with a perfectly “Italian Tunisia” lineup
- British don’t get any warm uniforms
- Italians don’t get any European theater uniforms
- 1944 Pz IV J and Puma are still driving around Moscow
- yellow Italian tanquettes are still fighting interwar sandy British tanks at the Bulge
- premium Moroccan squad wears bedouin bathrobes everywhere except Ardennes, but including Normandy
- premium Volkssturm squad wears business suits in literally all environments, including Tunisia
- Volkssturm weapons are still on low BR including Tunisia and Moscow where they couldn’t exist
- Volkssturm units are intentionally added with fur hats in Tunisia and VS armbands in Moscow
- Stalingrad and Rzhev (1942-43) are intentionally added to late war BR5 matches
- premium female soldiers look like amateur 3d artist’s failed school project
- intentionally adding prototypes that blew up during trials and were not used in WW2 (AS-44, T-20, AutoHei, RPD) or straight up was fake (Ho-Ri)
- there is still zero support for modders
- etc
Literally NOTHING is being done for actual WW2 side/immersion/attention to detail and instead resources are wasted on freaking Samurai armor (which was just proven to not be WW2-used but DF won’t care) and spikey Sherman tanks because “haha fun bright who cares”.

Not just that but terrain is full of foliage that obscures your vision so you may not see them or boss and get hit and die. They need to rebalance that entire section.
Wow!
I did not realize the female soldiers looked that bad.
I’m actually suprised DF let something like that in the game
It’s obvious that they went super lazy and don’t even try anymore with their maps if they did we would have way more maps from 1944-45 and that would include Leningrad which should be available for BR4-5 instead of Stalingrad.
BTW Soviet Premium APC’s MG rounds doesn’t even move into the chamber while shooting. Laziness and half assing is DF’s motto.

I gues the frustration is, well first of all the Japanese boi is just to much, but also,
this time could have been spend elsewhere. There are stil so many problems and things to update so it just feels odd seeing this? But I also dont want to nag to much … Like I am happy its here but just … would have like have seen way more in the previous update and then they develope this …

If their strategy was randomness after the Merge, they could have easily started adding “generic” maps which would work for many BRs and even fronts:
But instead they put their development time and effort into HAhA wE TroLl thE HisTORianS

How about adding a “vote to kick” feature? Already running in to AFK farmers.

Honestly i don’t know why it takes them so long to develop a single new map. They could give some incentive to the modders by giving them gold and premium squads/time for making maps for them, DF could just add their own pre-made objects, change it a bit and then release it for us.
Remember how Epic made contest with money called Make Something Unreal? It was a great success that kickstarted companies like Tripwire and we got a lot of amazing games including Red Orchestra that also spawned Killing Floor thanks to the free UE3 license they’ve got.

Like where is the work on “maps soft rule”?
- March 2023
Where is the work on Custom Matches and being able to AT LEAST create a battle which is not BR 1-5?
- February 2023

Wow, one full month of nothing but this lame event.
Call me back in a month, when devs come back to work.
Many things to fix, instead of going forward it looks like you lost your compass.

Yeah.
anyway.
love the new items for the editor. and i guess the few features of this new event.
( because yes, modders situation is that diar, since that, the only things we get is literally just assets and few nodes opposed as requested features ).
now, part of me says, who the hell even wanted this.
but then again, it’s halloween.
so… i presume everyone can let it slide.
but, i’ll give my feedbacks ( if are of any use anyway ) about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
the good
-
assets
as said, i love more assets for the editor so that modders can get something and use them for something else. -
the bp event themed concept.
event that are somewhat bp and has something for everyone is a good concept.
one that may open for many exploitable and unferable outcomes ( such as cosmetics being fomo / forever locked ) but as said,trying to highlight the positives. having two active bps can be beneficial to newer players ( even though, i must admit, there isn’t a whole lot for newer players in this bp ) but also gives a meaningfull way for events to be played opposed as just playing them once, and be done with them. -
nice rewards
especially the squad that comes with it -
gameplay
as said, zombies aren’t my cup of tea, but the gameplay is nice and it’s even greater than the first zombie thingy.
the one made in april.
- even more variety of zombos ( laser giant one is my favorite ) and overall good models.
the bad
- guns boxes
guns inside the " random" box are kinda pitiful compared to the first zombie event.
not enough variety.
90% of the time i always and only got the shotgun, the mp40, m3a1 & stens.
that’s about it. compared for example, the the first mode
another complaint that i had,
- tokens
the way tokens works, should be changed.
i have to relay on other people to win or get tokens. ( that is, in a meaningfull way that aren’t inherently daily challenges )
on my experience, i played 5 matches. and not a single won.
you know why?
because teammates just like in the base game, don’t fully grasp the concept of objectives nor teamwork.
so, 9/10 i end up being the last one up and swarmed by 70 zombies chasing my 
while the rest of the team is either dead, or afk.
which it’s fine. not everyone is a god / goddess ( or should be ) in videogames
god’s forbid.
but it’s not really the best of the experience where i have more than 40 ( sometimes up to 70 ) tokens and not being able to earn them because i have to extract with them but my chances are fairly low with 70% of the people who play this game to begin with.
which as explained, having to relay on teammates is far from being ideal.
with that being said, i can see the " play with friends / team " as a positive net.
which it’s a good incentive for people that already does that.
playing with the “broes” can be fun.
but for those who seek solo “experiences” while “bonding” with strangers to achieve and overcome goals, most of the time is going to be miserable.
so, in my opinion, every chest and tokens gain should remain for the rest of the match. perhaps reduce the amount you get, in order to somewhat still incentivize to win and gain more.
but right now, i feel like it ain’t working.
almost feels like a waste of time. especially for getting so many tokens, but one or more fucks up from your teammates and say goodbye to 30 mins of your time.
( which sure, we have a month before everything goes away )
the ugly
- the bp sort of affects the whole experience of the gamemode.
you start with no classes other than the regular guy who cannot have more than 2 weapons ( unlike the first event ) such chore is ever felt on the harder difficulties ( which yes. there is written that you should own already squads and yada yada yada ).
and worse, if you want to get better weapons, you are almost forced to progress with the battlepass.
which isn’t just about rewards, but it becomes almost as a necessity.
- squads locked ( and weapons % ) behind the premium bp.
now, unlike others, i’m not against the premium themed event bp.
however, i’m against the fact that you can’t win all of them.
which in my opinion, the premium should have granted more challenges to complete per day ( just like the regular bp, a way to complete it easier and taking less time in doing so ) and you can’t get most weapons with %
which, it becomes a pay to compete.
as it’s halloween as said, we can let it slide.
what I personally do not let it slide, are these god awefull cosmetics.
or… a literally “zombie” tank.
cosmetic rant
the first one, we really could have stretched it and somewhat justified by it’s red paint.
which could have been associated on a red factory primer. and made somewhat sense on a panzer IV J.
but this:
on top of:
- random samurai
- german wannabe edge lord with mg42 round belt, g43 pouches and perfectly clean uniform with ripped off sleeves. screams irregular soldier written all over
- stereotipical uncle bear from siberia ( or rather, captain beard red from russia with love )
that really makes me wonder:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjWr0pTiJEE
i don’t know how anyone can justify it.
perhaps it’s a low effort to see how many will actually buy it to then open the gates to even more wacky cosmetics.
but i digress with my conspiracy theory
just don’t pull any of this c*ap anymore please.
again, zombie events are fine.
but zombie themed cosmetics that can be used in the base game, isn’t.
because as much this world war two game is debetable at best when it comes to " historical accuracy " the same argument that some devs and helpers loves to use as an excuse to justify certain controversial decisions ) you sure are being consistent as always with your wordings.
otherwise what next?
bavarian stronk indipendednt volkssturm chick with Ars for germany to use in moscow?
Edit: ( couldn’t find the cursed picture that was shown in the official discord server. but i found one equally disturbing )
literal captain amerika next?
or why not, a dedicated lenin skin etc.
you get what i’m going with.
which these new squads with soldiers are a mistake.
forget the " collector " side.
the german get to use the tunic ON ALL FRONTS ( similar to the guerilla with vs volkssturm and sleeved tunics during winter )
you just can’t make this stuff up.
or run around like an actual samurai in a ww2 game.
( which. i must admit. the armor does look cool. prop for the modeler team )
just out of touch and sight…
but there’s a good ground.
anyway, since i’m at it and i think the german uniform could be salvaged,
make it slighlty more dirty and add some actual sleeves & rolled sleeves for the base game.
so it does not look totally out of place.
as it goes for the tank.
i would like to say " get rid of it " but some weirdos already probably bought it, and the usual " we can’t pull it back because was in the store " bs will appear.
so, just no more of these in the future.
like, a decal, at best.
other stuff should be reserved for zombie / custom game only.

After a month of the event they will have Xmass break and we won’t get Manchuria + Khalkhin Gal till late 2025 at earliest.
