The UT2k4 Red Orchestra mod has an update for their fans today. Have a look.

With the release of Red Orchestra 3.1 not far off in the future, it is time we started showing off a bit more of what the team has been working on. Having a look at the new Panzer just over two weeks ago, to start this week off we are showing the new Russian T-34. Now keep in mind, not only do these tanks look much better from the outside, but the interior’s have been finished up to match.

We would also like to officially announce the introduction of the ZIS-5 truck to the arsenal of vehicles at the players command this time around (for those who don't read our forums). Need to bring Soviet reinforcments quickly to the front? Have no fear, the truck is here! With room for several passengers in the back, this weaponless vehicle is good for rushing troops to where they need to be after a reinforcment repspawn. It is also good for being shot out of if you attempt to drive it into enemy fire. Yes you read that right, shot out of, and thats not just for the ZIS-5. Tankers of both sides and SdKfz251 gunners have a new enemy to fear as they enter the Red Orchestra fields of combat, enemy small arms fire. [Full Story]

Well I'd just like to announce that we have finally completed modeling all of the weapons in Hellfire. F-22 Raptor has finished a customized G-11a2. This brings our total weapon count up to 36. Raptor has also completed the AH-64 Apache Longbow. This brings our total number of modeled helos up to 7. Finally I (Evil Smiley) have finished texturing the M4a1. I hope you enjoyed the update and continue to watch our website for the latest news.

I found something interesting on Slashdot today. The New York Times has wrote an article on voice acting for the gaming industry.

The New York Times (registration required) has an article up on the process and attention that Voicing Video Games is now getting. From the Article: "My role, as a psychotic talk-show caller, seemed straightforward. But struggling through a dozen takes to perfect that one line one day in early August impressed upon me the high expectations levied on today's video game voice actors."
