We've known that this has been coming for years.
Since the Heavy Metal Warriors first faced off against each other back in 2003 we have seen HMW grow and develop into the wargame we all know and love to hate, but we also knew its time was running out and a new world would one day take its place.
Then, a month ago, this was released: The first teaser for HMW2.
The first peek into a whole new world and whet the appetite for what was to come.
Now, thanks to Omega Sentinel, we can get our next insight in to how some aspects of the future of Heavy Metal War will change.
Concentrating on the new dual-wield weapon systems and introducing the concept of 'Spark Points' to your transformations, the programmer who has taken Heavy Metal War and made it just that little bit more Heavy presents...
Alts and Ammo! The second trailer for Heavy Metal War II
Sorry the quality is kind of bad. Best I could do with a short amount of time.
There ya go folks, the words of a genius.
Got an opinion or questions about the video?
Wanna find out more about HMW2?
Never even heard of HMW!?!
Then join us in the organised chaos that is the Heavy Metal War discussion boards for more information, discussion, insights and arguments about the future of HMW, and more.

I assume this will mean a reset (for everyone) once HMW2 is started?
Not that I mind, wouldn't be the first time I lost a top 10 position, I'll gain it back
Anyway, my original meaning to post was to ask the question: Any estimate on when we might actually get to see HMW2 implemented?
And if Burn and friends need any bots to help beta test HMW2, I'm always available..

If you want to dump players into missions and go to work you can continue to do so. The goal with the game is to offer depth while allowing the simpler game to be played for those that choose it. So far that seems to be coming together nicely.Kickyourassacons wrote:Sounds pretty cool and I am very excited for the opening day. These new features wont take more time will they? I like this game because I can play while I am at work but I wouldn't have time for the game if HMW2 requires much more of it. I like how I can just throw guys in missions and forget about it.

So those of us that play at work can continue to dump and run, Excelent planning, OS.
Thank you for thinking of these aspects, that shows again how much thought you've put into this. Kudos.

I must say, this look pretty damn cool. I'm a little confused about how stuff works, but I'm always confused about stuff, especially when it comes to starting new games like this 
But it looks as if I can figure stuff out quickly on the fly (experimentation/trial and error). I'm eager to see the new weapons system myself, and the altmode system looks interesting to me too.
Awesome work, OS! Can't wait for this to come out!

Looking great so far. With all the times V2 has been 'just around the corner', I was fairly cynical about this attempt going anywhere...but this trailer's convinced me that this is for real and the new game is going to be very impressive. May is a long way off, but I can't wait to give V2 a shot.

Are you sure...?
The whole thing gives me an overall "meh" feeling. It's like the original game, but with more numbers. I don't necessarily construe that as an improvement.
There's something about alt modes and spark points that just seem totally counter-intuitive to me. First, that transforming from a robot warrior into a slowly accelerating, difficult-to-maneuver Earth vehicle (aka a semi-truck) has any advantage at all doesn't make sense. This is a limitation on the gameplay itself I think, as it reserves itself almost entirely to combat, so aspects of alt modes that would be beneficial outside of combat are either not going to make sense or are going to be omitted.
Second, there's never been any inherent cost to a transformation other than the time to do it and perhaps some exertion comparable maybe to walking up a short flight of stairs. In the lore, transforming was actually a method of conserving energy; not expending it.
It sounds like Spark Points are going to be used like "Mana Points," or "Magic Points," or "Action Points," or whatever tub-o-resource the game uses. Can't say I'm excited about this. I was disappointed in HMW1 that alt modes did nothing aside from random special attacks. Spark Points say to me that alt modes are just going to be represented by "So-and-so transforms into a whats-it and does a special attack!" Except now there's an MP cost.
I always wanted to see my transformers transform and... well, stay that way. If you have a strategic advantage as a fighter jet strafing the battlefield (no, not that strafing), why would you bother with robot mode? I feel like there's a lot of design space missing.

The only thing that might concern me is if the allspark limits us on how much we can play to much like ap points in other games. I don't play this version much anymore but I am looking forward to getting back to my long nights at work at playing the new version.

Spark points do not inhibit play. You can ironbot in the new game, you will just have to do it without your alt modes if you decide not to let your spark rest.

Will there be an area where you could check your indepth stats on your individual characters? Similar to what the "XP Games" are but have it done automatically. I really like to see how my guys are doing but it happens once a week and the VERY generous Fearless Echoes pulls the work. I feel guilty asking for the breakdowns. It would be cool if the game did all this work instead of a single individual. Maybe even count the hours the person is playing. To see if your team is performing really well or are you crunching in the time to make up for the poor performance.

Yes. May not be exactly what you are envisioning but the game will track many things that will be accessible in your "stats" tab.

I think I share the same feelings as the rest of the 51 other people that you help out I am sure though that when HMW2 releases you will have another opportunity to create a stats tracker of some sort. I am still amazed that you can keep track of all of us and post our scores every week I didn't want to replace you, I just thought this was turning out to be a burden. But my thoughts were wrong as you enjoy this task.
Also thanks OS for the answer

My question is in regards to weapon wielding. What benefit is there to wielding only one weapon? Obviously wielding 2 gives you more attacks, and wielding a 2-hander may potentially give more damage. This is typically how it should work anyways. So why would I NOT want to dual or 2-H wield?
BTW, I had pretty much quit playing HMW for the typical reasons of not really standing a chance w/ there being an overpowering of Decepticons versus Autobots. But this has got me excited.

Will there be a repair tactic? and if so will there be a xp gain for the % you repair, like ram? Its hard to to get people to want to have a repair character because he doesn't produce much xp. This would create a "Team" battle and not individual performance.

It would create "classes" much like any rpg, with ranged attackers, close combat, medics, maybe "stealthy/sneak" etc. but implementation of that should be beneficial on a level beyond what it is now. with experience being able to increase your proficiency with said tactic automatically instead of you dumping points in it..

Judging from the tests so far, I think we can safely say that repair has been um... repaired.

You're clearly doing it wrong. My medic rocks, Ask Wingspan. Of course, you do need allies with some endurence.
As by far the biggest loud mouth in the preds, I declare that I should be allowed on the testing team!

Obviously wielding 2 gives you more attacks, and wielding a 2-hander may potentially give more damage. This is typically how it should work anyways. So why would I NOT want to dual or 2-H wield?
Each indivdual shot will cost you energon, which will be scarce. You wouldn't want to blow it all on bullets if you'll need it to cover your CR costs.
