I havn't heard anything yet about the proposed "Free Rifleman" idea, but today
Rafter of CRS posted a small new info pack, and the fact that the new 14 day trial period for the game started, and it won't time out till the end of the year. I didn't post the last free trial period, and this one seems to be following the idea of all the other MMOG's from 5 years ago (have a 2 week free trial period permenantly).
Note: in the download info pack is a terrian pic I took, it's the first one. I had no idea the rats would use it. It's taken with a old crappy Geforce Ti4200, without any new funky light blooms the game can have if your card can handle that sort of thing. Judging from the amount of posters playing Oblvion, you can run the game without a hitch. 1 Gig of ram is what you want. Screenshots from the last few months are

main page and click on the link from that). You'll need to make a new account I'm guessing to try it. Anyways, the game now had deployment (and it's somewhat quite regular for brigades to be routed off the map for 6 hours at a time), sniper rifles are also in, Tigers and Churhills are in and the new infantry hit effects are quite good (IMHO), the old red screen is gone, and you lose hearing for a short time, though it's not as well done as COD2.
