JA2 Reloaded - Newsletter 2

In their second newsletter the Reloaded team addresses the current debate on the combat system and the first impressions of the Meduna missile base.

Dear JA Community,

In the second issue of our newsletter we are voicing our opinion on the current discussion on the combat system.
We are also delighted to announce that we are giving our website and forum a brand new look.
Last but not least, the first screenshots of the Meduna missile base are also available.

Discussion on Jagged Alliance 2: Reloaded – turn-based combat system 2011

We are sorry to have caused a furore in the discussion on a modern combat system for 2011. We admit our choice of words at the start of the thread was somewhat unfortunate, which led to the discussion developing in a direction that ultimately focused on the detailed refinements of the system and less on a vision for a modern game version, which was our intention, and we would like to thank you for your contributions.
We recently explained our Plan & Go system and we will now release regular updates on the combat system and answer your questions as best we can for the time being.
We would ask for your understanding if we are unable to go into every question in detail. There will certainly be some changes to our concept of the combat system during the development process, as the theory can often work out quite differently in practice. We would also ask you to bear in mind that the game will not be released for at least a year and, for this reason, everything is far from being set in stone.

Redesign of the website and forum

We are in the process of overhauling the website and forum. To ensure a successful switchover, the website and forum will soon have to go offline for several hours, and we will notify you of the exact time very shortly. All the entries and user data will remain unchanged.

Jagged Alliance 2: Reloaded – first impressions of the Meduna missile base

A classic game will be totally revamped next year with Jagged Alliance 2: Reloaded. In Q4 2011 we anticipate that you will again be using the M.E.R.C. and A.I.M. mercenary agencies to form powerful troops of mercenaries to topple a malign female dictator in the fictitious country of Arulco.

The Jagged Alliance 2: Reloaded "media" section now contains a series of screenshots that provide the first glimpse of the Meduna missile base, and you can compare these with the corresponding images from the 1999 original.

Thanks Alrik.
