Malc: You announced a few weeks ago Blitzkrieg 2 and from
the screen shots it looks like youve got a good start could
you give us a time frame (not a date) of a possible release, I
mean 2 3 months 6 months 1 year +
Smurfbizkit: Blitzkrieg II has been in the works for a
couple months now, largely due to the fact that nearly the entire
team received beta disks of Generals. Most of the work done so
far has been ini research and the very time consuming modeling/skinning
process. Right now we have a good deal done, and I would expect
to see Blitzkrieg II out by the summer(if not sooner).
Malc: Blitzkrieg 1 was a big success how do you plan on keeping
the momentum up on Blitz 2?
Smurfbizkit: Personally I (along with a good number of the
rest of the team) thought that Blitzkrieg I could have been much
better. As for the "momentum" for that mod....we only
had it a few times and mostly near the end. I plan on keeping
it up for Blitzkrieg II by releasing frequently...more akin to
how Deezire released his versions for Ra2.
Malc: Will blitz 2 have any new features never seen before
in Generals or Blitz 1?
Smurfbizkit: Personally I (along with a good number of
the rest of the team) thought that Blitzkrieg I could have been
much better. As for the "momentum" for that mod....we

Malc: Will blitz 2 have any new features never seen before
in Generals or Blitz 1?
Smurfbizkit: We'll have plenty of new features...I won't
talk about them untill we are 100% sure that they will work the
way we want them though. Lets just say that EAP left in a lot
of unused code for us to play with.
Malc: Blitz 1 concentrated a lot of realism will Generals
concentrate more on balance or again on realism?
Smurfbizkit: Blitzkrieg II will try to have as good of
a gameplay and realism balance, but if it comes down to it, gameplay
will win. Although I doubt we'll have to sacrifice much of realism...since
we have so many more possibilities in Generals. We can actually
make Blitzkrieg II much more realistic than Blitzkrieg I, yet
have better gameplay.
Malc: Any chance of some exclusive screens?
Smurfbizkit: Maybe once we get our internal alpha in testing
Malc: Thanks for your time and I look forward to seeing
those screens
