Red Orchestra 2

    I didn't notice a thread about this game yet, anyone tried it?

    I've been beating the hell out of it for a couple of days.

    While it's not the most polished game out there, it's probably the best WWII fps I've played. Not bad from indie devs!

    Actually, I wouldn't mind a new, solid WW2-shooter.

    Unfortunately RO2 is a tad too "realistic" for my taste. Clunky movement and shooting, no thanks.

    there are probably a lot of solid WWII shooters out there already, not sure why anyone would want yet another one. WWII has been run into the ground, resurrected, run into the ground again before getting reanimated into something unholy and run into the goddamn ground again.

    Have you played the first Red Orchestra, Sentura? It did quite a few things differently than other WW II games out there. Big open maps, no crosshairs, bleeding, you had to identify friends/foes by their uniforms, ... - that stuff made the game much more interesting and immersive to many players including myself. Not to mention that Red Orchestra is all about the Eastern campaign of WW II. There is a defnitely a market for more realistic WW II shooters and Red Orchestra fills it quite nicely. I haven't followed the sequel much to be honest, but "first person cover-, morale- and squad-command-system" sounds promising to me. This might not sound all that convincing to you, but what I'm trying to say is: this isn't your standard shovelware-WW2-copycat-shooter.

    i've not played RO, ever, and i don't intend to. WWII bores the crap out of me. old rifles instead of modern tech? SNORE.

    i might come off as ignorant and brash in this, and i don't really intend to. i don't doubt it's decent for what it is, i'm just tired of still seeing new WWII games pop up. can't we have a new war that the US will actually win so people can stop masturbating all over the last proper victory?

    who knew that the setting could mean so much?

    Red orchestra doesn't have yanks in it, it's the eastern front. Sure it is still WWII but at least no americans, right?

    I don't know where you get the idea from that what we need is more modern war shooters but everyone is entitled to have their own favourite war-simulator setting. :derp:

    well okay, maybe just put it this way: any setting but WWII

    How about thems barrels d3? They looking russian barrel like enough for you?

    Don't be silly, they're just normal wine barrels found anywhere in the world

    piece of shit game.

    boring, buggy, runs badly, looks shit, 6000 people left playing a week after release, all the un-fun stuff from RO is back with a vengeance in RO2.

    waste of money.

    Being a pure fan of the first RO and of games with historical backgrounds (yeah everyone their own sexual arousal )

    I was quite disapointed that RO2 was made more accessible, has a gameplay with a faster rythme, small maps, more precise weapons.....

    All these epic moments of the first RO are all gone
