Used to play Red Orchestra a lot.. in fact I think I'll reinstall it.

Its great fun if you're in to more realistic shooters. You've got no crosshairs, just iron sights and the weapons are pretty true to life. Some of the maps are massive, one of them has hour long rounds where you have to push forward through 10 or so objectives.

The tank combat is fun too. If you position it at the right angle enemy shots riccochet harmlessly off the armor and you need 3 players to use one effectivley (driver, gunner and MG)

There's a lot of defending (some would call it camping..) involved though and unless you've got a full server on some of the larger maps the action can be pretty slow paced. Its the sort of game where you can actually run out of ammo before dying (and you get a lot of it, none of this 3 magazine rubbish like in MW2). Much less about reaction speed and more about your positioning and how well you can line the crosshairs up.

Well worth £3.50 though in my opinion

It's good but hardly anyone plays it anymore. And those that do are mainly Russian. It was a good game/mod when it was popular, worth £3 but not much more.

Most of the english speaking people have moved to the RO Darkest Hour mod and thats another good reason to get Red Orchestra.
 
Does anyone play the mare nostrum mod? I prefer the good old bolt action rifles than the garand on RO: DA... I just cant aim the damn thing.
