Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

This is how the game should have been at launch. They rushed it out because of Battlefield and CoD (Yes, speculation) but now it's stellar. Realism is my favourite, and it's so satisfying now. Bolt rifles crunch just like I hoped they would, and actually drop people. MGs actually effectively hold ground, especially due to the new suppression mechanics that actually work. Automatic weapons are still dominant without being a lol-fest.

Love it.
 
Just bought the deluxe for £7 cant argue. No idea if ill like it, but i do enjoy tactical shooters.
Is there a tutorial, as i dont fancy doing the campaign i just want to learn the controls and jump into the mp.
 
If you bought it you can do the start of the singleplayer - you will learn general controls and game themes with the tutorial. Think all the singleplayer is locked for the free weekend until you buy it

Its worth going into the input options and setting things how you like. Theres hold options rather than toggles now and you can have separate keys for bandaging, cover and Use. Bind the overhead map so its easy to reach, and for me its worth unbinding the auto nade throw button incase you hit it by mistake and blow up your team

Action mode is intended as a bridge for cod players into RO gameplay. There are 3 modes within the server type too, territory, countdown (1 life) and FF (TDM). Realism and Classic on territory are more RO style - high damage weapons, class limits and freeaim weapon movement rather than crosshair. Some maps are better than others, or have quite different gameplay so try a few maps and game modes before forming an opinion on the game. Its a game that might grow on you, or require a bit of effort. Stick with it though :)

I've just purchased the game and it says BETA on the end in the game list, is this correct?
I played the version that was free for the weekend and liked it enough to purchase, i now also have nothing showing up in the server browser.

Should not say beta check your list again as you should have the retail version and beta
 
I'm gonna hold off for a little while, I want to see if they fixed the speed hack bans quite a few people used to get.

I might keep an eye on the forums and see if the issue comes up, hopefully they won't fob everyone off again.
 
The game is running great for me now those mini patches seem to fix my issues, glad to see a lot of servers running I hope a lot of people buy the game over this free weekend, the panzer 4 is great fun does anyone know if they will bring back some of the old vehicle maps?

The sale price is criminal. I think it was one of the best games of last year, certainly multiplayer.

The free weekend could be a bit rough with the "speshul" people team killing and whatnot, but that will go away.

No way!, it was buggy - bad performing and had a terrible launch so much so it almost killed off the fanbase and gave the company a bad name. This looks to have saved it
 
Thought i`d fire mine up after not playing it for ages,done the conversion and now a 5gb dl?
Seems i`ve missed out of a few patches. :D

...Ah,big update patch. How`s it playing now after that long list of updates/changes?
