Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

The graphics are a bit mixed. Some dodgy textures and models in places but the lighting and effects are great. The DoF is really good when switching between iron sights and regular vision.

Much better graphics than some of the videos suggest.

After one game? Madness and a shame.

What more would you want from a ww2 shooter?

Will play it a few times until BF3 beta comes out then that'll be me done with it, very poor game.

I'm actually stunned. People on this forum whine so hard about arcadey, console ports of boring, spazzy shooters. Tripwire then creates a hardcore PC only, heavily skill based FPS and it gets immediately written off.

Jet packs and the COD engine of course.

Only one person really seems to have written it off...

Still can't get server lists to show :<, slightly annoying now.

It is a shame that a 100% pc fps shooter doesn't get the notice it deserves but maybe once retail reviews come out the player base should grow nicely.

Did you try the fix with the mastersever files?

I cant imagine the timing of it's release helps either with BF3 so close. I havent pre-ordered so not tried the Beta but Im facinated by the history of the Eastern Front and RO2 looks like a great antidote to CoD so I'l be buying.

Two people I think. Really, its no big bother, youll always find those who bemoan the lack of realism and then get miffed when they get it because of one shot kills and no bunny hopping around a firefight. Luckily the FPS universe is big enough to cater for all.

I must say, im really looking forward to the expansions and hopeully some fan maps. Vietnam will be awesome beyond words.

There is nothing realistic about clunkily moving your avatar around computer generated battlefield and pressing Left Alt to get into cover.

Anyhew I'll leave you all to it, enjoy!

I think there is a little more to it than that. You sound very bitter that it was not what you expected

is there anyway to get the resoltion of 5760 x 1080 by changing it in the config before starting the game?

Did you set the files to read only?

Hank_Marvin · 1 Sep 2011 at 16:11

I found after a few rounds the controls and movements felt pretty normal.

Try setting launch options (right click game > properties > set launch options) and enter: "-w 5760 -h 1080". Might work, might not

Is there an OcUK group for this btw?
