Red Orchestra (2) : Heroes of Stalingrad

LOL.
Where the hell did I say I wanted it dumbed down. I mentioned the steepness of the learning curve but it was aimed at new players, which is what Tripwire will want to entice. I'm happy with RO, but if Tripwire wish to enlarge their user base then I'm sure they'll make it more user-friendly which from all reports/videos they've done.
Got to love how people take things out of context & get it all wrong.
Suddenly, I'm more excited about this game than I am for BF3. I'm a big fan of the original RO and I'm slightly taken aback by quite how many new features are present.
I mean... 64 players, destructible buildings (and I'm guessing large maps), first person cover, co-op (skirmish mode and campaign), free dlc, and all of ROs original features! That's a package and a half.

Preordered the Digital Deluxe Edition, pleased with the £23.99 I paid on steam was expecting to pay at least £29.99+ like most new games out lately.

Release date is the 30th August.
Buy the Digital Deluxe version and you get access to the final phase of the closed beta, though no date of when that will start.

Oo just realised i get 20% off as i have the original ostfront...even more reason for me to pre-order lol
Standard version for me. As long as I have a rifle! Bit wary of the kill/death ratios. Doesn't seem like the RO doctrine of team work although I'm sure that will be rewarded too and possibly more so. I'm sure they know what they're doing anyway.
The idea of iron sight zooming is more akin to modern shooters too. The fact it didn't do that in RO was part of the appeal for me. I preferred shooting little pixels from a distance with my rifle. Seemed more rewarding with no magical zoom.

Yay for 20% discount! I'm off to steam right now to pre-order the deluxe edition.

I personally think this is a good idea, it does the same on ARMA 2, it is to compensate for it being in a game, as when you look down an iron sight in real life you can get a pretty good view.

I buckled, preordered the Digital Deluxe Edition off Steam
Same here, though I doubt my computer will be able to run it properly, I still hope I can get some fun out of it on lowest settings with my specs.
