Never played the original, is this supposed to be more realistic than your general online FPS?

Gideon Lorr · 3 Aug 2011 at 17:28

Never really clicked with the original, but that was because of the age of the game, and that I stupidly gave it half an hour of my time. So I'm quite tempted to order the deluxe version of this one, I need a deep shooter to counter the others I play!

In short - yes. Its a rather gritty and unforgiving game. Great fun if you like to play hard though.

I am getting this and BF3 but this is far far more ball tingly, can't wait and about time pre-orders started.

Speedy Pete · 3 Aug 2011 at 17:49

If any1 is picking up the delux version and doesnt have the first game just get it on amazon for 3bucks and then u get 20% off on steam, so u get the first game free. If my calculations are correct. which they probably arent but hey.

I'll order RO next week then

Nooooo buy it now! :eek:

Cliste · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:17

Got the Deluxe. My first pre-order for a game ever and the most expensive too probably.

Will be worth it though, even though I'm heading back to Uni late Sept. without my PC

.

P.s. I've got one of those Russian badges in real life.

Can't wait to put some serious hours into this game.

Been looking into this for ages but can't find an up to date game mode list, what have we got coming. What were the main clan modes for RO1?

megatron · 4 Aug 2011 at 08:25

This started as a mod for BF2 amirite?

Neil79 · 4 Aug 2011 at 08:33

Pardon my ignorance with this game but does this game compare with the old Call of Duty games in terms of gameplay? Big fan of the old COD, COD UO games before the series turned into the spawn of satan.

The first was quite a hardcore tactical shooter, but fairley fast paced. This game requires teamwork to win, you simply can't win without it.
Tripwire claimed to have made this more "accessible" for those who couldn't really get into the first game, but to be honest the first was epic and I loved the CoD series up until it died in 2007.
