New Red Orchestra update out

[rossmum]

RO is the best WW2 game in my opinion. How about u guys?

Easily the best WWII FPS I've ever played.

Um, yeah it is. "Nothing like it" sure it is...

Uh, no it's not. CoD is a run-and-gun, score-oriented game just like CS, DoD, MoH, all of those. It has crosshairs. The weapons aren't even close to being realistic. The whole thing is set up to promote fast-paced gameplay where tactics beyond "take the left flank" don't work worth shit. CoD is fun, but it's nothing like RO at all.

RO is a tactical realism game. No crosshairs and minimal HUD (thank the Lord). You don't even know how many shots are left in your mag, and you don't know how many you have left aside from "magazine is heavy" or "magazine is light" (or if you're in deep shit, "magazine is very light"). Maps are huge and tactics are usually the deciding factor; kills/deaths aren't even displayed on the scoreboard to encourage teamwork, not running amok on your own and fucking it up for everyone else. Everything is as close to realistic as you'll see in a WWII shooter, and the game plays out completely differently.

Don't ever compare RO to CoD again.

Look at the video you posted, 43 left of the video, tell me that isnt "run and gun". If it was "stragetic" he would have thrown a grenade or slowly ran up and hid.

Americans army is "realistic" and evolves more strategy than RO.

Dude, you clearly haven't seen a lot of WWII footage. And, not to mention, not every class has grenades. The tank and squad commander classes for both sides have smoke grenades, but no explosives.

You may not have noticed, but people don't always use their ironsights in war. Trench clearing is more or less just spamming lead from the hip; the difference is that in RO that is very rare and there's no crosshair to make it ridiculously easy. I've killed PPSh spammers at point-blank range with a K98 before, and considering I own RO and DoD and have played CoD, I would think I'd know.

There is a glitch in RO if you fire the PPSh from the hip for about 20 shots and reload, you have about zero recoil.

And I have a naturally good aim anyways, so almost all of my non-iron shots hit.

I just find it funny, alot of the action in the video you posted to show the game, is COD style. Its fast paced like you said. Its "stragetic" like you said. However ever game has some level needed of course.

That's your framerate. I rarely get recoil at all because mine's always under 25... that's also why sometimes players spin around like mad.

Typically the CoD players who ask "where's the crosshair" and spam for all they're worth are the first to die. Usually at the hands of some random with a simple bolt-action... the bolt-action rifles shit over all else in most maps.

No, I don't believe it is my frame rate. My frames are in the 70s (yay for GeForce 7800GT). It is a glitch. I have done it on Lyes Krovy, Stalingrad Kessel, KonigzPlatz, and other maps.

My primary firearm is the SVT-40. No other gun in the game can compare with its versatility, not even the G43.
