Red Orchestra 2

I'm finding that a lot of people have no idea how to tell Germans and Russians apart. I keep getting shot at by my own guys.

This is true, gotta look at what colour they are wearing (yellowish or greyish) and if they are holding there weapon with one or two hands ;)

Red Orchestra always had it's fair share of Team killers,but that was mostly because the scale of the maps were very wide and unless you have superman vision you had no way of knowing that tiny pixel miles away is a teammate. For RO2 it looks like about people are still to use to the "shoot first..questions later" mentality. Since people are so used to teammates having they're names shown they assume anyone that doesn't is an enemy.

Woot! 40K POSTS:D

[QUOTE="wis3boi"] I've noticed that sometimes it doesnt display friendly names over a person's head, so if you glance quick or see a silhouette in the distance, its hard to tellMyopicCanadian

[QUOTE="Wasdie"] Maybe because I'm a vet of the series I don't have that problem. I can tell the difference between a running German and a running Soivet solider. The german has the gun in one hand, the Soviet uses both.

244m is pretty sick! Good job!

I think 96 is my highest so far :P

This game is turning out to be a complete disaster. The TWI forums are flooded with problems, issues, and RO veterans posting. It is basically in Alpha stage. Even the beta looked, and played better with less issues. I feel sorry, because I like it, and want to enjoy it..DevilMightCry

Not at all. And forums of all new games are just going to be of whiners. All the people who like it are playing it.

Exactly, forums on the internet are ALWAYS full of people complaining on release, most hte people who are having fun either are busy playing or dont care abotu forums. Hell even the most polished games still have page after page of people complaining.

Just wait a week or so, takes awhile to optimize the game for every type of hardware.

Got this today and thought this is awful,runs like a pig in mud,But after tweaking things a bit and smashing my head on the desk got it running ok....and it is a great game,serious but fun and that is what games should be.It has problems,and should have been fixed before release but it'll be sorted.

While I am sure that Tripwire will solve all of the problems (software development is a difficult enterprise), they should have simply delayed the game to spare people the trouble and frustration. Now they have the lost the trust and goodwill they once enjoyed, simply because they released a product before it was truly ready. These crashes are not simply bugs - they are major problems preventing people from playing the game. And it's such a pity to see so many people here making excuses for them just because they are the "little guy" that promotes hardcore PC gaming - would you buy a car in which the brakes are clearly not functioning? That is against the law, and it should be against good form that a piece of software gets released with so many bugs. It doesn't bode well.

I cancelled my pre-order once I heard about problems cropping up in the beta so close to release. I'll get RO2 when it's on sale and completely stable. Nothing against the game particularly, but all of these bugs I hear about are inexcusable.

GG kozzy,,had some great matches. and lol@ the guy that tried to jump into a window with me right next to it :lol:lawlessx

LOL, that was hilarious, some great teamwork those games great times :)

Im glad they released it as me and a bunch of friends are having a blast. It has its issues but nothign game breaking imo.

If they would have delayed it I would not get to play it now :P

Tripwire will be fine, they have been known to patch up there games and add content for years after, doubt this will hurt there image much if any.

There have been far worse launches for games that ive seen then this game. They seem to be patchign it up quick to, with two updates already.

Defiantly has its issues but the godo far out weigh the bad imo.

If they delayed it anymore it would bump into the big competition and would sell terribly. Also the only major bugs ive seen were today when they released the patch, but when I got home a few hours later they rolled it back and it was fine again.

This is an outrageously bad release, but I don't care, especially since I saw on the TW forums a random poster saying that TW announced somewhere around the forums their plans to make "mini expansion" DLCs for free with a WW1 theme, Vietnam and Pacific. Lots of games to play till they fix the game, till then maybe they'll even release some of the new content.

Speaking of which, just downloaded an identical patch to what I downloaded that broke the game :P probably the old game breaker that got fixed.

I'm sure TWI will get their act together. Their patching schedule shows that they want to recover from what was a pretty bad launch quickly. But I'm not buying the game until it goes on sale. Christmas, maybe?

"How about this for an analogy:

A car company sells a million cars.

For 850,000 people everything is great with the car.

For 100,000 the person put diesel in the gas tank but it was supposed to take unleaded, so the car won't run. They take it to the dealership, the dealership takes the diesel out and tells them to put unleaded in, the car runs fine.

For 45,000 people the car doesn't accelerate as fast as they thought it would. They take it into the dealership and they change the spark plugs, and then the car runs fine.

For 5,000 poeple, they can't get the car to start. They take it to the dealership to get fixed, or take it to the dealership and return the car."

The tripwire president said this in a thread with the same "car analogy", why do you related a game to a car anyways totaly different.

Yay for people not able to identify who are team mates, this was close up as well not a long distance TK.

I guess I am lucky to have only been TK'd about 3 times in all my time playing the Beta and the full game.

Getting accused of hacking from my bayonet charges.. come on :| Finish the job and I won't be able to do that :D Took a bullet to the arm, but bandaged.. and I bet the last thing they expected was for me to charge over the other side of the wall, stabbed two, and his buddy in a nearby house went full auto trying to kill me.. hit me to cause bleeding, but when he was out of ammo I ran in and stuck him like a pig. I succumbed to my wounds eventually...

Should I get this game now or wait until issues are resolved?

My first kill of the game was with Mosin Nagant at 65m on Commisars House. I shot once, missed, then the second pegged him. But I forgot about the delayed message and thought somebody snagged my first kill :P.

Right now my internet's being an erratic b**** and I'm getting 900 ping on the 9th Div SS server.

Also, is anyone else having an issue where sound suddenly cuts out after a while?

I think that might have something to do with the recent patch..i hope tripwire has noticed

Tonight the bugs made it so bad I couldn't even play. I kept getting stuck not spawning and spectating.

Just had an awesome game. Cant remember the map, but its a snowey one with a fountain in the center as an objective point. Anyway, me and about 5 other people were pinned down in and around the fountain from tons of MG fire. We managed to hold it off for a whole 5 minutes against most of the enemy team. Getting constantly bombarded with grenades and not being able to shoot much more than a single bullet back at them at a time was such a cool cinematic situation for me. Cant wait for the expansions.

haha, nice bud, so many great moments you can have in this game, played about 5 hours today, just had a blast.

Ran into Kozzy and I think there was lawlessx as well... good times. I'm sticking to the 32-man servers at least until the performance issues are alleviated :D

IGN is making a review and has a bit of it up right now. So far the reviewer said the online is a lot of fun but singleplayer is pretty bad. Probably a 7 or 7.5 incoming.

I think the game is a solid 8/10, though the game is incredibly addicting for me. If it wasn't for the bugs and small number of maps, I'd feel compelled to give the game an 8.5/10 at least. With a good single player mode (that isn't a glorified bot driven MP), I'd go 9.0. TBH, I find RO2 vastly more satisfying than anything out there, with maybe the exception of Battlefield 2. I think the bugs, graphics (not bad, just nothing special), and lack of overall content are what holds the game back. In regards to functional FPS game design, it's excellent, maybe the best ever concieved I think, it just feels so right for a highly realistic game.

The game is excellent, I haven't encountered many bugs. I just get the odd crash now and then.
