[QUOTE="dc337"]

Another WWII shooter? Ugh....I don't think I'm capable of playing another one.

What I want is a WWI MMO. Planes, tanks, ground troops, everything.

FGMPR

I'm sure sitting in a trench waiting to be slaughtered in a 30 second sprint to oblivion with an unloaded rifle, whilst suffering from severe dysentery would make for a killer game.

Trust me, WW1 was VERY mobile in the Easternfront and teh Middle Eastern theater. And in 1914 the armies where always trying to out flank eachother. In 1918, there where majour breakthroughs left and right all over the (like the Last German Offensive).

Haha fair enough. I'll take you're word for it, as you are obviously much more knowledgeable in the subject than I am:)

Yeah I don't know if people realize that there is a reason why developers are avoiding certain settings. What would a WW1 FPS offer that a WW2 FPS can't? It'd be the same but worse basically.

leap?plus all I see is terrible graphics and art. killzowned24

The problem appears to be that that's all you're looking at. If all you want is pretty graphics then go watch Avatar.

a question to everyone complaining about another WW2 shooter. What was the last GOOD ww2 shooter that came out? everyone thinks WW2 is overly played out now and that may of been true a few years ago but right now WW2 seems fresh to me compared to these modern day shooters that are coming out left and right.

] 720p upscaled at 1080p is good enough for me, i can understand if you are running it at 2500, but or else there isnt a big difference. Low res what, almost everything is low res in bc2, i know they are there, but i can only notice them if i pay attention to them, needless t osay, those blocky shadows in the rock pile 100 m away from me isnt going to grab my attention when tanks are shooting me in the ass.' My friends play the 360 version thats good enough to be the superior version for me. ;) Sandvichman

you need to accept the fact that the pc version in significant better

360 version

  • 1280x720
  • 0xAA and 0xAF
  • 25-30fps
  • medium setting
  • small FOV (field of view)
  • 24 players max
  • no dedicate servers
  • controller

PC version

  • 1920x1200
  • 4xAA and 16xAF
  • 60fps
  • high setting
  • large FOV (field of view)
  • 32 players max
  • dedicate servers
  • k/m

I don't know. There haven't been a good full blown WWII shooter for half a decade, longer if you only count realistic ones. First RO1 still felt too much like a mod after all.

To me, the setting seems very fresh nowadays.

Anyways to the ww2 fanboys here, I get it, it has something a little different but it still doesn't interest me. If you guys like it then that's ok it's your opinion.

To be honest it looks like another plain WW2 shooter. Unless someone can tell me what's so special about this game then any other ww2 fps.

Yeah, because every ww2 fps has no cross hair, no ammo counter, a fully function cover system and total focus on realism in how you play right?

Does it mean it makes it better? Some fps has some of those features and they were still boring. But we will wait and see if the game is good. If it's fun then it's a good game.

Ok fine I shouldn't have used that. I was talking about the people who responded to my comments in a rude tone. Sorry about that, if you like ww2 fps then I have no problems with that.

BTW to Brownesque

If you don't like my comments then too bad. That's my opinion.

you really need to play red orchestra to fully understand what's it doing differently and why people are hyped for it's sequel. For me playing RO for the first time like playing a first person shooter for the first time. almost everything i've learned from playing call of duty,halo,battlefield,etc..were almost completely useless and it took me weeks of playing to figure out how keep a decent K/D

I did try out the first one a while ago and to be honest I wasn't a big fan of the game. Now maybe the second one might be better so I will give it a chance.

But do those fps have all of them integrated at once though? And not many of them are even realistic, let alone try to be, at least this game is trying with some others and may push the genre in someways. we'll see.

It will be better for someone who appreciates that type of gameplay. Ultimately it's subjective, though you can't deny the quality. I think the important part is that it's different, something for the gamers who don't want another mainstream shooter that has to appeal to a broad range of people.

Its been "World at War sucked, I can't believe they went back to WW2 I can't wait for Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 2 sucked I can't wait for Bad Company 2, eh I liked Call of Duty better, Black Ops in November! Ok Black Ops sucked, Homefront will be the best fps ever" Then someone comes along and says "Red Orchestra 2 looks like a unique experience" and people respond "Ew its WW2 that's so overdone.":roll: It's lulzy.

mentioning it in every RO related thread pretty much killed it.
