Some days ago I read about a past offer on steam, Red Orchestra for $5. I missed it, so i had to pay $20, complete price.

I had my doubts, like with any other new and unknown title. What pushed me to buy it was a screenshot of a corpse hanging head-down with arms hanging.

The menu wasn't very much appealing, so looking for the first time the game's interface is not so impressive, until you start playing.

There is no single player, so you go straight to server choosing. Not many servers, even less with a good ping for me, but I went right in the first I could find.

You can choose between Allies and Axis, Russians and Germans, and you get to choose from different "classes", this determines the weapons and actions you can do. Rifleman is the only class without player cap, so obviously I had to go Rifleman.

The graphics look neat, I can play the game at max setting with full AA and AF. The sound is very impressive, all effects are pretty clear and help you a lot on the battlefield.

The hard part of the game is getting used to the movement and the amount of accuracy you need to shoot. This is nothing close to arcade shooters like Halo, or Team Fortress 2 massive shooting style. The standard rifle and all the models in the game are very close to real proportions and functionality, so you have to reload your weapon after each shot.

Like in real like, 1 rifle shot in your torso will most likely send you out of combat, dead. You can get injured, loose your weapon while getting shot, and be unable to run or even walk if they shoot your legs. This game can be very stressing, because everything feels so real and acts so realistic.

I'm already killing people, it's not easy at first, but if you pratice a bit with the rifle, stay back and try to kill enemies with your weapon you'll get the hang of it quick enough.

This is a very entertaining game, and for it's price I strongly recommend it to annyone that likes online shooters. The community is growing very fast, and the developers have release all kind of tools to mod the game, and there are already a couple mods that add new settings and items to this already very appealing game.

Have a good time and enjoy the game.
