It's Decent, but I've seen better.

Just to add few things.

Good

Iron sight – no cross hair in this game
Authentic weapons – each performs as should with good sound effects.
Damage model – It takes only one bullet to kill (depends on cal, distance, etc)
Human like movements – no bunny happin' counter strike sh%t here,
Maps – most beautiful maps I’ve seen in any mod
TeamKill – Makes it more challenging when you have to ID enemy by uniform. Sever that I play allows 3 TKs. If other player forgives you for TK then you can kill more then 3 (affects score, officer -6 points, -4 MG, -2 solder)
Balance – each side gets certain amount of unit types, so entire server is not full of snipers and MG.
Mission objective – each map has its objectives so this is not just a death match.

Bad

Servers - few good servers, (only server I play is (CiA))
Tanks – damage model sucks but sometimes are fun to just mess around.
Bugs – couple bugs are still in the game but they are not show stoppers.

Err, the maps are some of the worst things about RO.

Can you link me to what is better?

You know you have to work on your maps when a half assed community map is 20x better then an official map.

So something that isn't even out yet and you haven't played is better due to screenshots?

Fanboys.

Theres more to a game than maps, those can always been added or changed

So I guess you jumped ship. You used to post on RO forums like JB73 does here.

Infiltration vs RO

Mabye if they released a UT24k version

lasersailor184 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 16, 2004, 09:48:36 AM »

There has yet to be anything released retail or fan made that has topped Infiltration yet.

Btw, TTR is already out for Unreal Tournament. It's the next generation version that's not out yet.

The maps are the pivotal point of ***ANY*** game. What is Aces High without a map? What is Half Life 2 without a map?

Btw, it wasn't only the maps that sucked, but the graphical glitches too.

RO is a great mod if you enjoy more historically accurate FPS combat and not the bunny-hoppin' stuff. It's well worth purchasing UT2K4 just for this mod.

The map is fundamental to an FPS. If it's totally unbalanced or completely unplayable, it becomes a chore very quickly.

I played infiltration for UT2000. Back then there was nothing better then Inf, now there is. Also Inf is a deathmatch, that gets boring very quickly.

ThirdReich? If it’s not out, how can I play it?

And what is wrong with community made maps? Is there a rule that maps must be made only by mod developers?

lasersailor184 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2004, 02:15:57 PM »

The point was that when a Half-assed! community map far outshines any official map, you know you have a problem.

BTW, TTR was out for UT99. In production of the next one, they decided to switch from the Ut2k4 engine to the Torque engine.

And if you think that INF is only deathmatch, you need to wake up and actually play it.

Edit: I have no idea why I capitilized "assed".
