Hey, Sardaukar, I saw you on an RO server tonight. It was Spartakovka and you were PPS sniping from the ally, and I kept sniping you.
I go by the name Liet there. Lookin forward for RO to become more polished, it's awesome.
BAH! You bastard! Messing with my whole routine.
The Germans just fill that alley after they spawn - its kind of like the Omaha map for DoD - unless you advance its a turkey shoot - no cover and nowhere to run to.
MiniD - RO = Red Orchestra. Check it out here:

If you liked the direction DoD took FPS's after Counterstrike, youll love where the RO team has taken the DoD type game. Alot of AHers play Operation Flashpoint - RO makes OpFlash, DoD, and any other 'realistic' infantry simulator look like an arcade game.
They also have plans to add vehicles, heavy weapons (MG's, mortors, AT, etc), and voice support with UT2004.
Considering that the mod is only a 3 week old Beta, its amazing. It needs some polish here and there which will come with time - but at the very least, its better than 90% of the retail games out there.
Tumor - no - havent found that bug yet. The only 'bug' I can find consistantly (thats bad) is the weapon change bug. After throwing a grenade the game gives me some difficulty switching back to my primary weapon.
Stiehl - There are a good number of people playing (30+ servers since launch with more added every day). The weapons selection is outstanding for an initial beta. All major Soviet and German weapons are available. As for comparison, see above. If you need some evidence of the mod's potential, several DoD clans have already switched over.
When was the last time the DoD team released a patch or an update? 7 months? The RO team has been pumping out updates to solve problems withing days of discovery - its really quite extraordinary.
So RO geeks - we gonna start an AH squad or what? The Sturmovik's or something?
