Picked it up this afternoon - mainly to see how my newly pieced together frankencomputer would react to a new game.
I wasnt expecting much, but it turns out I was surprised. While it most definately has that cheesy MoH feel, its fun. Those of you that played the first demo level, the AAA map, as I did - the game has only gotten better than that so far.

It's a lot of fun, but it crashes too often for me. I'm on the last Brit mission. I played a little on-line last night and enjoyed that too. Maybe I was just lucky, but the on-line part of the game seemed more stable.
-
Just tried online myself... too Quake for me. Ill stick to RO for multiplayer.
-
It does have some neat "movie" scenes, but its quite straight forwarded game, which makes it boring IMO.
Too limited options to do something
-
I have been looking COD everywhere in the store and could not find one. :(
-
Keeps locking up during the first 15 seconds of the mission after the car chase thing...

COD is the most fun I have had in an action game in quite some time.
Definetly better than Halo and Max Payne 2.

Sounds like a driver problem..
I suggest reinstalling of your hardware drivers (and uninstall driver first if possible)
So that pretty much means reinstalling of graphics driver, sound driver and possibly also VIA & DX9.

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.
-
Engine/Liet you sniping bastage! Good job on Kiev map tonight. I was able to sneak underground and cap you from behind once. Damn I love Red Orchestra!!! :)
For those who like CoD, do yourself a favor and pick up UT2003 for $20 and download RO mod. Best WWII game I've ever played...and I've played them all. Amazing it's still just a beta.
-
hehe, I dodged Makarov's bullets, charged him, and gave him a good bayonet skewering tonight :D I was pleased.

Figures, all the sneaky RO players turn out to be AHers. :)

HEY!... I'm not sneaky. But I've been having a a real BLAST in RO!
Hey Saur/Engine... ya'll find that bug in Berlin yet? It may have been fixed with the last patch. I've only "used" it once, but I accidentally found a spot where if you "go prone" while crouched you can fall into a mound of debrie. Nobody can see you but you can shoot normally lol. Probably had 60kills before I ran outta ammo... Germans just kept comin.. more and more of'em! Ya I know it was cheap but hey, you only get lucky once hehe.
-
How does RO play? Like DOD? MOH? How's the weapon selection and are there a lot of people playing?
-
As I write this my clan the 1stSF is writing the realism mods for CoD --we will have our server switched over from MOHAA to CoD within a month --we are a tactical realism clan and it will have the basic Mods we have run in MOH---No RanG and pee pee dancing --weapons mods will fix both damage models and recoil-- we will also NOT run the kill cam......Our test server is up and running now and it should be unlocked by this weekend if not before,,Look for the 1stSF name on the server. If you are interested in joining/forming a tact clan let us know, we are trying to promote this form in CoD also.

stiehl, RO by far has the most realistic feel to WWII combat of any of the WWII games I've played. All aiming is done with ironsights. Sure you can shoot without them but unless you have an SMG close up it's hard to hit anything. Long range rifle shots are great. Looking down the sights looks very much like the real thing. They put a lot of effort into getting the weapons as realistic as possible. None of that fast-paced Quake style of MoHAA or DoD. Your run time is limited and you have to rest between sprints to run again. The heavy-breathing effect is cool. Also no bunny hopping. :)
I've been playing this mod non-stop, online since it came out 3-weeks ago. That's more than I can say about many games I've paid $50 for.
-
Picked it up today, goes in tonight...friend mooched it via WinMx and is loving it

BAH! You bastard! Messing with my whole routine. :D
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:

Something to wet your appetite.

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? :D

eh... not sure if I agree with OpFlash being categorized like that.

that name 5uXX0rz!!!11 ghey... until they actually model a flyable sturmovik anyway.
I'm all for an AH squad in RO... just need a better name! :D
-
So do I need Unreal 2003 or 2004 to play? I'm a wicked FPS player, maybe we can start an AH squad... eh maybe not... but hope to see you folks soon.
Give some additional information for those who would like to join the fray with familiar faces.
-Thanks
-
you will need Unreal Tournament 2003 to play. UT 2004 isn't out yet.

Guess I could give it a try. I get 55/11 60/9 (last night)scores on DOD without camping. As long as it's realistic I would probably enjoy it.
I didn't have trouble with the 2 COD demos(radeon 9600) what's the problem with ati cards?
