Anyone play it? Any good ?
-
Yes, Red Orchestra is pretty good.
ack-ack
-
It's Decent, but I've seen better.
-
RO is the only FPS I play....
- SimFreak

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?
:rolleyes: 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 :rofl Mabye if they released a UT24k version
-
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?
:rolleyes:
-
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".

You can tell me all day long how much RO “sucks” but I still enjoy it.

There ya go! Doesn't matter if a game sucks as long as you like playing it.
I have never played it, but it looks pretty cool.

Downloading it now. 1 hour until the moment of truth. :D

First thing go off-line and practice shooting at targets and throwing grenades. I hate when new people kill them self and take out half of team by cooking grenade in their hand. First time it’s funny (especially when I’m on the other team) but then it gets annoying.
Important things to know
F1 = score and reinforcement info. If reinforcement % gets to 0% then team cannot spawn.
O = (O (Oscar) key, not zero key) shows mission objective.
Y = speak to team mates. Don’t use “T” to give out mission critical info
Middle mouse button = to aim using iron sight
When you logged into server, press F7 to select side and select F8 to select class.
When online, if you kill friendly, make sure to say that you are sorry. Most people do not give “np” (forgiveness) if you stay quite. If no “np”, 3 TK = kick from server.
I hope you enjoy this mod as I do.

Is there a site, readme, or part of the game that I can make a list of the hotkeys for the game ?

I don't know about listing for all commands but in options you can change any key in game.

cc, thanks.

RO is a great game. Maps can always be made or updated. It's the game that counts. The models and game mechanics are awesome, we'll deserving of the contest wins so far.
Enjoy those screenshots sailor. I'm sure HL20 will be better.
-
Something like this?

Oh, did I mention the graphical glitches?
There's a good chance if you have an Nvidia card that you'll get rainbow, sometimes blank textures. There's nothing you can do about this.

You again? I run RO during LAN parties and I’ve never had any machine flashing textures or rainbows. How about laying off drugs m8?

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm,
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire,
Where my white-haired uncle waits.
Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the Borderline.
Run like the wind,
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime...
Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge...
Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.
Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.
Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside
