Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: VOR on June 20, 2005, 03:05:26 PM: I was so impressed by the concept and the trailer that I bought UT2004 so I could play. Anyone out there have a preferred server that's willing to teach me the ropes?

Post by: Dowding on June 20, 2005, 03:07:55 PM: It's my favourite FPS by far, with BF2 a close second. I also bought UT2004 just to play it. I'd help out, but I only play Euro servers.

Post by: DiabloTX on June 20, 2005, 03:12:18 PM: Hey VOR, I'd like to give R.O. a chance as well. Let me go get UT04 and we can find a server. I haven't done a FPS WWII game since MOH:AA and I would like to do that again.

Post by: Makarov9 on June 20, 2005, 03:46:31 PM: Been playing it since first beta. Keeps getting better every release. BF2 has me by the balls right now but I'll get back to RO in a few weeks.

Post by: VOR on June 21, 2005, 07:05:09 AM: Hawklore, you can find it online for about 20 bucks. I paid retail before I knew about that.

I played last night on the CiA server for a while and had a blast. It's a totally different online game than say CoD or BF1942.

I've never seen weapons modeled in a game to such meticulous and accurate detail (but the recoil on some of the SMGs is a little too pornounced). It's pretty immersive.

It also comes with built-in voice comms, but for some reason nobody on the servers I played on actually used them. Dunno why.

Post by: DiabloTX on June 25, 2005, 12:03:35 PM: Not yet VOR, its a matter of having the time to get it and be able to play it right now.

Will post when I do get it.

What's the best site to get the mod from?
Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: Hawklore on June 25, 2005, 12:37:49 PM: Yeah VOR..

I joined up with the L.O.G.

It took my effort to get to their forums and sign up with their forum and stuff..

It stands for League of Gentleman, I just hope they stand up to be nice guys..

Check out the RO ladder for North American units..

I'd join the 13th Panz but Im more into russian.

Post by: VOR on June 25, 2005, 12:38:21 PM: Here's the link I used:
http://www.fz.se/filarkiv/?file=spel/ut2004/red_orchestra/RO_32_FullInstall.exe

It's a european ftp, but it's the only one I found that didn't require some form of registration. It took me about an hour to DL it with a cable modem.

I may have found a good historical-based squad to join. Gonna give it a try and let you know. Looks to be a promising alternative to having to put up with leet-speak and getting cussed out by 12 year old kids.

Post by: Hawklore on June 25, 2005, 12:40:04 PM: TTR

The third Reich is supposedly another good mod..
Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: lasersailor184 on June 25, 2005, 04:46:38 PM: =) TTR. And I'm sort of a half retired, half still in LOG member. I don't play RO, so you won't ever see me there.

Small world...

Post by: DiabloTX on June 25, 2005, 09:53:51 PM: Alright VOR, I have my hot little copy in my comp loading now. Next, RO mod install!!!!

Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: VOR on June 26, 2005, 01:01:05 PM: Had a chance to try it out yet?
Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: DiabloTX on June 26, 2005, 07:56:42 PM: I have RO but now I need the patch 3555. I have that too but its in zip format and my winzip program expired. I thought it was freeware?
Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: VOR on June 26, 2005, 08:54:43 PM: If u have windows xp, get rid of winzip. U don't need it anymore. Reassociate the file type with your windows zipper.
Title: Red Orchestra
Post by: DiabloTX on June 27, 2005, 12:41:39 AM: Ok, got it patched and played a little practice single player. Have to be honest, I am not that impressed with the graphics so far but I have only scratched the surface. Will soldier on...
