Anyone else who browse/use these forums regularily tried out this fabulous game?!?
I never played it whilst it was a Mod for unreal, But have to say i'm extremely impressed by this game, Its stickler for realism is second to none in the FPS market, they game draws you in & makes tactical play much more rewarding than say bf2.
Having no magical x-hair in the middle of your screen for aim & instead realing in Iron sight is another brainwave & makes for more intense gunfights.
As for tank battles they are totally brilliant, you can solo in a tank but it pays more dividend having a full crew, from being able move instantly after the commander has fired a round to getting a better position, reloading shortened with more crew memebrs & the usual 4-6 eyes are better than 2 for spotting enemy armour.
Defo a fair few bugs to be ironed out & perhaps adding a few 42-43 tank maps (Kursk) to show how dominant the Tigere I was during the early year, instead of it being out classed by the IS-2 ;-
I had he hopes for RO. I was getting tired of HL2 DM and thought i would try it.
Ro is the most disappointing game purchase. While it is a decent game in general, there are so many things i don't like, i doubt it will be played again.
Although i realize its new, there is a big imbalance between Vehicles and infantry. The dual maps are HUGE, leaving infantry either riding around and shooting or getting blown up by tanks. The infantry maps are better, but they reveal my biggest dislike, lack of detail and definition! I can't see S***!
Can't make whose the enemy unless i use binos. The graphics are really not that great and certainly not as crisp as COD1!
When you go prone or crouch, you have to toggle to stand and run instead of just jump up with space bar like COD. This sucks.
I don't have a big problem with the lack of crosshairs, but firing from the hip is fruitless all the toggling leaves you dead meat for camper snipers.
There are some folks who are already familiar with the maps and when i first started, i would just get killed and never see where it came from.
I will stick with COD2 MP which is faster, better looking and better sounding. For me, RO is like playing Counter strike in a gigantic map where you spawn miles from the action. Driving the APC is a drag because vision is so limited.
Srry, just don't like this game now, although i will try it some more. Don't see it competing with COD2 MP though.
