Then you realize that this is what war was like - heroes that stormed over an open plaza got killed in a few seconds and "the camper" has just acquired a tactical position that has to be dealt with.

After playing it for a few hours it's just awesome compared to all other FPS games out there. It's really different and much more like the original Operation Flashpoint etc - but with much more "condensed" battles where the enemy is not kilometers away... And the graphical improvements over Red Orchestra 1 are impressive. Some of the maps are just awesome with all the tiny details.

i was REALLY disapointed with RO2. i didnt play RO1, but i was all excited to finally have waht looked to be a realistic objecitve based, Teamwork WW2 shooter.

well, it all went way preatty fast. Quickscoping, ubber weapon accuarecy, combined with MW2 sized maps resulted with it being just another run 'n shoot everithing that moves.

GFX's wise it was also a let down. it suffers the same problem of AA3, looks good at close, but 25 meters way stuff looks out of focus.

I don't really agree on the uber accuracy part. I can shoot a paper figure in the head at 300 meters with a G3 (prone) even without a scope and the maximum kill range I've had in RO2 is 200 meters so not problems for me at least. I'm better IRL

I can agree that the maps are a bit small, but if I want big maps I play ARMA so this is a nice "quick option"...

Regarding the graphics I'm old and started playing on the Spectrum 16kb so I'm really not that picky even though I've played most major titles since 1984

True, but im preatty sure you cant hit a thign at 50 meters instantanely after zooming in your sights. that is, you need time to adjust your eye to tgunsight, 1 to 3 seconds. its not instantaneus.

arma, its too big. RO ist too small. 2x2 km would be my expectations.

Regarding graphics. im ok with "bad" graphics. waht it dont like at all is having multiple levels of quality in the same game. its like having bad CGI in a movie. looks ugly and unnatural.

this is the one i am waiting for, Iron Front Liberation 1944. a stand alone, made using a tweaked ARMA II engine, this will be special, if you havent seen it check out the trailer! big open spaces, is what i love, nearly everything else seems to be a rail shooter!
