If you're still bent about the 2.9 delay you must not own UT2003 or maybe you havent given RO a fair try yet. I have to say this because I havent been as excited about a mod as I am with RO since I tried Infiltration the first time. Its subtle how good this game can get. To be honest it didnt make a striking first impression. But after a few tweaks and having played the various maps a few times with good teams I can honestly say this is my favorite mod released in the last two years. Maybe its just me but this game has tons of upside and offers my favorite FPS action nowadays. Hope to see more INFers online. Any INF fan ought to really test the waters here not merely skim the surface.
Red Orchestra is awesome!

uuh there's no doubt RO is good. But it's not that good. Of course it's beautiful, but that's pretty much all. It's not really original. Nothing Inf or TTR, or DoD haven't done before. For a version beta it's really nice. But it could use some work. The HUD is poor. There's no way you can tell who controls what (like the flags in DoD). The map in the new version is a nice idea. But a compass would be better 
Otherwise, the maps are a bit too small and simple. It'd really like long range battles or mad urban fights. Their outdoor levels are too small and their streets too wide for me

And this differs from real life how?
Also, when you show me a soldier from the 40s with a compass built into his skull, I'll support your request. The HUD should represent nothing more than what a person instinctively knows.
The maps are damn confusing until you get to learn them, so usually half the team don't have a clue what to do (very bad). The game also suffers from the usual legacy of UT sound problems, the positional sound is a joke, trying to hear where someone is coming from is almost impossible. Even your own characters movement seems to be coming from somewhere else
But apart from those problems, I reckon its a really nice mod, a nasty bug with the weapon accuracy at the moment, but that also can be ignored. Seems to play a lot better than DoD anyway.

jaunty, i've never said it has to be real
RO is not really aiming for maximum realism either. I'm sure a little indicator on the HUD would help a lot.

RO is a great mod. Does it play as realistically as Rav2? ....... No, after you see the circle strafe dance of death when two bolt action rifleman meet you'll see why.
yep this "dance of death" looks pretty weird, much like a love parade between aroused apes... Nonetheless, when you play online with the right kind of people (means=not those who flood with delicacies like OMFG this is GAY, STFU u NOOB, im not spawncamping u SH*THEAD) you can get some interesting teamplay. Besides, the game looks gorgeous. Surely worth a go, in addition, Inf fans have an advantage playing this mod (i've been surprised myself to see how irrationally some players behave in this mod and how they are deprived of any tactical sense )
)
For the most part I know which way is N,S,E,W. If you don't then you have no sense of direction. If I'm going into a new area and get to look at a map before hand(which I'm sure a soldier would) I'd be prepaired as well.
I've only got two problems with it. One, the scope bob should have the picture *in* the scope bob as well, and two, the guy in the game is more out of shape than a seven hundred pound couch potato...he can sprint for almost no distance. That might be okay, if the recharge rate on his sprint ability was decent, but as it seemed, once he ran out of sprint, it took even less to get him winded again. If you thought the stamina drain in the latest RAv2 was bad, play RO and suffer
On an off-topic note, it's nice to see people using the acronym "RO" and not refering to Ragnarok Online.

It looks and plays like every other WW2 game...the only difference is that you have the germans vs the Russians. Okay, that may be a big difference, but it doesn't feel any different 
I played some online today. After playing, I think I would rather play BF1942. I hate not being able to choose weapons. I was always stuck with some automatic which works great indoors if you can ever make it indoors alive. You usually get sniped by some guy with a rifle. It feels like you aren't getting anywhere. You keep going at the objectives, and dying in the process. It really ends up being TDM, and INF has done all that can be done with that. Maybe if the weapons were random, it would add to it. So some guy can't hog the sniper rifle for the entire map. I don't know, with maps that large, it is nice to have a map like in BF1942 so you can see where your guys are, to give them backup. I can't stand to read through all the chat spam, and I hardly consider the chat to replace the radio. Since you don't have commanders and radios, a map makes up for it. There's also a few bugs too that make things deceiving. Maybe after a few more patches, I'll check back.
