I think that was more or less a rhetorical reviewer comment than fact. At least when i read it i treated it as fluff. RO's placement in the MSU contest and decent volume of players (as UT2004 mods go lately) means that they probably reached that potential long ago.

i dunno i downloaded the mod and..well...it sucked!
why can't we play as US soldiers?????
plus all that russian lettering on maps and stuff- how are we supposed to understand that?
give us more animations (nice ones) bigger player models and the ability to play as us troops or even brotish forces and maybe THEN we will have a DESCENT mod.
as for now, it just sucks sorry to say :/
good luck "improving" it RO team...

That was one of the most horrifying reasons to dislike a mod i have ever read. It makes the people who call every modern shooter a CS clone look like einstein. You can't play as US soldiers because their mod emulates the Eastern front of WW2, which up until their release was scarcely touched by most WW2 shooters. Oh yea, all that Russian lettering you refer to, that would be because the map takes place in Russia. Smart ass.
I can understand why you were banned from the moddb forums now, and it's clear that their community wasn't the problem but you instead.

I godda agree with squirrel.
For one, in RO your fighting on the wrong front to see US and british troops. (And imho at least it's a deviation from the norm where it's allies vs. axis - DoD, CoD, TTR, MOH series etc)
Again as squirrel said, don't you think it'd be a touch strange if the russians had english signs? As for the rest of the things you didn't appreciate... well thats you own choice, but it's still a bit silly.

thanks for taking ur time to comment dub...at leats you understand and aint quick to jump to conclusions.
now that u've explained everything i realize i was just blind and couldn't see the games real intent.
but still,the mod's kinda rough round the edges...
i'd take frag.ops over RO any given time...
to each their own i guess

Can't really compare the 2, FO and RO are great mods in their own rights. IMHO both reached their "potential" with the latest releases, both including vehicles coincidently...
If you didn't care for the last version I don't see that you'll like this one too much, I just wanted to throw my 2cents into the pool. The vehicles can admittadly be frustrating as it takes like an hour just to reload the tank, I still prefer platoon based maps. Though RO does have the large open maps that FO should've had for the war gametype.
Caravaggio said:
IIRC, it takes 15 seconds (Russian T-34) and 12 seconds (German Panzer IV) respectively, to reload the tanks. There was some debate in the community about these times and as they relate to gameplay (longer reloads mean you have to make your shots count) and reality (veteren crews could reload a tank in under 10 seconds easy). So they might change, especially considering neither vehicle is actually finished.
I agree with your first statement though. If you generally haven't liked RO in the past, then you probably won't feel any different about the latest versions.
pff ... a game without decent bot-support definitely shouldn't get a 9 out of 10 in 'reviews'. So a big 'Ha' at the so called 'tougher' review-policy on that site ...
Don't bother getting this mod if you can't play on-line :
The bots still are as dumb and ignorant as Bush.

JaFo, your last line is kind of funny since the second I saw you bring up bots I was wondering when you were going to put up a "bot for president!" sig.
