What do you guys prefer, manual or auto bolt fire? What's the difference?
RED ORCHESTRA 2 THREAD ALSO SINCE IT'S ON SALE
I like manual even though you're just making the game harder for yourself
Manual, makes it easier to see if you hit someone before the fuckhuge cycle animation
You also save a round when you put in a new clip and your current one isn't empty yet
>>272864646
Manual also has a faster cycle rate compared to automatic bolting
>>272864752
how the fuck does manual make it harder
it's faster and more flexible
manual is quicker
also feels good man
I wish more games had RO2 weapon positioning mechanics (when you are looking over some obstacle you automatically stabilize your aim by resting weapon on it), and ammo count info provided by how heavy the magazine feels / how many rounds are in the chamber. But it only makes sense in tacticool shooters, and there aren't many of those anyways.
Goddamn does the rifle fucking feel good.
>one-shot kills
>excellent range
>decent hip fire if you're not shit
>*click*
>manual bolting
look at all these bolt action plebs
schmeisser master race
Did Tripwire just announce that RO2 will get the Western Front aswell? Holy shit if true.
>>272864646
Manual is the only way to play.
>>272866859
No, they said they're never going to do it and to play the mod for it instead.
>>272866931
Can't they just add the mod with a patch and make it official? I think they've done it for some custom maps already.
>>272866931
What's the word on the vietnam mod?
>>272866982
They could, but Tripwire have been pretty full retard on just about everything to do with RO2. Semi-retard, maybe.
>>272867016the bird
>>272867016
They're making standalone version, independent from Tripwire and RO2. It'll be made on UE4.
>>272867161
Shame Vietnam scene is boring as fuck. Oh boy can't wait for another Rising Storm but with M16's instead.
>>272867494
how can one man have such shit taste?
I implore you to pick this up while on sale. It is worth it, see picture for longevity play time
>>272867551
>boring helicopters instead of airplanes and tanks
>boring Vietnam fucking shits instead of Ruskies and Nazis
>boring weapons instead of the variety in WW2 scene
>boring shitty jungle and river maps instead of varied WW2 maps
How can one man actually like that shit?

>>272868120
You in any Steam groups? What server you play on? I have 100 hours played and I still feel like a beginner.
Rifleman all day everday
Only class I have at max, I just loot other weapons if I need them
>>272867161
Probably the best thing that could have happened.
Unlocking new weapons is way too fucking slow.
my game is stuck at 99% on the last update all day, what do?
Auto is disgusting. Manual is so satisfying.
It's also useful.
Alright, asking again.
Trying to get a copy of Rising Storm GOTY through trading for a friend so we can shoot Germans and Americans together.
I don't have much. All I can offer is a Nosgoth beta key and 8 cards. I think he has about 12 cards I could also offer plus I think he has some TF2 and Dota2 items that I think are sellable.
Would anyone be interested in helping us out?
>>272871570
The game is like 5 Euro. Just how underage are you?
I got this game free awhile ago but I heard the free version is gimped. Is this true?
>>272871693
I'm 23 but a month without a job means I'm out of bullshit money.
Buddy's in school so he has no income whatsoever.
Hey, it's with a shot. If you don't wanna help, don't give me shit please.
>>272871794
Don't know about that but if you didn't get Rising Storm then you're only able to play pacific front matches as a bolt-action rifleman
>>272871794
Why would it be? It's possible you didn't get Rising Storm with it so you can only play Rifleman in RS servers. Which is completely viable.
>>272871858
I could buy it for you but i don't trust you.
>>272871928
That's fine. Appreciate the thought, really.
>>272871858
If you're 23 and you honestly don't have five fucking Euro to spend, then you really shouldn't be playing videogames.

the only gimping you can have as far as I know is the Rising Storm one mentioned earlier
if you wanna check just go into the Rising Storm store page

Then again that applies to your own team as well.

The tutorial is bugged. After you try out long range shooting you can't advance.
>>272872729
I did the whole tutorial the other day. Did they patch it? I just got the game so wouldn't know.
>>272872696
Oh, well I'm sure I'll enjoy my prolonged stay at the bottom of the learning curve for this wonderful multiplayer-focused experience as I continuously get my anus turned inside out by the players who have put hundreds of hours into the game.
It'll be like Counter-Strike all over again
>>272872832
I guess so. I got through the tutorial just fine, but once the briefing for the next mission started, it took a major shit on my system.
>>272872832
Yeah the probably did. I played it 2 years ago and then just moved onto multiplayer.
Wait, Red Orchestra 2 has single player campaign?
Manual bolting.
It's faster and also more fun
>>272872901
The game is easy, you either #yolo rape everyone from the back with ppsh and bare hands when you run out of ammo or camp somewhere in grass or some building.
Pretty stupid you don't get a bigger discount if you already own RO2, since you get it "for free" if you buy RS
>>272873332
Tripwire knows how to reward their early supporters.
>>272871858
you shouldnt be wasting time playing games if you cant even scrape 5 euro together you dumb faggot
Picked this up the other day.
It takes a while to get good. Sure I can rush objectives with my squad, but im really struggling to get gud with my k 98.
I really wanna try marksman, but my shit pc means the spots are always taken before I can get in the spot.
>>272871570
Wow, you've been in every RO2 thread I have seen the last few days. Coincidence? I don't think so. Stop making these threads to beg like a piece of shit.
>>272873567
thanks dad
>>272873737
I'm in this one tonight. I was in one last night. These are the only two I've been in and I certainly didn't make the threads. Not exactly begging since I'm offering stuff, even though it is a long shot. Stay mad, though.

You're saying I already have RS if I have RO2?
But I'm locked to just rifleman right?
>>272873737
OP here. I'm not that faggot. I even called him out for being a cheap piece of shit who can't scrape together pocket money for fifth-graders.
Did they fix the stuttering?
>>272879263
Yes
>>272877435
The fact that TW hasnt patched window collision boxes is infuriating.
Throwing a grenade out a window is always a gamble, but I've found aiming straight along your armand throwing it a foot or two away from the window works alot more often
I bought RO2 when it came out back in '11, however it was a major dissappointment then. Too many hackers, pixel warfare, guns way too accurate that shouldn't be (submgs I'm looking at you), and cover being completely meaningless making it COD. I enjoyed RO1 alot more ima.
>>272880253
I've experienced none of those things since i started last july
>>272880253
it's much better than it was but if you like RO1 and want some thing a bit different the darkest hour mod still pulls a server or two of people at night
>>272868120
I'd play but servers in my country are practically dead.
It's the saddest thing about good multiplayer games
>>272871570
fuck off beggar. if you can't afford it you cant play it. 23 years old and cant afford a video game, what a horribly unfunny joke.
Why is manual bolting better?
>>272881620
read the fucking thread faggot
>>272871570
Manual bolt is better because it gives you the illusion you're not playing casual trash, while you are actually playing COD-tier casual trash.
>>272868125
You know nothing about the vietnam conflict and have the imagination of a 12 year old cowadooty addict.
>>272865446
>I wish more games had RO2 weapon positioning mechanics (when you are looking over some obstacle you automatically stabilize your aim by resting weapon on it)
Fuck, I wish Insurgency at least had it. I hate feeling like I have to take foregrip and heavy barrel if I want to be even remotely accurate when firing full-auto.
>>272866931

Insurgency just feels too small. It needs 64 players to capture that team feeling.
So how are the vehicle maps? I want to get back into RO2 again.
>>272882760
I like them but noone plays them. If you mean the 100% vehicles maps
>>272881821

What stuttering?
>>272883154
>each game is supposedly 8GB each
>they combine it into one "app" so you have to download 24GB to play the one you want
Fucking retarded. Why can't they just separate the two?
>>272883384
It stutters like shit. I don't know I have a decent rig (a 2500k and a 760) and the game stutters no matter the settings, and even while non of the hardware is maxed (CPU and GPU are used at 60% or so, not even a CPU core is maxed). A lot of people have this problem but tripwire don't want to fix it and spout shit like "verify cache" "delete ini" "buy another computer" etc...
This game looks like a game from 2005, I don't see why it would run like shit. I don't have any problem with other games which all run flawlessly.
So while I sort of like RO2, I just can't stand playing it because it stutters like shit.
>>272883435
Because then you'll lose more than half of the servers since they are running combined
>>272883919

>>272884330
Wait, so if I want to reload I should do it BEFORE bolting the next round? Is that why I always seem to be reloading more bullets than I use?

>>272885756
>>272884765
It's funny, on free weekends with a fuckton of scrubs, the defenders on any map have a huge advantage. Normally, with people actually good at the game populating the server, the attackers have a slight advantage over the defenders.
Shit, there was a RO2 thread i didn't know about?
Glory be to SVT40
>>272886328
The attacking team needs a decent commander, squad leaders and coordination to have any chance at all. Defenders just need to spread out and camp
New players always seem to go Russain first for the novelty, so I find the Ruskies often get stomped after sales and weekends
>>272886798

Enjoy being a jack of all trades, master of none. MG master race reporting in, going rambo on all your asses with my deadeye estimated hipfire aim. Going back to tiny mags to level up the MG42 is hellish, though, and I'm not convinced the MG34 isn't plainly better anyway.
>RO2 sale not even on front page of steam store
Did they screw up or something?
>Free weekend
welp, I love playing with people that have no idea what they're doing picking all the important classes.
>>272886928
They go Soviet because they think that playing the nazis will turn them into nazis. Most people just tendo to go for the "good guys" in any game like this. People who played a bunch of the game or don't really care go for wichever team is avaliable and that means the "Bad guys" so they tend to be at an advantage.
Same thing was happening with insurgency the other day. People coming from HB were all going SF if they could.
>>272887380
Joke's on them, MG34 and RPD 4 lyf
>>272886328
Oh well, I still kinda enjoyed myself by having this on while playing:

How fucking long does it take for tripwire to fix this? I swear it was in the original RO aswell.
>>272887045
Playing commandr and squad-leader i can either use the SVT or have 0 long range capabilities. Still, don't need to use more than 1 bullet most times, so it's not that different from using the bolt action rifles, other than having to manually bolt those.
>>272865175
>clip
>>272887668
Semi-auto rifles have inherently worse accuracy than bolt rifles due to recoil (that one's more of a psychological thing that can be trained out though) and weight distribution. Really, though, as a commander your major concern shouldn't be weaponry, and as a squad leader you definitely want close-quaters weapons since a good squad leader will be in the enemy lines acting as a spawn point.
New to the bandwagon here. 5 of my friends and I will be getting this game tomorrow. Not sure if we should pick up 1, or 2. Looking for feedback. Also pointers on how to enter multiplayer without being scrub for long.
We worked well together in planetside 2 so I don't think it will be all that hard.
>>272887380
I'm a noob and I prefer german becauseI'm an evil naziI can partially understand german, while russian makes absolutely no sense to me.
>>272887851
Germans and Japs run holding their weapons with one hand. Russians and US run holding their weapons with both arms. If you're playing Russian or US using just your side arm (pistol) will make people hesitate to shoot you.
If you're a squad lead mark artillery and throw smoke.
Other than that it's all good. Mark targets with z I think and just help your team out.
>>272887851
Get two. A bit of heads up, this game is team-based online game, not squad-based. You are in squads but the team play is more important. Just so you know before starting it up.
>>272887307
Yeah, what the fuck is up with that? I was looking for Russian keys for a friend until he pointed out to me the game was on sale. Did Gabe tire of constant RO2 sales?
>>272887851
My top three bits of advice for gitting gud in RO2:
1. be aware of how exposed you are. Be VERY aware of how exposed you are. See what you're doing? You're exposed. That shot you just took? Twenty irons are scrambling to point in your direction right now. Be somewhere else, be unpredictable, and above all attack from the side as much as you possibly can.
2. git gud at #420noscoping; frequently you'll somehow end up in the situation where you can either fire a reaction shot and survive or bring up your sights and die in the process. Yes, even with a bolt action, you should be able to do this to some extent. If you get really good at it, MGs stop being point-defence and start being CQC, and when you've got a 150 round belt-fed MG34 in tight quarters you can wipe out an enemy team single handed, if you're smart about it.
3. directly contradicting point 1, if you're an attacker, GET THE FUCK IN THERE. The crux of this is: don't be afraid. Fear is what causes scrubs to be scrubs. Oh, and don't fucking crouch run across open ground you dumb fuck, you're an easy target if you do that. Crouch running is EXCLUSIVELY to be used in trenches, and only if you know popping your head up will get you killed.
Oh and in Rising Storm never run without banzaiing as the japs, just hold melee while sprinting. It makes you invincible. Well, almost.
>>272887803
It depends for commander. I'm not just gonna camp out at the radio the wholle damn time if there's not point to it due to cooldowns. In maps where those are pretty quick i tend to stay there and drop the weapon i have for anyone who might want it, but otherwise i move in to help the team fighting.
And as i said, i like to at least have some long-range capabilities instead of being a close range monster. it seems everytime i pick a SMG i find myself in some situation where i get killed by someone from a distance. At least with the semi-autos i get a fighting chance wither way. And ppshs aren't taht hard to find laying arround anyway.
I like manual bolting because my autism doesn't allow me to lose one single bullet during reload.
>>272888246
>>272888216
Alright. Thanks for the heads up.
Seems pretty sneaky about the whole 1-2 handed thing.
I had a friend explain it as like a first person Risk. But after watching videos I see a very interesting game that should be able to bring us together again.
>>272888269
Russians have the banzai now from what I understand. If they sprint in groups they suppress Germans.
>>272888743
Yeah, but they don't get any of the bullet resistance. The Japs only get it because they have jack shit for automatic weaponry, while the Americans are swimming in it.

>>272888743
They always had Hurra charges from what i remember. They just aren't NEARLY as effective as a bnazai charge since it doesn't amke them nearly invencible, so the nazis can pick them easily from a distance and at close range with SMGs and MGs.

>a good squad leader will be in the enmy lines acting as a spawn point
Almost true, you want to be near the lines but your team is loads better off if you stay alive and not dead. If you care about it, you're also going to get more points if your squad consistently spawns off of you. If your commander is bad, you'll most likely be the top of the scoreboard if you stay alive and play it just a bit safer and stay just at the edges of spawnpoints (unless they're being attacked and you're defending, of course), letting your squad stay in front. This is no excuse to camp way back though.
>>272887668
Also, you can get 100 meter headshots with the PPSh if you try to tap fire, I've done it. Just always use small bursts unless they're right in front of you. Once youget the stock for the MP40 you can pretty much just hold it down because lol no muzzle climb.
>>272888862
There's character progression in realism mode. Why does no one ever remember there's a "classic" mode?
>>272887732
They are clips in most of bolt action rifles.
>>272888998
The problem with long range with either the PPSh or MP40 is the horrifying velocity dropoff over distance. Sometimes it feels like the bullets are just bouncing off the enemy's skin at that distance.
>>272888483
That's not autism, stop making excuses for yourself, you just want to be efficient as fuck and that's a good thing.
So dumb when people say this silly shit
>>272889010
>There's character progression in realism mode
yes i know there is.
RO2 is literally a defunct game.
Daily reminder that this is happening:
http://www.darkesthourgame.com/
new update for our lord and saviour darkest hour is about to be released
>>272888998
I have a few kills at 130m or so with the PPSh, I know it CAN be used for long range if you try, but when faced with someone (and i mean you see them and they see you) the advantage is always on the person who has a bolt or semi auto.

>>272889125
Hey, if they're too far away, use smoke and flank. If you don't have smoke, make the trip and grab some more. If you're under fire, obviously it's not an option, just let your guys take them out since they'll have long rifles.
Or just use the semi-autos, they're both fucking nasty good

>>272864646
>on sale
What a fucking loser. Every one has already gotten it for free.
Stay mad, turbonerd.
>>272887851
Learn how to lead targets properly asap
Don't spend too much time camping in one spot, and be wary of your shots drawing people to you
Climbing high vantage points like watchtowers will usually result in you being shot while climbing the ladder - if you reach the top you'll become the focus of the entire other team the second someone notices you
As an attacker make sure you're constantly pushing forwards and make sure you're physically in the cap zone, not 10m behind it. Don't charge too far into the cap zone as well, it's better for you to be closer to your side and able to capture as opposed to the enemy's end and getting gunned down. Also if the objective is destructible you can pick up satchel charges to blow them up by moving to a supply crate and pressing ctrl near it
As a defender, make sure you're within a 5-10 second sprint of the cap zone if you decide to cover a flank - in case it becomes contested
Don't fire at a target unless you confirm it's an enemy first
On Rising Storm, don't banzai charge while flanking, the shout will draw attention to you. If your team decide to mass banzai a point without being stealthy, make sure you sprint and hold melee. If a group of you mass up it will essentially triple your health, only flamethrowers and explosives can 1HK you
>>272888821
That damage reduction is ridiculous. Took a trenchgun blast to the chest and stabbed a dude.
>>272889537
>posts anime image of a little girl, clearly a weeaboo that probably has loli porn of her too
>calls someone a nerd
>>272889662
If it was during a banzai charge, they're a hell of a drug. Just keep pumping rounds into them, I know it's annoying but it's there
>>272887653
It means that your internet is shit and you are lagging like fuck at the moment, thats why you are locked in place.
>>272889662
It is truly ludicrous, and gets stronger when you're in a group of up to... I think up to 6 is where it stops getting more.
But then, of course, you WILL inevitably run into a flamethrower.
I fucking hate flamethrowers in RS. I've run 80-kill games with a flamethrower before, it's blatantly overpowered.
>>272889184
>let's fracture an already small community into what will become an unsustainable player amount
How about no. The interest in hardcore team-based WW2 shooters is already niche.
>>272888495
>Seems pretty sneaky about the whole 1-2 handed thing.
It's a bit annoying because eastern front it's germans green -> 1handed, russians tan -> 2handed.
Then swap the colours for the pacific campaign. Americans green -> 2handed, Japs tan -> 1handed.
But yeah in general just look at your maps a lot to see if there's allies in front of you, stay under cover like the scared little bitch we would all be if actually deployed, and try and push up with allies to contribute by sitting in cap zones. I find if you don't know the maps and the flow of battle, you won't get many kills till you find your feet, but don't be put off by that.
>>272889767
Knee mortar is just as bad. Entire push wiped out because some random fucking nade drops and kills 6 people.
>>272889840
But people already play Darkest Hour
>>272887307
Because the front page is just filled with recommendations now
>>272889668
shut up
>>272889840
>The interest in hardcore team-based WW2 shooters is already niche.
yes i know
oh wait... are you implying ro2 is hardcore or teambased? what the fuck?
>>272889767
>>272889881
git gud

welcome to war gents
>>272890123
I like how everyone talks about saving one bullet with the manual bolting.
But the best part of the manual bolting is that you won't get stuck in an animation after shooting, thus allowing you to either see if you hit your target, if not where it landed.
Plus the fact that you can fire once and then go into melee without being stuck in an animation
>>272887732
>>272889218
>>272889314
as long as you know what he was talking about it doesn't matter even if we called it "shit" with the exception of some autist getting butthurt over not using proper names
>>272864646
Manual
Why can't we have a C96 inside the C96 stock when we unlock it so we could still gun after we run out of gun?
>>272889767
Flamethrower has a 35-40m range at most and when someone sees someone with a tank on their back they point them out as HVTs
>>272889881
If it kills 3+ people it isn't random
>>272888821
>>272888743
Soviet have always had theirs, but the Japanese one is better. But the Soviet one is easier to use, you only need to sprint in a group to activate it, for the nips you need to actually go into melee mode
>>272889949
Fuck no, go back to your loli thread to argue about stupid shit with other weeaboos about how your slutty loli waifu is pure and theirs are dirty whores
Delete your reaction image folder, cunt.
>>272890427
>If it kills 3+ people it isn't random
most of the time
>>272890454
I hate how hard it is to actually get a full team to banzai.
I try telling people that you eat bullets like it's breakfast and you can easily rush through entire maps using the momentum to run from capzone to capzone. You only end up getting 3-4 people to do it before they start saying "Banzai never works, stop doing it"
>>272890597
shut up
>>272890597
>go back to your loli thread
and take this faggot with you
>>272890597
>>272889668
If you stop replying the shitposting stops
>>272890761
That's because epic kids abuse it. I just ignore Banzai charges unless I know the people I'm playing with. Otherwise just an easy suicide.
>>272890761
>I hate how hard it is to actually get a full team to banzai.
People don't want to run in the open as easy targets.
Where's the problem? I thought you wanted realism
>>272889767
Flame thrower isnt OP, they are just flamethrowers, and since most people are oblivious and dont fucking pick flame throwers off, people get flame thrown.
>Buy RO2
>Love it
>Stop playing for some weeks
>Try to go back
>Can't play for shit
>Leave again
>Come back
>Can't play for shit
It literally killed the game for me
>>272890937
Realistically, if your commander called a banzai charged you'd be forced to participate in it.
>>272890937
>Getting a whole team of 32 people to banzai
>Each person can take 4-5 shots
>Take cap zone in a matter of seconds
>Rush to the next before they even get set up
It's like you don't even like winning. Some people might get mowed down, but its for the greater good. I've seen matches end in less than 5 minutes this way
>>272890669
Most people who play mortar regularly are lv 70+, to get a lot of kills you just fire into points where you are guaranteed to hit someone. Like, attacking point A on hanto you just need to fire at the radio near the bunker and to the right of it because people like to camp there. Or defending point C on Guadal you fire behind the medical tent in front of the bunker and you usually get 2 or 3 people per shot because most teams attack from there
>>272890761
Yeah, you need a decent SL or commander with a mic to convince people to do it. Dunno why they don't do it any other time when they realise how quickly japs can steamroll maps with it
>>272891047
See >>272882461
Play a bunch, learn the maps, learn the hiding spots, get better
so why hasnt TWI made ROOST free yet?
>>272891107
people dont always do what you command them to do if it means almost certain suicide
So no
>>272891224
I've also seen team losing because their glorious charge got bombed down or flanked by mgs
>>272891323
i can't make retarded people to learn to avoid places that usually gets bombed.
>>272891572
But that would bringu great dishonor upon your famiry, so you charge balls deep with the spirit of the samurai
>>272864646
manual you dummy
>>272864752
>harder
retard detected
>>272891572
Do you know anything regarding the japs in WW2?
If they were ordered to charge at the americans with no weapons, they would, for the emperror. Even civies commited mass suicide when the japanese army in the island they were living on was defeated.
So yeah, if a jap soldier was ordered to banzaim he would. Death beforre dishonourr.
>>272885115
exactly. it makes up quite a difference if you always reload half-way. you discard 20% of your ammunition
>>272891745
Which is why mortars aren't OP, they fire towards zones considered retard magnets. The only thing that fucks me off about them is people direct firing them into you from 5 yards away and surviving
>>272891773
But they cut my honorabre balls off so i woudnt be distracted by earthry desirus
>>272891946
>5 yards away and surviving
this
i applaud them for doing it really fast but otherwise it's fucking bullshit
>>272891830
and not everyone. even they had discontent among them.
those who did charge at command is comparable to premade team in RO
>>272891830
They charged when they had no options.
japs aren't as stupid as they make them to be in war movies
>>272892149
They could be as discontent as they wanted. It was either cahrge and probably get shot, or refuse and get shot.
>>272892265
No shit mate. I'm perfectly aware of that. But i'm trying to point out that if they were ordered they would..
>>272892394
>die possibly painful death
>die fast
it isn't that hard
>>272892687
then why the fuck you asking stupid questions?
>>272892012
You bring shame upon your ancestors
>>272892775
What stupid questions?
The guy said that in real life no one would ever banzai, but if ordered, the japanese soldiers would do it. Of course it's a last resort option to try to take as many of them down with you as you can ratehr than to defeat them, but that wasn't the point. It was just to point out that they would.
>>272893013
Point me where it's said they never charge.
>>272893109
Ok, fine, he implied it.
>>272888269
I don't agree with point three, I think crouch_running is better than just running across open ground, you're less likely to be seen, because if you are seen, you're dead anyway.
That's really the thing, in this game you have to not be seen.
>>272893307
Who implied such thing?
Only thing i see is one faggot bitching why it's so hard to get proper charge and me wondering why he is so fucking surprised that is a rare thing to see
>>272893507
looking at
>>272890937
>>272891107
I'd say both are right.
They wouldn't really wanted to, but if ordered, they would.
>>272893398
>MG
>out of ammo, alone behind enemy lines
>pistol was give to a rifleman who ran out of ammo sooner than you
>see enemy sniper cheerfully killing your mates
>you dont even have nades left
either my game was fucked or there isn't a melee option for mg
>>272864646
>not using manual bolt
>>272893748
No melle with MG. Unless you're a jap i think?
>that new kid who TKs you for your gun
>>272893748
Should have dropped your MG if you knew you were going to run out
>>272889218
>WW2 bolt-action rifles
>not magazines
Then what the fuck is holding the cartridges before they go into the chamber?
You can't pull it out, that's all.
>>272890120
It is teambased, you fucking fag. It's not our fault you don't play with friends, but a team will always win the fucking match,even if they're all lvl 10's against lvl90's with maxed out weapons.
>>272887626
>Gooks = Koreans
Wait i thought the Koreans were zipperheads?
>>272891224
Arty would stop your banzay pretty quickly. And a wellplaced MG.
There are two versions of the game on Steam, which one should i buy?
"RO 2 with Rising Storm" or "RO 2 with Rising Storm - RO 2 Digital Deluxe Edition"?
About the same price but I don't know the differences...
>>272894751
If I'm not mistaken, digital deluxe unlocks a couple of guns you normally get at veteran level.
>>272895036
Is the ruskie battle rifle a veteran unlock? If so then for what class? I find them on the ground sometimes but I have no idea how to get it
>>272895036
So nothing that i couldn't get after some time playing?
>that blackhawk kid told to shut the fuck up repeadetly by everyone, including me
Feels good
>leveling system in a game that tries to be even mildly realistic and tactical
literally worse than hitler
>>272895227
The AVT? Yes it is part of the deluxe unlocks, along with the MKB, and scoped semi autos.
>>272895323
You get the guns normally when you make it to veteran assault and veteran marksman.
>>272895478
The unlocks don't really make much difference, it's mostly just to make you feel special
>>272895323
Pretty much.
It also has skins for Killing Floor if you're into that.
>>272895227
You can pick them up. But i don't think too many people really use the AVT they're probably the SVT. To unlock the AVT you jsut need to level up the right calss, assault i think.
>>272895692
Never been a fan of the AVT, the recoil on that thing in full auto makes it useless unless you're like 10 feet away from someone.
Although you could just try to burst it but then you just kind of run out of ammo instantly
>>272895683
>The unlocks don't really make much difference
>double magazine and ammo belt on mg34
>better scopes on sniper rifles
>>272895826
Yup, that why no one uses the AVT. It just doesn't work. You can maybe kill 1, 2 guys at close range if you're lucky, but you'd be way better off with either SMG for that...
>>272895683
Levelling gives you slight bonuses to things like movement speed, reload speed and recoil
Not that it really matters, most people can either shoot or they can't. The bonuses don't change much, only really give you a slight edge in CQB
>>272895948
I think he meant the weapons you unlock, the AVT, th MK42, and sniper versions of the semi-auto rifles.
>>272895948
>front grip and bipod for BAR
>front grip, drum magazine and compensator for maximum dakka Thompson
>Bayonet and fucking SCOPE for jap MG
>those fucking scope upgrades for the 1903 sniper
>don't make much of a difference
no
>>272891224
and all it takes is a single flamethrower to stop it
>>272894357
nigga you can solo run and gun in ro2 so easy.
there are no teammates needed
its even easier with spawnclosets
>Those kids have no idea whatsoever of what went on at Stalingrad.
>>272895683
>The unlocks don't really make much difference
faster reloading, less sway, more stamina, less supression
>not much difference
lol
Is the first Red Orchestra worth getting for $2.50, or is it just completely dead?
>>272896648
its totally worth getting
what region?
>>272895948
>>272896241
>>272896383
The game is still more about tactics than equipment. This stuff might give you a slight edge in certain situations but if you play like a scrub you're still gonna get fucked.
>>272896037
> most people can either shoot or they can't
this
>all those new people using the cover system to pop their heads over obstacles
Jesus Christ. Playing a round as an axis marksman on bridges last night was kinda depressing. Poor Ivans.
>>272896946
>the game is more about tactics and teamwork
Sure, but 2-3 people in the german team with mkbs or mg42 wiping the floor and carrying their whole team on pubs non-stop say hi.
>>272896946
red orchestra 2 isnt about tactics.
it is LITERALLY an arcade run and gun shooter in the same vein as CoD
the only realistic part is the weapon handling and the setting.
>playing as the soviet hero
>get tk every two minutes
>"sorry bro, you look like one of them"
>>272897313
This is why I'm afraid of hitting level 80.
>>272897393
Trust me, playing as the jap hero is 1000x worse, the red and white headband is a bullet beacon
America nerf when?
>>272897590
Never
>>272897246

Go troll an assfaggots thread or something, faggot.
