>>337950160
poklonskaya thread?
>>337950565
the germans are blue and have helmets while the russians are tan and wear earmuffs
>>337950160
Go back to r9k you fucking faggot>>337950160
307 hours
at first I liked Rising Storm better, but now... RO is better desu
>>337950956
it was yanks v japs
>>337951390
Yanks are green, Japs are invisible.
>>337950160
>epic
>>337950565
Stare at them really hard, if they see you and shoot you they're the enemy, if not chances are they're friendly.Say sorry when you kill friendlys them and tell them you're new, they may give real advice.
>>337951694
epic xD
>>337952383

>other guy sits there for five seconds
>shoots me anyway
im a newfag what does the explantation point and the bar mean? what does it mean when your screen is black and white etc? thanks in advance
t. newfag
>>337953263
the bar is your stamina
the exclamation point is your morale ; when your screen turns grey, you're scared shitless
>>337953414
thanks
>>337950565
If you're unsure, check your map.
Allies sprint with their weapon held in two hands while axis sprint with it held in one.
In close quarters listen out for enemy voices.
After a while you'll learn the weapons sounds which can be helpful, but remember that your team mates may be using enemy weapons.
>>337953494
it happens during bombings if you're close, or when you see a teammate (close to you) dying
in Rising Storm it happens when you hear nips banzai-ing
>>337953687
Also when people are shooting at you or grenades and satchel charges are exploding near you.
>>337953494
and don't forget that when you go up the ranks, you're less scared. a veteran has more morale than the raw recruit
heroes might have more
>>337953623
this helps alot thanks
>>337950160
Have 550 hours in that game. The game is really only as good as the people you play with. It's very fun with everyone mic'd up and communicating.
>>337954098
and for the voice thing, turn the original voices on, it will be even clearer for you.
>>337950160
I know right. Got it when it was free and never touched it til now and it turns out to be fucking amazing.
Sure, it sucks when your team is getting steam-rolled but that shit doesn't last forever.
>>337953978
I love this game, but I hate how long leveling takes. Am I just mentally retarded and bad as fuck, or does it take dozens of hours just to get into middle levels and unlock weapon upgrades?
>>337953978
When a hero is nearby other players receive less suppression and have higher morale.
>>337954262
Most weapons take no time at all to level if you're any good. You can easily max out the MGs in a day if you know what you're doing.
>>337950701

dunno if they fixed this but here you go

it's easy to level up the rifleman because that's the class with the most slots
otherwise, you have to take the role first (I hope you have a good computer) or take weapons from dead bodies ; so yeah, except for the rifleman, the other classes are way harder to level up. usually you'll have your rifleman class up to level 50 before everything
and for our newfriend, you have to play at least an ENTIRE ROUND to get all your XP. if you leave in the middle of the game you will lose your current progress.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA2R89HNILs
>>337954615
That doesn't do anything
>>337954262
If you're feeling autistics, go on a server that's mostly bots and grind. Took me a few hours to get the full auto C96, but was worth it.
>>337954615
Pretty sure ranks are server side
>>337954262
leveling up in rising storm is really fast, leveling up in the base game takes forever.
>>337954262
It takes ages sometimes. Not difficult to go from level 0 on a weapon to 20-25 in a few hours though, depending on the maps. Just requires time and effort.
You could take the boring way out and shoot bots but that's not fun at all.
I've played the rifle man class so much it's the only one I truly love now. I can get down with an engineer or a elite rifleman class every once and while but I do my best when I'm just a little rifle boy.
>>337955006
you'll love elite rifleman even more.
>>337950160
>>337954664
>not using native voices
>>337954902
I found it the other way around. I have maxed out everything in RO2 twice over but I still can't figure out how the hell to use sniper rifles and mgs in RS.
>>337955125
are there optional voices for rising storm?
>>337955189
You have trouble with those nip sights? Gotta put the enemy's head IN THE BASKET
>>337955109
Standing that close to the openings
Serves him right
>>337955189
it might be harder to find people to shoot but it only takes like 2 kills per level with the rifles in rising storm.
>>337955352
Nips are already in Japanese for the most part, aren't they?
>>337955356
No I have trouble with the maps. All the logic I use for finding good MG and sniper spots in RO2, none of that shit exists in RS. There's no good flank spots or buildings to sit in.
>>337955006
>be rifleman
>in CQB
>charge dudes with my bayonet
>watch them panic while I stab them
>>337953978
i didnt know that. thats kinda lame that people with more xp have an advantage. i think i read that rising storm 2 wont have xp levels; everyone will be on a level playing field.
>>337955483
Yeah they never speak english
Red Orchestra 1 with Darkest Hour mod is GOAT tactical fun
>>337954917
>Where is our tank?
I hate these fucking retards who think tanks are supposed to lead attacks.
>>337955530
Hard to say. Just have to find decent chokes. Jungle flanks are a lot more important in RS than flanking buildings and flanking wide around fields and shit in RO
These truly are the days of neo v
Ro2 is shit and so is rising storm
Ro1 and dh is still vastly superior.
>>337955723
>>337955797
>t. 29th member
>>337955109
>>337955797
How is RO1 compared to RO2? Any actual comparisons and not just shitposting? Because I've never played RO1 and would be willing to buy it and try it
>>337955879
I used to play with you guys. How active are the servers? I loved Berlin.
>>337956003
GOAT. RO2 is pretty casualized compared to the first, but I don't know how the community is anymore. I moved onto ARMA3
>>337956003
Its good just a lot slower. Don't believe anyone who says it's more realistic, they have just as much silly bullshit as RO2.
>>337950160
>just started playing this game
you are 4 years late
>>337956124
How many people still play it? Enough to make it worth my while?
>>337955938
>>337956003
RO1 actually has a decent amount of vehicles.
give tips for beginners
go
>>337956152
Is he? There are still tons of full servers
>>337956389
use right mouse button to end your fucking charge instead of stabbing your teammate
>>337956389
Get in the cap
Switch to manual bolting
Go prone to recover stamina faster
Get in the cap
>>337956436
?
there was a grand total of two regularly full ones last time I played
don't tell me you're counting all the servers filled with bots, anon
>>337955723
Did they manage to add the maps back in? The 5.0 update or whatever made all the maps disappear. Shame.
>>337956003
Last I remember RO1 itself is dead, even the russians buggered off. It just has way more content and much more emphasis on positioning. Less likely to be insta-sniped too. I'd kill to play Brandenburg Gate again.
>>337956742
No bots, just sort by full servers.
You can see if there are any bots
>>337956742
Bull. I've got, like, 8 servers favourited that fill up all the time, and there are always other ones in rotation that get enough people with bots mixed in
>>337956389
Allies (Americans and Russians) sprint with both hands on their gun
Axes (Germans and Japanese) sprint holding there gun in one hand
Hold T by default to see where the point is. It also gives you a mini map that let's you know were allies are, always check it before you throw a grenade over a wall or try to clear out a building.
Stay near your SL or any one who's lvl 99 because they probably know what they're doing.
The game is shit compared to RO1 because they tried to make it like CoD and took in the awful fucking elements from KF (unlocks and xp? wtf?)
Not to mention how there's NO WEAPONS and NO TANKS. Guess how many tanks RO1 had, and look at all the awesome mods
t. 300 hours of RO2
>>337954162
The animations look so incredibly silly. Always takes me out of the game.
>>337956389
Allies run with weapon in two hands, Axis with weapon in one
Manual bolting
Get in cap
Play rifleman to 50 before trying a different class
Relocate
Check your map if you're not sure where your teammates are
Do your job
>>337957036
>stay near lvl 99
>probably know what they're doing
In my experience, anyone above lvl 90 just camps their ass off all over the place and barely attempts to help the team. So if you count "survival through cowardice" as "knowing what they're doing," then, yeah, I guess
Is the banzai gimped when you are stuck at level 10? Should I buy Rising Storm?
>manual bolting
why
>>337957263
it will prolly be on sale in the steam summer sale, thats when im getting it.
>>337957301
>why
You have control of whether you want to bolt or not, it aids keeping your targets acquired, and it allows you to fire faster than you normally would by shaving away automated animation.
>>337957301
It's faster than letting the game do it for you and it lets you better control your reloads with bolt actions.
>>337956389
You actually dont need binoculars to target for artillery, just use the command widget (cant remember the default bind). Comes really handy in hectic situations.
>defending our last point

Opinions on Heroes of the West? Seems even jankier than RO or RS, honestly. Maps are all lopsided and

>Developers worship hitler
>Not a single swastika
>>337957928
Try playing it for more than a few hours. Its fun and adds new life to the game. Tons of maps are asymmetrical and punish greedy play. You have to be patient when you attack.
>>337957928
It's good, but needs balancing. Steer clear of it if you're new.
>>337956264
It's worth $5. The Darkest Hour mod is still being updated and is played regularly
>>337957928
It's an axis biased mod, try fucking playing Oosterbeek and call that balanced. Whoever thought the map was any good should be shot.
The excuse is "lol we played with top experienced players only we didn't know" I won't touch it until it's actually fun. At least they fixed Omaha.
Tip to people not using manual bolting: If you go prone right after shooting, your next bullet will be ready to fire without operating the bolt.
>>337958173
Not my review. That was the most negative review I could find on Steam
>>337958182
Have tried it out and don't mind it too much, it just doesn't feel balance or very polished.
>>337958260
OH I'M WOUNDED
CHRIST THEY'RE KILLING US
WE'RE PINNED DOWN HERE
>>337958239
But it costs $10
>>337956389
Use your map and communicate constantly.
Even if you're a rifleman you're much further up than your SL and TL and can give them invaluable information.
>>337956389
Don't choose anything other than rifleman if you're below lvl 20, desu senpai
>>337957262
If they're SLs they're doing their jobs. Staying alive as a spawn point is way more important than trying to get kills.
>>337959014
No, usually guys that high of a lvl don't play SL in my experience, they're just sitting back doing fucking nothing as an MG or anti-tank or some other bullshit
>>337959095
Do you expect anti tank to be killing infantry?
And MGs have to setup early before the enemy arrives if they want to catch them by surprise.
>>337950160
Why are they sounds in RO2 so shit?
>>337955486
Rising Storm would have been so much better without that god damn flamethrower. Japanese teams require excellent teamwork to have a chance to win because of that one weapon.
>>337958360
Its a mod, what do you expect? Just because attackers can't roll the enemy doesn't mean the map is bad
>>337959283
>Do you expect anti tank to be killing infantry?
Once the enemy tank is taken care of, they should probably move up.
>>337960217
500+ hours never seen a tank on that map
>>337960217
If they can see the tank they're probably already far up, there's no reason to keep going forward because you don't shoot infantry nor is it necessary to be able to damage tanks.
>>337955356
>You have trouble with those nip sights?
Not him, but fucking yes. I have over 200 hours in the game, and I never take the sniper role at all, but I joined a server mid match, saw it empty and decided to try it on a whim. That shit had me so confused.
>>337960317
Custom map. Mamayev had tanks before it was released and the community added them back in.
>>337950160
OP, it is dead ok. No one plays it anymore. It was fun while lasted.
>>337959903
Japs have the banzai which gives a huge health bonus to every single fucking soldier. They do fine.In the beta it was even worse, a lone Jap banzai could eat 6 MG rounds without dying.
>>337960475
Just look at the weapons guide, pretty sure the default nip sniper has it's sight starting at 0 metres, so the second bar would be 100 metres. I may have already forgotten.
>>337960548
>no more servers with a ping below 100
>only one or two servers that reliably have more than 40 people on them
>>337960778
Banzai doesn't stop flames and it requires skill to pull off. laying inside of the cap and frying everyone that walks in doesn't.
>>337960974
It's 50m, 100m, 200m, and then zeroes at 300m.
>>337961059
The flamethrower is there specifically to counter a banzai. Without it Japs would be overpowered as fuck.
>>337961156
Different anon here. Too bad the flamethrower is broken as hell.
>Fire stops bullets
>Kills you around obstacles where you should be safe
>Has a bullshit range combined with that ability to stop bullets
It's complete bullshit in those regards. I've gotten into amazing positions with the flamer and just killed entire teams. They couldn't do a thing.
>>337961348
I agree with this, a half decent flamethrower will just waltz around and kill everyone. Pure suffering.
225 hours, enjoyed it a lot
bit difficult to get into but once you do it's very rewarding
only bad thing is tripwire was really dishonest about the game, promised other vehicles besides tanks and other shit but never delivered
>>337961348
>Fire stops bullets
What?
>>337961568
It also blocks mortars too.
>>337961568
if you die right after shooting, your bullet disappears mid-air
>>337961568
For example, try shooting at a flamer who has his fire pointed directly at you. Your bullets will not kill him and you'll be guaranteed to die.
>>337961620
Do you have any proof of this? I'm certain I've been shot through flames before.
>>337961738
I don't play much RS but I tested it a year? back. Had a friend shoot flamethrower at me while I fired an MG at him and he took no damage at all. I doubt they've fixed it you're free to go test yourself. I know for sure mortars don't because I've seen them blow up on contact with the flames.
Its a pretty good game now.
I bought it at launch and i really bothered me how the developers tried so hard initially to grab the CoD audience. Of course that failed miserably, but then the devs go their shit together. Either way it really left a bad impression of the game for me, which is why i cant enjoy it now without getting some bad vibes. I still really detest the notion of weapon unlocks; uniform items maybe but not weapons.
It sounds petty but i was hugely invested in the modding community with Ost Front and it felt like a betrayal. Regardless i hear the game is patched up and pretty good now
>>337961997
I've always just assumed I was missing since the flames also obscure the target.
The speed of the game is just way too fast.
Too many people sprinting around snap shooting. Thats fine for CoD, but not for an RO game; if i wanted twitch shooting i would just play CoD, at least its more fluid
>>337963103
>Sprinting around snap shooting
Yeah, good fucking luck doing that when you have several MGs aimed down at you mowing your team down.
>>337963103
but thats war anon
>>337961348
Not only that. The flamer can kill everyone with the damn thing, including his allies, EXCEPT for himself. There will be flames all around you and you take zero damage. And then they made the guy run as fast as a standard rifleman even though he's carrying 80 pounds of gas on his back.
>>337964179
I would argue that snap shots and multiple stabs are the most impressive ala >>337960217 this webm because of how difficult they are to do.
>Try to run at enemy to stab them
>Very good chance you're gonna get instantly shot down by his buddy that you missed off to the right
>>337952614
autism? i hope you feel bad about this anon
>>337963549
Thats what I do all the time. I clear houses with my bolt action like a fucking tier 1 operator
>>337950956
Allies sprint holding their weapon in both hands and axis sprint with their weapon in one
