The satisfaction of killing an enemy with a bolt action
Nothing. It was broken for 2 years. And the original roost was way more realistic and did a good job simulating the feel of a real battle.
Ro2 is a hardcore COD clone with a Ww2 skin.

Only thing that went right was that a 3rd party dev made a better Red Orchestra team than the original Red Orchestra team. This is coming from someone who started playing during Red Orchestra 1.0 beta mod and a beta tester during the 3.0-3.3 mod days.

Fucking this. RO2 was buggy as shit, and Trip Wire dropped support of the game quick. Didn't add shit until Rising Storm and even then, they didn't add anything further.
RO1 had so many maps, factions, guns, and vehicles it was unreal. There was more complexity with hit mechanics, and less chokepoints to encourage flanking. It's the only FPS I've played where machine gun cover fire was an actual thing.

>no hit indicators or killfeed, making you anxious that the guy you shot in the foggy distance could still be alive or a teammate

Game was a gem. While RO2 is fun, it was a pump and dump money grab, and didn't have half the support or features from its parent.

The setting is what fucking killed RO2, basing the game around one battle meant the team could cut so much content from ROOST. I'd sad to see how far Tripwire has fallen from their humble roots as the Make Something Unreal contest winners to shitting out products like RO2 and KF2.
>>343058972
They werent at launch and that pic was made back then. The autistic interior design for vehicles was a mistake.
>>343058864
RO 2 now has so many community maps implemented and they added the MG42, Panzer III, universal carrier, sdkfz and t70 through updates, it really feels more like the original. Rising Storm is way to close quarters and fast paced.
>>343059243
barely any realism servers play them though. the only one I've come across that plays them consistently is the all russian one. One of the maps looked really good though
really some things went right, some thing could've been done better.
Tripwire are good but they're not perfect.
What I like about red orchestra 2/rising storm most however is just the fact that you've got the ability to adjust your sights for range.
which just feels immersive, like your gun is more "real",
add to that character movement, the music (which is phenomenal, really feels appropriate for the time and characters),
I also like how tanks are controlled, (with the delay if you're soloing it, and an optimal configuration of at least 3 tank crewpersons)
The Asymmetry is really nice, whether it's flamethrowers/mortars or some of the differences between german and soviet soldiers there's just a lot to go around.
>Criticisms:
>Unreal engine is kind of shitty at times, Umbra Culling issues (texture flickering etc.)
>Guns could use a "safe" or "lowered" mode (so you're not pointing your gun at your teammates when looking back, (because sometimes you can get confused with an enemy depending on the skill level of the player))
>There isn't enough variety of tanks/armored vehicles.
>you can't use field guns or artillery pieces, really a lot of nonfunctional stuff that would be interesting to mess around with
>maps can get old after a while, wish it was easier to integrate custom maps into campaign, or more servers used some of the better custom maps out there.
>moral deathspirals when teams are stacked/pubstomped
>at times terrain feels too static/too limited, ping and performance can get odd at times.
>progression can be a bit steep for certain upgrades (getting a rifle to lvl. 25 before bayonets unlocked was kind of a bad idea, luckily they changed it for all but the US)
I hope some of those concerns are addressed in RS2

I've heard some rumors about Rising Storm 2.
Aufmarsch (a ww1 mod for RO2/Rising Storm) is going to attempt to move to RS2 (once it's released).
Rising Storm 2 will have Tunnel-systems (something about the initial plans for Rising Storm had to do with japanese tunnel networks, but things got cut/weren't able to happen).
RIP Red Orchestra Osfront 41-45
Custom maps were god tier in ROst. The Berlin map with all those enterable buildings was so great.

>don't move, they can't see you if you can't move.
>>343059601
>(with the delay if you're soloing it, and an optimal configuration of at least 3 tank crewpersons)
Only if you actually coordinate with each other, otherwise it's better to have those other two guys on foot, providing additional manpower.
>Umbra Culling
I play on a toaster and that shit goes nuts half the time. I need to look up the console command again before I play or else it's like I'm in the invisible lands where everything is invisible.
>progression can be a bit steep
Progression is retarded steep, after sinking nearly 100 hours I'm nowhere near getting all the unlocks. It doesn't help that the progression system isn't slanted in favor of limited availability classes, so you end up with a million XP in basic rifleman classes/weapons but almost nothing in the very limited commander or sniper classes/weapons.
I think the only non-rifleman class I have a decent ammount of XP in is squad leader, which I'm amazed isn't grabbed up as quickly since it's such a powerful class.

Everything?
This is the best FPS made in the last decade
Nothing like toasting some banzais. Mind you rolling over in panzers that are working as a grp is also wonderful
>>343060519
the worst part with regards to tanks, (or squads in general) is the bad voip, where squad Voip is bugged in such a way the enemy may hear it.
but team-voip isn't bugged, but that can lead to SL's being unable to coordinate properly as they don't have a dedicated com. hierarchy.

>VOIP
Even worse is how the game handles votekicks and mutes. You have assholes spamming shit in the mic (funny at first but it gets old when you literally can't hear anything else) and then they change their name to someone else in the server. The game can't differentiate the two, and there's no mention on the mute/kick list to say who's the original (from experience it's always the guy closer to the top of the list, but half of the idiots don't know this and vote to kick the first name they see) so even if you're smart and mute him there's a chance he'll take your name and you get kicked instead.
>>343061695
Winning against a german team full of memesters with wehraboo names is the greatest feeling. Especially when they cry hacks and you can feel the salt emanating from the screen.

If you win such a game it feels like a victory earned, and if you lose then you lost to the better team.
>>343062876
You forgot to put apartments in the cancer section. Almost impossible to defend.
>>343063679
Apartments is horrible but at least it's over very quickly.

>>343064570
The bad visibility during the river crossing make it so intense, I know many people dislike it because it is overplayed and to an extend a meatgrinder, but it just creates such thick combat that really requires a team effort.
>>343058620
They "merged" both games a while back in terms of store page/selling. Now, you get both with the same purchase. If you want RS you'll have to "Buy RO2 with Rising Storm".

>>343062876
Fallen FIghters is pretty fun if you play as a sniper and know how to play as a sniper.
Once got like 60 kdr in a round while still capturing most points for the team.
>>343065620
I think the next time I play it I'm just going to shoot from the buildings as rifleman. Why trade kills in the objective areas when you can kill 5 to 1 from cover?
I feel like one of maybe 3 people that likes playing the map normally, but I was incredibly disheartened to see screenshots of people's edited ini files with no fog and completely clear view distance.
I used to love playing as TL on it. Before Rising storm came out and everyone started freaking out about SL roles since spawning on them never worked before. I would just solo mark arty points and not use a mic once and not a single person would bitch win or lose. At the start id mark their front wall closest to the cap point as fast as humanly possible, call arty, sprint to my wall, cap the point as tons of death messages pop up, sprint to sewers, cap middle, then call more arty from sewer zone. Was fun. Also tanks used to have ace AI crew, and you could rack up a million kills with them helping instead of the retards with true intelligence manning your tank. And even while playing as an ordinary riflemen dodging a million snipers, doing a successful push on that map is fun. Its all about using the smallest bits of cover, tiny walls, tiny hills, little fountains, small foxholes, broken bus, etc. Its a good map.
>>343065104
>>be polish
into the trash it goes
>>343065620
I just stay in the edge of C prone behind a wall, shoot people along the street and lob grenades over the wall if I hear anyone nearby. Plenty of teamates get themselves killed near me that I stay stocked with ammo and grenades and can keep going indefinitely.
>>343067215
It's a good map if you don't play like you're playing CoD.
>>343058194
Pretty much this. Retards think it's so LE TACTICOOL XDDD because the maps are bigger than COD and it has a couple of gimmicks to make shooting harder.I still like it
>>343067215
They fixed it so you can't disable fog anymore. I see videos of people playing where the whole map is dark, no sunlight or anything. Don't know if it gives them an advantage but it looks like shit.

>>343058864
The opposite opinion is true
Map design and class balance is complete trash in Rising Storm
I'm glad v likes these games. They are so good.
Too hype for RS2. How do you guys think helis are gonna work? No way will they be flyable, but a COD kill streak type thing where you just fun in it would be sorta out of place. Probably just AI gun and rocket runs?
>>343068232
They'll probably work like arty did in RO2/RS.
Or they'll actually be flyable, i don't think that's such an odd hypotesis.
>>343062876
Winterwald, Stalingrad Kessel, Bridges are god tier
Cold steel is underrated
What's the map where it's flat snow and really wide, mostly outdoors with a bunker to the right when charging? That's my favorite map but I haven't played in a while. Might be Commissars house
>>343058097
Killing with a bolt action feels good.
Killing gaijin with grorious nippon bayonet feels better
>>343068376
I don't think you'll fly them. I don't see how they'd make it possible without making it complete arcade shit.
I'm totally new to RO2 and just played a defending game on Tula Outskirts, ik got killed 10 times without even seeing the enemy.

Everyone praising it must have got it after the fucking abysmal launch and how Tripwire handled the whole ordeal. Pretty much killed my trust in them and seeing Killing Floor 2, makes me happy to know I was right to avoid them.
At least RS turned out nice.
It seems like everyone praises RO1 and can't stand RO2. Are there any maps for RO2 that play just like RO1?

Not the release. Worst pile of crap I played in 2011.
