Got a full Huey kill with the RPG as it landed in a rice paddy field. Feels so good man.

I got this game recently and it's a real hoot. I've never played a Red Orchestra game before but this wasn't too bad to get into. I was kind of unprepared about how easy it is to die in this game, but it makes for some interesting plays. I really can't use the battle rifle with a drat though. Game is good, can't wait for more support for it! Also, is there a particular server you all play in? I swear the latency issues are atrocious.

The satisfaction you get from hearing enemies scream as they burn to death rivals Payday 2. The screams of the dudes crying for their mamas as they bleed to death from a gut shot make me feel uncomfortable.

Yeah, it's actually genuinely unnerving at times. Got into a spray'n'pray in a room with another guy and it was a little weird when it went from very loud automatic gunfire to mostly silent and still except for him gurgling and crying while his ragdoll writhed around on the floor.

Game is good.

Yeah, I got myself up close to a bunker in Charlie on An Lao. Letting loose with a flamethrower netted me two kills and I then proceeded to clear the rest of the complex with my squad of pubbies protecting my rear end. It was amazing.

Then our commander dropped napalm on our position and I got the achievement for seeing people die without dying myself - I must have been just out of the area and got to see a bunch of our own guys capping the point go up in flames.

how does this compare to the other RO titles? i've played them all and generally my complaint is that the game is good but the community is terrible. with ten pages in two weeks, are there enough people playing this game to be worth it or are we already at the stage where the only populated servers are clan servers that votekick people for no reason

Community is still absolute dogshit (disable voice chat or at least turn it way the gently caress down); game has tons of people at the moment(but its slowly trending down to around 5,000 players a day).

Mute everyone and just play shoot mans, this game is good if you liked previous RO games.

Also find a decent server and book mark it.

EDIT: ^^^^^^^ You can selectively mute people but it's sorta a pain with their interface.

i'm hesitant to blanket mute because sometimes voice chat turns out useful

i was playing rs once as ija and the commander was a japanese dude, like japanese characters in his name, didn't speak english, etc. the only english words he knew were "wait" and "go now" and he ended up being an excellent leader. he would just say "wait... wait.... wait... wait... wait... *sound of arty* go. go now. go now go now go go go go GO NOW GO GO. BANZAI!" and like three matches in a row he managed to coordinate excellent charges that swept the map. that guy ruled

So the SKS Bolt wont stay locked open on empty like it's supposed to. It will just magically slide closed, and magically slide open when you go to reload. Disabling automatic reload or using your last clip means empty gun without holding it's mouth open saying FEED ME BULLET. You go make GI go home and woops, you forgot Step 2.

A stupid quibble but I have an unhealthy attachment to my Yugo and have trouble counting to ten. I look at my pixel sks and gumble about how Ole' Yugo would have reminded me I forgot bullet.

the rest of the team was anglos and you'd think they'd be shouting stupid ching chong bullshit at a for real japanese guy but suprisingly they all shut the gently caress up and worked as a team and it paid off. funny how that works. it was what sold me on rising storm for a while because i was getting tired of my team loving around but a well executed bayonet charge is rad as hell

Kind of wish the game was more asymmetrical. Give VC a ton more tickets and crappier weapons, less ammo.

You unlock cosmetics with XP, but only two or three of them can give you any kind of advantage.

I've played with Japanese dudes in games like Blackwake before and they were super enthusiastic and fun to play with. One of them just never stopped yelling while ramming the ship into the enemy ships.

In that gundam game we had a Japanese guy in our guild and the only english he would ever type was "I'm gay"

I had a pretty cool round with a commander who wasn't calling squads by either their name or numbers who was nevertheless getting progressively more and more frustrated and angry that everyone was ignoring him.

Most of the time my commanders have been pretty decent. Though yesterday this actually happened:


Commander: Hey I see a bunch of you walking right towards the napalm strike! Get back!

Me and like 3 other dudes on voice chat: okay.......so where is the napalm coming?

Commander: look at your map (it wasnt on the map either but thats not the point)

I really really hate it when a VC commander uses his instant deploy ability when he's sitting way back at point A, meanwhile the squad leaders have great tunnel placement right near the fighting. Just because you can push the button doesn't mean you should!

Just played a round as VC commander on An Lao. Radiomen wouldn't come to me for the first several minutes while I was near B. Whatever, I can't use anything for the first couple minutes anyway. I try calling out to ignore C but of course the whole team goes there anyway. I go back to the spawn and call a recon, still no marks from SLs, then call AA to bring down the Spooky. I get a radioman and hang out at the DShK for a minute getting ready to call arty in when some rear end in a top hat griefer from the previous round TKs me and my radioman. He then proceeds to keep TKing me and we lose the round a couple minutes later. gently caress An Lao, gently caress idiots that do nothing but rush C, and gently caress servers that don't let you kick griefers.
