Kenzie posted:This is an ultra violent historical military game, so of course it's gonna attract loads of people with violent, militaristic, fascist ideologies. Milsim and grognard-ish games seem to attract a lot of those types as well, but Red Orchestra is like a perfect game for them. You can play as a nazi and run around killing people and blowing their limbs off. It's not a milsim so you don't have to put much effort into learning to play, and it's not super casual either and has a more or less realistic and authentic feel to it, so you can satisfy your white male rage and nazi bloodlust. i've played every RO game since the first, i dont ever the casual racism being this obnoxious. i probably just got unlucky and ran across an unfortunate server but also after consideration i think the fact that it's vietnam themed aggravates things - it's much harder for your average american to come up with slurs against russians rather than vietnamese. last night i was playing against a group of dudes who absolutely would not stop chanting "me love you long time". i think i'll just hunt them down and tk them repeatedly boner confessor fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Jun 17, 2017 |

Honestly I think your best bet is to just turn of voice chat, it's that simple. You're really not gonna miss out on much %99 of the time. People are almost never discussing tactics, at worst you'll end up dieing to friendly artillery/napalm more often because you don't hear the commanders warning other than that it's just people trying to one up each other with terrible Engrish.

I remember it being really bad then as well, just because the game was new and fresh and everyone couldn't resist getting their CHING CHONG SHAMEFUL DISPRAY jokes out of the way and whatnot. I imagine that it's the same with RS2. And people do the same stupid stuff with the Americans too by going 'MURICA OORAH and THIS GUN FIRES 400 FREEDOMS PER MINUTE and so on. I can't really get too mad at it though. I haven't seen people do it all that much though, usually just at the beginning and end of a round. What annoys me are the people who get really angry when their team is losing and then take their frustration out on everyone else, calling them idiots or never shutting up with barking orders at the team. I saw one guy do this and he wouldn't shut up until he got votekicked.

BTW anyone who huffed at me for asking if Vietnam can use ambush without a radio because they "obviously" don't need one can go gently caress themselves because you definitely do need one. It's probably a bug but I've tested it with and without a radio in the same building and it consistently doesn't work without it.

The only time I start yelling at people to do things is when I'm commander, and then it's only to place markers and watch out for the support I'm going to request. gently caress the assholes that act like assholes because they're losing.

If someone is saying stuff in in-game voice chat that you don't like then just start ranting about how gay you are and how you've hosed the dude's dad in the anus and drank all of his cum. It's what I do and it works pretty well.

The ingame chat really needs a rework where command can only talk to squad leaders and the map reflects their positions. If your squad gets wiped because they run into your arty marker thats not really the commanders fault.

I saw one guy do this and he wouldn't shut up until he got votekicked. I had a good round where our commander was trying to micromanage all of our squads but was using weird milsim terms and names so even if we had wanted to follow his instructions we wouldn't have known what he was talking about. He slowly melted down over the course of the round and it was great.

Buschmaki posted:People don't place squad tunnels and I get extremely angry irl I was on songbe as VN had this exact experience when their choppers just cleaned up everyone's tunnels and the entire VN team gave up and was camping the B/D LZs. I ended up getting a monster kill just before the end of the round when even the huey pilots got out and were running around in crowds looking for the VN team. We followed this up with teamstacking onto the VN team on hue (this took a while due to the third team problem) and getting rickrolled there too, though that was in part due to a CIA agent taking commander

Its frustrating to give people warning then get stuck with a 1.30+ min spawn delay because of over aggressive players who get themselves killed and blame you that they don't have voice chat enabled. I mean there's already a pretty big delay between the artillery being called in and when the barrage actually begins, so reducing the TK penalty is a nice addition as people are usually team killed by artillery because one or both parties involved are idiots. If the commander is the one loving up he's probably still going to get a long respawn timer from killing so many friendlies, but if it's people not paying attention to the artillery marker and running into it the commander will be punished less. I think that the TK forgive option should pop up like a votekick or map change, though. I usually don't realize that I've been team killed or don't remember that it's an option.

Having it be more pronounced would help a lot i think.

I have played a lot of hours (around level 30 now) and I have never once had anything useful said on VOIP. Sometimes commander asks for a thing here or there but if you've played a lot it's really obvious where marks need to be and you don't need to talk about this. I'm hoping to get my friends to play so we can coordinate but that'd be discord... I just drown out the peoples dumbass voices with my vietnam playlist so it's just kinda background noise anyways.

One time some tacticool types ordered everyone to rush B at the start of Hue City and it worked, we won the map. But all of my other time in game has been teens and rednecks screaming racial slurs.
