Mongoloid is an offensive term, it's even listed under that on dictionary.com

Yeah, and I meant it offensively. Not as in you're an Asian, oh no, don't misinterpret me there. But rather, you're a mongoloid idiot.

Also, even though it was completely unintended, using the literal genealogical definition makes complete sense in that context.

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.



That sucks. This game really shines when the team is communicating properly. I'm guessing you play on US servers?

People don't talk to much on the euro servers, but when they do its mostly tactical. I like playing with a commander that informs us about his intentions and players who call out enemy movements or locations etc.

As a commander, I appreciate SLs who listen to me or at least give me some feedback on what they need and when they need it. I usually ask politely for marks and suggest a course of action for certain squads every now and then.

They made some TE versions of Anlo and Songbe. They are kinda screwy with 'enemy territory' way close to cap points.

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.
I did that in RO and someone named something like Waffen88 got really mad and it's worth it.

I was also playing with the username Gaythirst Meatcop.

Either you guys are joining servers labeled (KKK) or you're all full of poo poo in how often you're seeing racism and how rare team coordination occurs. In 95 hours, it hasn't been nearly as bad as this thread and the BF1 thread have sworn up and down is happening. Jesus christ, either gently caress with the racists until they get pissed and record the result, vote kick them or mute your poo poo for the 1 in 30 rounds that poo poo comes up. And be drat happy that this isn't RO2 where all of the long term Wehraboos hang out.

On a non-holyshitthisthreadisadumpsterfire note, they're also fixing US Shotguns in the next patch so you don't have to aim everything, but the Stakeout weird to get proper range on them. Pointman should get even better.

Every match I've played has had both insane amounts of lovely Asian accents and also the team coordinating while doing lovely Asian accents.

I just tune that poo poo out and don't mention on open chat that I'm Asian-American.

Gonna have to agree. The thread is totally blowing this all out of proportion based on my experience in the beta and in public.

voice chat is chill and most of the time there's some level of coordination going on over it. LOL at the dudes who can't handle it while they virtually murder people.

It's hit or miss, sometimes I get a server and no one is really talking. Sometimes you hop on and a group of like 3 guys are screaming racial slurs over top of each other. Also at the end of most matches someone is saying "GI go home" in Engrish.

This is nothing knew and especially not for Red Orchestra/Rising Storm games. But that doesn't mean it's cool, the older I get the less tolerance I have for people acting like poo poo heels in FPS games and just accepting that casual racism is fine. Yeah when I was in my teens playing CS I guess it didn't bother me, but I feel like at some point it would be nice if the gaming community moved further away from that poo poo.

Problem is the UI for muting people is really bad in this game, you have to remember who was talking and then going intoa sub menu and scroll through an un-ordered name list to mute them. It's more hassle than just muting everyone by default.

The only 60hz server I know of just loves these maps!

I remember that server, that bunker one looks like the example map the devs put out for mappers to learn how poo poo works



they put a bunch on the aussienz server and the basic results were

-der iwanberg: nostalgia trip for about 5 minutes until you realise how average it is with automatic weapons. Also no claymores for the us team to sweep the open areas with :(

-suong mu: pretty drat good, made by a veteran mapper so there's some experience there. foggy so it's possible for both sides to get the drop on each other, but the us gets 2 loaches to provide intel on tunnels and people's locations which makes it much fairer for US.

-te version of songbe: good chopper LZs are behind the VN spawn, so you can be confident there's about 5 people shooting you at all times. spawn protection zones are awful and it's way too easy to run into them

-krong: the mapper wants to have you fly in defenders via chopper and it's awful. not even a setup point like what darkest hour did to give the defenders time to set up.

there was also some massive jungle map that played like a conquest map, from what I found (flying one of four hueys) the map suffered immensely from a lack of LZs (you basically landed on an open clearing or not at all, even most of the caps were covered in trees) and being this dull green colour to the point of parodying gears of war's colour palette.

I play on European servers and apart from the first 2 days its mostly been fine to. On the servers I play on a commander and squad leaders doing useful full team coordination over comms is a fairly regular thing too :shrug:

It's not, it's Goons wildly over exaggerating how common it is. The worst we run into normally are people making fun of the over the top accent the Vietnamese side gets. Which is the same poo poo that used to fly around in RS1 with the overly religious Marine with an exaggerated southern accent. I've run into 3 actual racists in game in 95 hours and actively loving with them enhanced the game, not ruined it.

It could be goons wildly over exaggerating, or maybe it's that other people could have different experiences than you. I'm glad that you haven't run into many racists, but almost every time I play this game I run into people dropping any and all racial slurs and doing the classic ching chong bit.

Why would you read this thread without muting "turn off the TV"? It makes talking about the game better.

Played for three hours last night. Saw "GI go home" typed at the end of rounds, but didn't hear a single slur over voice. Plenty of coordination. Lots of fun, but I could do without An Loa. Seems like there's way too much unused space on that one.
