IT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT MEIN FUHRER!

But for reals the best thing to do about racists in game is choose ignore them. You can choose was does and does not anger you, these guys are just a bunch of nobodies being shitheads on the internet. They should not be so upsetting.

it's not trying to. bf games are much, much more arcadey than redorchestra style games. this is a game for ppl who liked ro/ro2 and it does that pretty well imo.

Ya it's a totally different game style than BF and I think they did a real solid job here.

As was the case in RO it is really, really important to play on a server with good players... And the groups of good players are still kinda moving around a lot in this, so it's super hit or miss.

This game could use like a bunch more maps. How did they ship this with only 5 maps?

I mean there is firebase and compound but no one ever plays those cause they suck.

For the price I find it difficult to complain to much. Many full prices games only come with 8-10. More maps would certainly be a plus though and I look forward to the workshop launching.

the easiest way to ignore the racists is just to not play the game thats chock full of racists if i have to compromise by turning off the parts of the game that allow people to be racist at me

again overwatch handles this extremely well. RS2 just has a backwards interface and attitude towards how selectively muting players enhances a game

drat, that is infuriating. You should try the euro servers, I've played this game for 26 hours and never ran into any voice chat racists. There was one fucker who spouted a bunch of racist poo poo in the chat. I did my old RO trick; First an obvious teamkill to get them riled up, and then pretend to attack them, shoot them in the leg with a pistol etc to get them to TK you in turn. Act all butthurt in chat, let them gloat, then do the same again until they TK you enough to get kicked the gently caress out of the server.

Making maps is hard. Look at their patch notes though they certainly aren't slacking.

There are already a few custom maps that people have put up on servers for testing, a couple of which are incredibly high quality so far. It should also be entirely possible to cannibalize the supremecy maps for territories, or flip the spawns of the territories maps for some more variety.

Is there a way to give up the squad leader role when you get it? I seem to inherit it by getting promoted into the spot during a game and I'm not exactly sure how this happens.

Most of the time it's not a big deal, but being promoted to Squad Leader as an American sniper sucks for everyone, because I'm usually at a spot where no one want to spawn from. It's not so bad as the VC because I can just dig a tunnel as I go to my setup point.

Speaking of new maps, it looks like all of the old Red Orchestra/Rising Storm maps are fully compatible with the RS2 SDK. I've been able to load a few RO2 maps and run around as a PLN soldier with an AK. The problem I'm running into, though, is that I don't know how to get the textures and lighting working properly. I'm not familiar with the Unreal editor or the RO2 version, so I'm just kind of guessing as to how things work at the moment.

When I squad lead on the US I try to be the Radioman. He isn't picked a lot so the role is probably open. Then you just let people spawn and throw smokes, running back and forth to the ammo crate. Sometimes the commander may want to use you to make a collect call and you let him.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
US commander honestly should be getting a huge amount of kills if he is making good decisions.

there are some good tutorials that can give you a decent start, but i wouldn't recommend trying to import/modify RO2 maps for this. it'd be easier in the long run to remake it on your own, so you don't get glitchy textures and lighting and can ensure all objectives and markers are properly placed, whereas importing you can miss small things and then poo poo gets weird.

I was actually able to get some RS maps to load with almost every single asset properly textured, sky box working, etc. While I'm not sure how you would be able to get that stuff loading in the client, I was thinking more along the lines of custom map creators having a leg up in recreating their old content.

Anyone else get the red screen bug? Happens when you get dropped off by heli into an area outside the combat zone. Screen turns red because you've got a few seconds to get back onto the map before you die, but once you do, the infrared predator-style screen doesn't go away.

I did an experiment. I played on a few official Tripwire servers and only got the GI GO HOME at the end of the match and the occasional person speaking in Engrish. Then I jumped on a server with custom maps and it was over the top racism and autistic screaming. After 30 or so minutes, the admin came on and kicked them. Then the server went back to GIs going home.

Generally this gets answered fast but babby arguments in the thread probably clogged it up a bit. If you join the CTS Mumble we have a channel that's usually active at later times in the day for NA and also some eurogoons that play on NA servers anyway during the day (ping hasn't had a huge affect on my gameplay in any of the RO/RS games) as long as it's a US East server. There is a Discord for the game but I've not used it, so I can't really speak on whether or not it's frequently active.

The gameplay is vastly different, it takes almost all the gameplay and mechanics from RO2/RS1 for the most part, just with a Vietnam theme. The only other thing I'd argue is comparable is maybe the Vietnam maps from Project Reality.

Has anyone seen/played a custom map yet? I'm pretty sure the servers that say they have custom maps just allow a weird 64 man clusterfuck version of the 16 man Skirmish maps included with the base game.

Few I've played were 64 player territories maps. There's probably 5 or so floating about that I've seen, none are particularly great yet though, pretty unfinished.
