I would've went out and bought the DDE if they kept true to their routes (IMO). Now I am skeptical about paying $27 for the normal version. Such a shame.

considering the forces they're contending with, i'm surprised they're making this game as detailed and realistic as it is.

it could be worse you know. like 60 dollars for a call of duty rehash.

I played it for an hour last night and I agree with shadylurker. It doesn't feel as fast as it looks in the videos, the pace of the game is excellent in my opinion. I tried both sides bolt action rifles and SMGs and really enjoyed the way the handled. The frist person cover system works well and the game just feels much more polished on the whole (as far as gameplay, I had the same server browser crashes many were experiencing).

I didn't get to spend enough time with it to form a complete opinion but in the time I did spend with it I really, really liked it.

so...you guys are able to play... ?

Attempt 1... once i got into the MP screen the mouse wouldn't move, jumping all over.

Attempt 2... quick join said nothing available but then tried to connect to a server...for 15 mins.

Attempt 3... program not responding.

will reboot and try a couple more things... but so far can't get in game myself.

Thought I was having deja vu then shadylurker but I had just read your post on the Tripwire forums

I still don't know whether I have played on a full realistic server yet as they claim it is but there are still huge names above the players.

I guess my complaint is I cant stand games where my brain and hands are 5 steps ahead of what the game is doing.

[quote=MaceUK33] I mean I like realism but the first one was a little over the top.

Honestly, there is nothing whatsoever realistic about going into the same, unchanged combat area for the 100th time...

I was pretty much cleaning house on the maps I played yesterday. I love that that you can actually hit people past 10m with a SMG.

The MP40 feels a lot like the real life version I've fired.

Oh lord don't post that on the steam forums, they are crying about getting killed by SMG's. I personally think the games infantry is perfect, I just hope none of these whiny kids that don't know what a FPS is ruins it. Game takes me back to the original DOD days, and this game as it plays right now is how I always wanted Day of defeat and RO1 to play.

Rule number one of RO2:
Team work.

that's how all FPS should be but sadly that has gone away. I like this game a lot.

IMO the problem is that most firefights in RO2 are still at a rather short distances, rarely more than 100m. And SMGs, despite their reputation, are actually quite decent weapons within that range.

People are so used to the extreme close-range fights of modern shooters where engagement ranges are usually just a couple of dozen meters that even 100m in RO seem like "ohmygawd he sniped me with that MP40 from ALL across the map!!!"

nice pics but way to much overlay info... looks to cluttered. (still haven't gotten it to run on my machine.)

That's the death screen.. he's waiting to respawn so it's giving you info. All that stuff can be regulated server-side too. ADMIN REMOVED (particularly on a server with more realism functions).

A patch has also been released which fixes many of the issues with crashes (not all - it IS a Beta after all).

FozzyBear amusingly enough I may have been playing in that game! PFC Veld [29th] is part of my realism unit in Darkest Hour (an uber realism mod for RO1 that depicts the Western Front with American, British and Canadian forces). See: Darkest Hour The Game

A lot of the 29th are dismayed with the Call of Doodying of the game.. but we've been spoiled by the realism that DH gives us! Once the full game is released and our brilliant modders sink their teeth into it then I predict a bright realism future indeed!

Pre-ordered the game today.

It's probably one of the best investments you will make. Not only does the game come with a UDK, but years of support from TWI, a large community and some really awesome mods in the works. It's basically a game that keeps on giving.

patch is out but there are no game servers up... uhhhg can not play.

so whats that picture of or from? RO2?

If so, it don't help you and FozzyBears constant argument on how great RO2 is compared to everything else. lol

asking here.

Flogger, if you already have the beta I can't give you another key - stop entering the competition

I was online about 10 mins ago - and I think your steps look fine. Are you fully updated in Steam, as there was a version bump which is why you might not see servers?

One of those guns is correct, if someone else wants to reply to win..

Some screen shots and a vid on the highest settings. I get low frame rates and constant stutters at 1680x1050. Some maps I get 8 or so frame rates. I have a GTX 260, 4GB RAM, and an AMD 965.

Overall I do not find the game fun.

Walther P38 if the deal is still on.

Flogger, from looking at your video I have a few suggestions ...

- My video card is similar to yours but I’m getting good framerates. What I’ve done is turn everything to Ultra at 1920*1080 but turned off bloom and blur (who would ever want that? ), shadows to medium, post processing to low (post processing usually means more blur anyway) and antialiasing to FXAA Low (I find that the more FXAA you have, the blurrier it gets as well).

- I think you might have the “Disable sprint key zoom” box in the gameplay settings checked because I notice that you’re not zooming in at all while you're looking around or while looking down your sights.

- Don’t forget to use your Tactical Display (I think the default is T) to quickly check what the objective is and to know where the squad leader is and what his orders are.

- Don’t forget to check your Overhead Map for stuff like your team’s movements.

This definitely ain’t your typical lone wolf run and gunner and it may not seem that fun when you first start but once you learn the ropes, it gets good ... real good.
