Well i'm one of thousands that have downloaded red orchestra for its 5 day trial. Just gonna post my thoughts on the game....
Good:
- I know many people agree realism in a video game is bad, but RO's dev team have managed to achieve a FUN realism game.
- Hitbox on people, i think there are 10 different hitboxes on each person... head, each feet, each hand, each arm. shoulder, chest, abdomen.
- Blur from explosions/shrapnel
- LMG/MG you can ACTUALLY USE FOR COVER. You don't even have to kill them, the fact that it blurs the enemy's screen enough for their aim to be extremely skewed.
- Tank Hitboxes... if you can nail that sweetspot. So many different hitbox locations on that tanks.
- Weight of bullet actually changes its displacement and course when shot.
- Amount of ammo affects your staminin
- You can shoot peoples weapons out of their hands. This included in meele, you can knock peoples weapons out of their hands making them defenceless
- ABSOLUTE SWEET DESIGNED MAPS. Some of the maps are just detailed insanely.
- Good level design on MOST of the maps
- Any bullet that whizzes past you makes ur screen a little blurry or you hear that whippy sound
- Being shot in the legs makes you slower
- Shot in the arm/hand affects your aiming
- You can shoot people if part of their body is exposed in vehicles
- Mwheel to allow different views/exposure levels in vehicles.
- GREAT SOUND, explosions sound real and make ya shriek when u hear bombs whistling down.
- Generally, a WW2 version of operation flash point with better graphics and better online gaming idear.
- Good class system. You actually need something of everything otherwise its extremely hard.
- In built irc, inbuilt server brower. Inbuilt news... updates. Basically the server broswer in all Unreal games.
Bad:
- Aiming system.... absolutely stuipd how long it takes just to bring the iron sites up.
- Non-friendly newbie game.
- Hard to get into
- Unless your into realism, you won't like this game.
- Falling down a little breaks your legs... comon
- Do we HAVE TO SPAWN SO FAR AWAY
- 3 tk's and your kicked... ouch considering you can prop a grenade, get killed and it drops down beside your corpse blowing up 3 team mates.
- No crosshair... i personally don't mind it. But i'm sure others will just put a little market on their monitor, or just whinge about it.
Conclusion: I'm extremely happy with this game. It's great to watch, great to play and just great in general. Although i really REALLY don't like the aiming system, i guess i can live with it considering how good the rest of the game is. I'll definently be buying this when the trial runs out. Its basically a substitute untill OFP2 comes out or something of an equivilent. I strongly recommend this as it beats the **** out of COD2 or BF2.
