I feel a bit mean doing it, but I turned the music off. It sounds really tacky in spots, and it gets really irritating on the German side. Has anyone else had it play the dramatic "DUUUUUUUUUN!" stinger while your team is losing, only to have it play again before the first one has finished?

I think most of it is MIDI, which certainly doesn't help.

Been playing with SalsaShark, having a blast with the machine gun. Got 32 kills keeping the Germans at bay on Grain Elevator. Meanwhile salsa admired the Russian architecture:
As things are right now the soviets are inferior to the wehrmacht in virtually every facet of the game. I don't really get the mkb whining however, because it's just an mp40 replacement and frankly they are both equally devastating in capable hands. Axis has better automatic weapons, pistols, tanks, everything. The only thing I prefer with the soviets is the mosin nagant because it has better ironsights than the kar98, and the grenades because they're harder to spot.
I realize that a lot of people enjoy RO for its realism but they really need to give some leeway in regards to the automatic weapons. The AVT kicks like a mule and is utterly useless, and the ppsh is in better shape but is still crap compared to the axis counterparts. You basically need to aim at the soldiers feet, fire a burst and let the recoil do the work for you. I think they should revert the ppsh's recoil back to where it was in the beta to even the playing field a little. Oh and bring out the t34 because the current tank just doesn't hold up at all.

The MKb is an MP40 with better stopping power, better penetration, higher accuracy (at least feels like it) and semi auto. The AVT on the other hand, like you already said, is utterly useless in full auto. Imo it's worse than MP40 vs. PPSh, the latter at least has the upper hand in close quarters where the recoil is possible to handle.spicy cho said:

Yup same thing just happened to me. Got a rifle kill and suddenly 8 achievements popped up at once, including stuff I definitely have not done in the game.

Steam refunded the game for me. Was surprised they did so, took them a 4 days to do so though. Will buy this when its in the sale, by which time it should be patched to awesomeness.

I bought this today on a whim. If your buying retail then be warned, you still have to download around 8Gb from steam. I wasn't happy about this
Just another two hours downloading and I can play it, finally

New patch incoming:
Ramm-Jaeger said:We've got an update uploaded to Valve that should be released today. The update includes the following changes:
- fixed DDE content being awarded when it should/shouldn't be
- fixed RO1 content being awarded when it should/shouldn't be
- fixed the server browser not responding after disconnecting from a game
- removed MKB/AVT from Squad Leaders/Commanders, only Assault gets it now
And an update released yesterday included an undocumented change:
- improved performance for the Ultra setting
And before anyone asks - no it does not fix/change every other possible thing under the sunIt fixes what it says it fixes, nothing more, nothing less. We're chewing through the issues as fast as we can, and you'll probably see another update on Monday.

Liking the game much better now that I've gotten much better. Being an effective commander, sniper, or machine gunner is still tough for me, but last night I played some really good Rifleman games. We were getting owned in the Trainyard map (forgot the exact name) by the German offensive and they quickly capped all the points (mode was Territory), but for a good 15 minutes we held them off of the last cap point. Even though we lost, I was so proud that we held them off that long.
Finally getting the hang of the anti-tank rifle because I kept compensating for some artificial bullet drop whereas my distance was perfectly fine. Such a nasty weapon when you see an enemy out in the open though. "That concrete wall you're hiding behind won't save you friend."
MP40 Squad Leader is a favourite rollout. My only problem is that my squad won't spawn on me when I am infiltrating a building, though I imagine a some of that would be put to blame on my lack of voice communication.Sober said:
