Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad |OT| You're already dead... by friendly fire
- Thread starter demolitio
- Start date
I was running after my squad leader (Nickiepoo, another GAFer), as we were dashing for the objective. I hide behind a wall while he jumps into a crater. Arty falls all around us. I then make a dash for it. Fire pins me down so I jump into the crater as well. I notice his mangled corpse in the crater. As my stamina recovers, I try to make a final sprint.
But I never left the crater.
But I never left the crater.
Most excellent...muahahaha. I was lucky to even get the coordinates in as I dodged fire, but I saw how many were near the wall and I got excited and figured it was my duty as CO to make sure no Russian got close.Llyranor said:
I fell in love with the MP40 tonight as well. It's so damn good for a person like me who usually rushes to the front line.
I would like to ask 3 questions.
1. Is this game MP only?
2. Is it worth it for $32USD?
3. Has there been a patch released since the game launched?
Not very exciting questions I know, but there is a special on for cheap and I'm umming and arring about jumping in even if it's just for a few weeks.

Jumped from Honor level 25 to 35, and somehow my Kar98 jumped from 8 to 23
Stat fix + reset asap
2. Yes. If you are wary, wait for the inevitable free weekend
3. Yes there have been two now with various fixes, and they'll be continuing to patch until problems are to a minimum

1. No it has single-player campaigns for both Germany and Russia, albeit the multiplayer maps with bots afaikGen X said:

if we're sharing war stories:
i was crawling on my belly over one of the rail carts on station, trying to get an angle on an enemy reinforcement line. i scanned my periphery and caught a glimpse of a german mauser pointing straight at me some 40 meters away, leaning out from behind one of the larger carriages. i let off a mosin-nagant round in his direction and immediately ducked behind the lip of the cart, ready to make precisely zeroed second shot. i raised back up to take it, and again the german leaned in my direction. i clicked to let off another round but quickly realized i hadn't bolted my rifle. i thought i was dead.
yet in the time it took me to rebolt my rifle, the german soldier's lean had continued into a fall. he was gut shot from the first round and had bled out slowly.
my relief at this point did nothing to prepare me for the bayonet wielding kraut sneaking up on me from behind.

Wrong game to start to play...i guess (is not hard but not easy, no rambo-MW-Style here XO)
Until the download its complete play Portal(is free on steam)...
EDIT: You know what? its a perfect game to back to PC, its a game that you never see on console, is not a console kind of game
I love manual bolting. Every death because I forgot to bolt is always worth laughing at. Situations like this are hilarious because it's that ridiculous trope where both guys turn the corner but the guy who gets the drop on you has a weapon jam or something. I died with a looted empty rifle once, that was hilarious stuff.ghst said:
Although for bleeding out, I wish they just put you in 3rd person cam so I know I have no chance to recover.

Actually, I tell a lie, I forgot I went on a bit of a binge of PC games in Sept last year when I bought a gaming rig. Played a bit of Metro 2033, Arma 2 OA and Stalker (Which I bought for $1.99 about 3 years ago in a Steam sale in anticipation of getting a gaming rig).
But aside from that, even the PC games I've been playing recently like Crysis 1&2, Dead Island and Deus Ex were all played with a 360 controller. I know RO2 will require a mouse and I am cool with that.
We need to do a GAF server blitzkrieg sometime soon where we all try to get on and join the same server and have some fun and we could split it up by hemispheres if people are worried about pings.
I think that would be a lot of fun. I pretty much only join a game when I see a gaffer is playing there so I've played with a lot of you I'm sure but you probably never noticed except for the poor souls that met my artillery today. They had no choice but to notice my wrath!
I'm having a lot more fun with this game now and I'll be hooked to it once the performance issues are ironed out. I still have a memory leak or something after so long of playing the game so it makes it hard for me to play for hours on end. Tonight was probably the most I've played ever since the last night on the beta when it ran well.
My ingame name is -Demo- so look out for me. The group is really coming in handy for joining you guys.

....and no dice. Tried about 8 different servers and getting the same result. Choose class, join game, wait to spawn and then by the time I spawn it's like the connection has times out. Players no responding, sometimes I can't move, but all the same results, no gameplay. Not sure what is up with it.

Enjoying it so far, just figured out the squad leader-y/radio stuff from a youtube video.
I seem to be better at rifling in the short time I've played this than I ever was in RO, although part of that could be because most of the people playing this are still getting used to it. Performance is OK, I have it set on high with AA knocked down a bit, and I'm not having any serious issues... yet.

Try this fix: Telnet Fix
Had the same problem as you, and only this helped me. Good luck...

okay after two days of frustrating experiences i had a pretty nice round today. it was on that map with the trains. i was upstairs in one of the buildings and couldnt see any enemies at all. after a while i noticed the muzzle flashes in the windows in the building opposite to me. i was able to kill at least 5 only by shooting at the spots where i saw the flash (to hide better i wasnt standing right at the window but a little bit further away from it). the 6th flash i saw was meant for me and i dropped down dead.

I really wish they had some auto-join feature for those full servers.NIN90 said:

I dont have the greatest PC by any means. But this game runs like crap for me. Most often, when I turn more than 45 degrees, my FPS chokes up. It's almost like It has to load it all into the memory again. I have 8GB of ram, could I have a memory problem?

Should be OK, Running a 5850 and AMD qc. Performance has taken a hit with the latest patch for me though. In general I'd disable the in-game AA and if you want to have it, force it externally. Disable ambient occlusion and play around with one thread lag. For some disabling it nets more frames, for others it's the other way round. Try disabling dof in the ini and motion blur in the menu.legacyzero said:
MLAA runs way better than FXAA on my 5850 (in-game settings that is). I wouldn't use the in-game at all in the current state (see above).Sethos said:

good to know I'm not the only one then.. I'll have to play around with it some more. It's the only game I own out of the 100 that freaks out like this with the FPS.Phife Dawg said:

I hope I am not expecting too much from Tripwire in terms of improving performance on my rig.

GTS 450
4 GB ram
I can't manage a steady 30 fps for any setting from medium to lowest. It spikes from 35 down to 15 regardless of the setting. I'm beginning to wonder if any improvements they make are really going to give me a significant boost.

That's good for you. Runs bad for me. The in-game AA options don't look good and take a lot of resources - best to leave them disabled.Sethos said:
They should just restart everything (achievements, progress etc.), weapon progress is totally bugged atm.R2D4 said:
Rough day today...
Realized stats doesn't save. Wonder when I'll get to try out new weapons.
Crashed about 5-6 times.
Ping was around 300 regardless of server.
Got that server disconnect bug, solved it with that Telnet fix ( thanks ).
Still not giving up, I love this game too much.

Did anyone have their hits not register properly? Like putting bullets into a guy and seeing them connect but no kill?
First I thought it was a ping issue but I also encountered this with normal pings.
This build seems to be the most unstable yet for me. I had a couple CTDs as well and I also get crackling and distorted sound effects.

I got that on two occasions as well, don't know what the cause is. Was on different servers with different settings. Sound drivers are up to date.rabhw said:
