Is RO OSTFRONT any different

[*Slayer_2]

Guess what trying to get the mod working on my friends comp guess what I found linux can run RO with somthing called Cedega---Oh yeah lol anyhow I will try it and if it screws up then oh well I will give it to my XP using friend. I am running SUSE linux will that work with Cedega? I might not buy it though so much to buy and I already have the mod I'll sleep on it Gnite all,

Just make a dual-boot. make a partition/new disk where you install winxp and RO. So, your main sys is running Linux but when you want to play RO just need to reboot your PC.
The adv. of this approach is that you don't get any performance loss from the emulation/api calls translation.

I have XP but it dosn't have any internet.

Then dual-boot it on the computer that -does-.



Or, even simpler, spend $40 and get a cheapo router, then both computers can have internet.

 

[WOO]

hmm. I wanted to set up RO on my Linux with wine but the problem is that steam crashes when the hardware survey pops out annoying.....

Also if anyone ask me if he/she should buy RO:O I always say:
If you like realistic gameplay then yes!

 

[*Slayer_2]

I'm probably just going to stick with the mod

Loan 20 bucks from someone, buy it, then play it. You can still play the Practice mode, on Party fanatic skill level.

But I run Linux and well money isn't the problem I'm not going to far out of my way for a game when I already have the mod. About playing against bots, I'm fine with them but can they use MGs and act more human in this version? In the mod they are retarded.

[Lt_Kettch]

Yeah right ...

the bots are still retarded, they spray with there SMGs, can barely use a rifle and use tanks.

But they are to stupid for nades, arty and all the stuff. But bots stink anyway even if they are "clever" I prefer stupid humans


The mod and the retail game are not the same . Retail is far better imo. But I think you don't want to find out slayer since it would be cruel knowing how great this game is and not being able to play it

 

[*Slayer_2]

ooooooo sounds like a challenge! on guard moissuer! I think you will never experience the joy of satcheling a slow *** tank driven by 3 noobs or blowing up a tank from over a mile with a single PRDT shell. Take that
*Slayer_2

 

[Eddyz Aquila]

Conclusion: RO Retail kicks ***. Buy the game, dont be a n00b.

 

[*Slayer_2]

ooooo another challenge! I already said (multiple times) that I run Linux and will probably never use XP on my comp (yep I'm a noob) Hopefully Tripwire realizes the Linux mod fans market and adds support for Linux. Until then I can only dream, Slayer out,
*Slayer_2

 

[Eddyz Aquila]

N00b.

Mate, get an XP to play RO. RO rules, and you cant miss this opportunity. If you want, try those spamtastic offers you get in the mailbox every day.

OEM XP for free if you buy Viagra and send account information to Vanuatu or Kiribati.

 

[*Slayer_2]

lol the mod takes more skill I bet especially stamina wise
*Slayer_2

 

[WOO]

I made some progress with wine and steam; I basically have it working now. RO:O runs as well but there are 2 problems:
1. Shadows on players aren

 

[*Slayer_2]

I don't think it's worth the money and time trying to get RO working on Linux Oh well I guess I'll just have to "miss out" but really man you should try the mod V3.3 it kicks ***!
*Slayer_2

 

[Lt_Kettch]

Retail RO would turn your world upside down.

You are in my prayers.



(and btw I am an Atheist, get windows or I will avoid you would be great wouldn't it?)

but really man you should try the mod V3.3 it kicks ***!
*Slayer_2

heh - I tried it online for the first time ever last night and although in all we ended up at max 8-10 players, it was indeed something to experience! While I can sort of hold my own in RO:OST, I was thoroughly whipped in the mod.

You gotta love the original realism effects: no movement when prone and aiming or reloading; your body feels more heavy and slow-moving; iron sights darkens the edges of your vision; etc., etc. Playing RO:OST again afterwards was so much easier - almost.. *gasp* - dare I say - ... arcade-like.

Also, the mod colours seem less washed-out and the object detail is imo much more - now I understand more how this mod won the UT prize.

So yes, methinks Slayer has a point ..

 

[*Slayer_2]

Does methinks think he can play us on the funlevel server (It's the best and most played with lots of custom maps also up 24/7) this weekend? Tell me your in-game name and we could team up

P.S. "Retail RO would turn your world upside down.

(and btw I am an Atheist, get windows or I will avoid you would be great wouldn't it?)" Well depends how you look on it

I'm an Atheist to but I may get a vista yay! I'm actually looking at the (Linux usable) Quake wars total opposite of RO but I'm a quake nerd

simply because developers guys that was responsilbe for realism part of RO left to develop Insurgency mod so dont expect RO:OST to be realistic like mod <3.3 was.
