first, could i suggest haters reply elsewhere. my post is not meant to slam anything or anyone. i read alot of CoD comparisons on here, and putdowns of people who played it (but i take it as CoD set the bar, why else would it be referenced?). i love WW2 shooters and CoDUO/CoD2 had TONS of loyal players and servers - for YEARS, not months. and because so many people came to like that style of play because it was fun for them, don't knock them for it. for me and my friends - we had a blast. plus, you could tweak server files till the cows come home - which enabled everyone to have a server of their own personality. all in all, it was a blast to play and experience.
anyway, the sounds in RO aren't exactly overwhelming for sure. and the nade explosion fx and blast radius fx is very elementary visually. toss a nade so it will time to burst in the air and see what i mean. the graphics/engine/whatever used don't compare to what else is out there right now. disappointing? yes but i as i said, i love ww2 fps and THAT is why i bought it. realism aside - it's simply not as fun as i had hoped. and say what you want (and i know i will rustle some feathers) but if they were to redo CoDUO as it is - without all the this's and that's and addons and unlocks and perks, etc etc of the todays games - with the new engine (not the ro one however), a zillion people would buy it. and (maybe) half the people playing RO would leave to get their WW2 fix where it started for them.
BF2, etc will be out soon and i will move on. but i tried. i really did. but the first time i saw the sorry nade fx, that was it for me. realism also includes that, if weapon sway, etc are so important. plus the weapon sounds need alittle help also.
have at it! remember, this is my opinion. try the original half life if you want to shoot AND think. it was the best!
