Jeez Hannula, stop being so 'self-entitled', and what does realism mean anyway 
/serious mode on
I don't necessary care about these odd weapons in the server or the influence they have on gameplay, but those guns to me destroy the whole RO feeling, at least how I experienced it: The only WW2 game which felt like you were a regular soldier fighting the war where tactics were far more important then the gun in your hand, not some special fully outfitted super soldier like most other games.

To me, realism=(fun) means no Nagant revolvers with silencers, no Mkb42 or AVT40 im not starting to make a list but ya, i have no clue what you mean with self-entitled, i want to protest even it wouldnt have any effect, after all, im the one of the clowns who will buy this game.

EXACTLY why I am concerned at the moment. If it was just a few guns that were odd or extremely rare where gameplay wasn't terribly impacted I would be fine. But it's clear there is much more of this rare stuff then we previously thought, at every level of game play (main weapons, attachments, etc etc).
This means that it will be hard and harder to find a server that features the kind of content that people might want if they want to stick to a more historically accurate game. With SO many crazy rare things in game, it's going to be increasingly hard to find servers that actually cherry pick out what is needed.
I was under the impression that the AVT40 and the Mkb42 were going to be the "rare weapons" of RO2. I could handle that, because the impact on gameplay would be minor. I could see myself playing on servers that had these weapons. But now that I see that it goes much deeper, I don't like the idea that I could become one of "those people" hides in the corner of the community and tries to play a different game from everyone else.

On a note about the free aim in iron sights....I do really like how the MP40 jumps up, free of the screen, when it kicks. It looks much more natural.
That, aside from my prior critiques of the system.

Am I the only one getting no sound?
Looks like Realism mode. Nice to see most of the junk not on the screen.
The cover system looks great, but at times looks like he gets "stuck on it". Still looks better than most games. I am looking forward to trying that.
I still don't like how the player discards the AVT magazine. I thought they where taught to retain magazines?
Aside from that the graphics look cleaned up and far less blurry than the screen shots.
This is what I am waiting for. I'll have to hear form others how many low ping American realism mode servers there are. I'd play RO1 right now so more, but being forced to play on the same server over and over again isn't fun. I don't want this to be my experience for RO2.
Someone gets it.

Never seen so much whining over a bad quality shaky cam clip, without audio, of the game clearly in uber relaxed death match mode to ensnare the average gamer.
Anyone who really thinks that's a true indicator of RO2 as a whole, clearly is lacking a grasp on reality. Ah, how the RO forums have changed over the years. Increasingly I'm seeing bitter vet syndrome

Well, we've been begging for gameplay videos and, well, I guess that was a gameplay video. I couldn't help but notice the lach of weapon collision (I don't mind, it's usually mort frustrating than intuitive) and the plum colored bolt on the SVT-40. Was that how they really were in 1942? Last time I read about them, I think I remember it had something to do with importing them to the US.

COD2 and BF1942 were the gateway drugs into RO (for me). I don't understand why people think it is a crime to come from zomg mai gawd mainstream gamez.

Because some people bring their zomg mai gawd culture with them. ( im not saying you did, you are part of realism unit lol)

The realism people are right that it don't feels like COD...i mean RO, when you have MKB42 and silence at every corner.
But also the crowd who says we have no clue to what extend we will see this weapons on the battlefiled are right.
So we have to wait. For me the videos looked like Red Orchestra with a much brighter setting and thats good because i feared the typical movement will be screwed. The cover system looks nice and i hope that was relaxed realism with death messages and other stuff.

I agree there is nothing wrong from moving from one community like COD to RO or for TWI to purposely try and attract the player bases from COD and Battlefield.
For example in RO some of the After Hourz team moved over from COD:UO, myself and Psycho Sam who worked on Mare Nostrum moved over COD2. Anenas who co-founded Darkest Hour had been working on COD/BF skins, RGN guys moved across to RO from COD1/2. Those are just some examples I can think of, there are countless others.
For RO2 I hope we'll see talented modders from the COD scene like Joker and Zeroy move over to the RO community full time.
It's a good thing that RO is attracting COD/BF players and Modders. Obviously there will be some undesirables that come across as well but they'll soon be weeded out.

Not every1 wants to play unreal tournament w/ "realistic" looking weapons (BC2) or play clunky walking simulators (ARMA2), RO is the thing in between..
I understand you "breathe WW2" and even have uniforms and stuff, hat off for that, but stop being so selfish damnit! You want every1 to have less relevant content, less people to enjoy the game, and the devs to get less reward for doing 50x more research than any of those lazy slacker studios who spam the market with DLC crap.. all because there's finally a WW2 game with more than 10 boring weapons every1 has already seen 1kk times in 1000 other WW2 games.
I didnt give a shiz about RO1 despite hearing it has lots of epic features ONLY because its a WW2 game.. ive had that stigma of "Ive already played that 1kk times before" kinda like people go "COD MWx = MWy".
Now its the same about my friends, told em about all the features and epicness RO2 will have but the response ive got was "Sounds great, I just dont like WW games".. and theyre not (too) casual, none played MW, some even despise BC.
Now I can try again with some video footage and present it as a completely different WW2 game, not just COD2/MOH with better gfx and cover system or w/e.

Considering how crazy the battles got I don't care that you see odd weapons here and there. Just because you don't see them in pictures and films doesn't mean they weren't necessarily being used by someone. Anyway, even on servers where those types of weapons are included, I'm sure they'll be very limited; i.e. not every player has it. I'm glad we can use new, interesting weapons as the same old things get boring after a while. Diversity is the spice of life, though the many armchair military historians seem to disagree.
