Hello, I've been lurking the forums for a while, so I thought "why not join them"? I'm Ricardo, 23 years old and from Portugal.
I've always been a huge fan of FPS with a huge multiplayer focus and I've played Battlefield 1942 up to 2142 (with some Arma occasionally and BF2 mods like Project Reality or Forgotten Hope). BF really let me down with BC2 and a lot of dumbed down mechanics like no squad leader/commander, etc, which I felt were a BIG part of the game.
I started looking at other options and found about Red Orchestra and it sounds fantastic. I tried Osfront at a friends house and had great fun, died a lot the first times, but I'm ok with it. Playing with others as a team, no running and gunning, -insert other stuff done in almost every FPS today-, felt really good, the immersion was fantastic (kind of like how Project Reality and Forgotten Hope works) and I look forward to try this one out. The clan I'm part of shares my opinion on the "new" Battlefield and we're all looking forward to this one. Pre-order is done, when the BETA gets announced I'm there, day one.
I've got a huge respect for this company (by the way, love Killing Floor
), the way they made it here shows a lot of hard work and dedication, and having a President giving interviews and playing his/their game while being himself a PC gamer is fantastic. Much love! <3
