Hey there everyone, I'm in search of a new online shooter for the PC that I can play in my spare time. Red Orchestra seems to be just it. I've heard the game is great and the community is even better, but before I buy it, I'd like to ask some questions about the game.
1) How is the learning curve? I understand the game promotes realistic gameplay, so how long will it take me to get used to that? I never played the RO mod for Unreal Tournament
2) I won't have problems finding servers with actual people in them will I? I live in the US on the East Coast so I'll mostly be playing at night. If I wanted to play during the day though, would servers with people in them be up? I honestly don't want to play with bots at all. Even if there are only a few servers with a lot of people in them all of the time that's fine, since I can get to know people better.
3) Is there lag? I have a cable connection, so I should be good to go.
4) How is the VoIP? Can you hear your teammates clearly?
5) Speaking of teammates, do people actually work together, or is it more of everyone just doing their own thing and going solo? I hope this isn't the case.
I'd appreciate it if you guys could answer as many of my questions as possible. Thanks.
