??what?You do realize you just listed the pinacle of innovation in the "war-shooter" genre in an argument to prove war-shooters can't be innovative!?

The pinnacle was OFP/ArmA, not RO.
The whole is bigger than the sum of its parts.A nice feature, the game has a few of them, but it doesn't make RO revolutionary.
Wow, you must have a pretty soft definition of "revolutionary" then. There's like maybe 10? games in the last decade that deserve that certificate and RO is definetly not one of them. OFP, maybe, but not RO.
Exactly. Revolutionary would mean it gave big impulses/changed the FPS-genre which it by all respect did not.I didn't say it wasn't innovative, I said it wasn't revolutionary.
Well at first, sorry but RO didn't make iron sights popular. Alone the fact that RO:O was released in June 2006 should show this. Or do you think all the games(bf2, cod, dods, etc.) before this dates were like hey look at this semi-popular UT2K3/UT2K4 mod Red Orchestra, we should copy their ironsights.RO is one of the few games (mods, actually) that made iron sights in computer games popular. That's definitely innovative. Think of it. How many mainstream games before RO had iron sights? Only OFP I think. RO came out before the first Call of Duty if I'm not mistaken.
As well as resting your weapon on anything of course, which, unfortunately, I haven't seen being copied by any game. Maybe it'll take another year or two for the mainstream devs to catch up with that.
The mods are always the ones that innovate, not popular games, which is why I'm a big mod supporter.

Believing this is naive.Yes. RO did make iron sights popular (together with OFP, Infiltration etc). Game devs do look at the mods and copy from them.
