    Helicopter training

    The helicopter training video is nice...but is there another way to somehow learn how to use the helicopters? It seems there is one speed...and how do you land? I was all over the sky...controls...where are they, aside from directional? Thanks.

    Loving the noob

    Wow...that would be fun to play with guys who really lead like that. I often think that a lot more could be accomplished by a team if fire-and-manuver techniques were used and verbal instructions given to the players. Most of the time I hear the complaints of what someone has or has not done but...

    Rising Storm Beta Rising Storm Beta So there have been multiple downloads of RS Beta? One yesterday, right? I went to the server after the download at about 1900 hours Eastern, and could not get into the server...then it all crashed...had to reboot...my question...is the server fragile or...

    Just an update, please

    The Rising Storm game is excellent, obviously just my opinion...seems to be much more brutal than RO2...maybe because I have not yet had the opportunity to play as much as I want, but certainly is a challenging series of maps and battles...looking forward to its growth like RO2 Stalingrad. My...

    BOTS - Again, maybe

    Played Japanese side on Iwo Jima tonight. The Japanes Bots ran around like ants after their nest was kicked. Why can't the Bots be programmed to run to the noted "Protect" or "Attack" or "Destroy" points and just hang in there...laying down cover fire rather than running around and getting in...

    RS ALT key - prone problem

    While playing Rising Storm Beta last night, when I used the ALT key to go prone, the screen would go blank, then re-appear but not in the full screen size that I had selected. A smaller, bordered screen would appear after a stuttering display. Once prone started working, it seemed to function...

    Steamauth failed

    Steam Auth Steam Auth Had this hit me three times last night. Also...looked like only a few servers were showing up as populated...only 270 to 300 were showing...I know that was not right. A lot of the more popular servers were not showing any players.

    CTD/ Ro2 has stopped working

    Problem with RO2 Problem with RO2 Okay...not sure what has happened, but when i try to get into RO2...like the hundreds of times I have before, I either get kicked out because it says the "Steamer has timed me out" or I see hardly anyone playing RO2...what has happened??? I tried Steam's...

    Effective Teamwork in RO2

    I don't care to be given a label, but if my playing is considered to be "a pubber", or "lone wolf", or whatever...then I guess I am guilty. I am not sure how a player like me, who really does try to follow "orders", loses such a negative connotation. I enjoy the games that have a lot of chatter...

    Origin of Game Name

    I was recently reading the book, "Berlin at War", and came across reference to a faction of people who were politically opposed to the National Socialist Party before and during WWII until they were pretty much eliminated by the national police. They were referred to as "Red Orchestra" in this...

    Best Time to Play

    Thanks for the replies. Yes...I have focused on the ping numbers that appear when I start the game as opposed to the Steam access. I have seen what you describe...good points.

    Best Time to Play

    I live on the East Coast of the U.S. (Maine) After I get home from work, have supper, watch the poor excuses for local and national news...some of The Colbert Report...sip a bit of wine...then wander in to the computer room for a good dose of escapism into Stalingrad, I usually see around 500...

    Help with maps

    Please tell me where to find or identify objective names on the maps. During the battles, message will appear that say the Allies or Axis have captured "the schoolhouse" or another such building or objective name. When I refer to the map, if I can without getting shot, I do not see the names of...
