I just logged into the forums to see how things are going. Bad it seems. I just wanted to have a thread near the top for a minute that has something positive to say about the game (as I am at work, and not currently glued to the game).
I, personally, have had little problems with the beta. I have experienced a few crashes here and there, but nothing too crazy.
The only gripes I have are the prone only working if you are very careful about where you go prone, and the mouse wheel not instantly changing my weapon, as in ROOst.
Other than that, the game has been great. I come from console shooters and was looking for something more "real". ROOst did it for me. I only purchased ROOst because of the ballistics, tanks, and because I wanted to see if RO2 was worth checking out. In my opinion, ROOst is a game that does not receive nearly enough credit for what it is, and is a legend among FPS's.
This game is different. But perhaps in time, will become a legend in its own right. Still, I've had a great time with it every time I've played. Amazing time even. Very memorable moments occur, that are sometimes startlingly realistic. And I believe that the feel of Stalingrad may have been accomplished, as fighting from room to room is a common occurrence, and gets the heart pumping. Tanks get some getting used to, but are pretty fun once you get the hang of them.
I do need to reiterate that the game has been working perfect for me, except for the occasional crash. I do consider it a beta though (I've heard some do not, though the Dev's call it that), and am fine with it.
So, there it is. It isn't as bad as you would think looking at the threads. There are some who love it...they just aren't on the forums. They are malnourished, sleep deprived, and killing fascists/commies even as you read this.
