Another random RO2 comparison thread found ...

[hockeywarrior]

It was a rainy, dreary night, as the man of mystery sat at his computer, searching for something ...

In this episode of "Interwebs Sleuthing," Hockeywarrior, Private Eye, finds yet another case of Red Orchestra 2 being compared to other games.

/End random film noir references

In this case, it actually makes more sense. Just thought it was interesting to gauge public opinion of these games.

Reading those threads is just like watching this:

YouTube - are you smarter than a 5th grader - dumb blonde american

I always hate it when people say "another ww2 game."

 

[Merin Redplate]

Hey, at least people are talking about RO2.
So, therefore, spreading the word.

 

[I Faw Down]

I always hate it when people say "another ww2 game."

I always find it humorous, as the exact same FPS series that made people get tired of WWII are now all on the "Modern Warfare" bandwagon...

I'm an evil person so sometimes I get the urge to plant little seeds of dissent in RO2's favor whenever there's a "will x game beat y game in 2011" discussion.

Soon enough people will catch on that RO2 isn't messing around, and should be watched.

The last WWII FPS released was Wolfenstein in 2009, and I don't think that can really be considered WWII in a historical sense. And the last WWII FPS to feature the Eastern Front was World At War in 2008. Anyways, my head hurt reading that thread.

Lol my favorite comment is "RO is looking a bit bland for me" ... what does that even mean, anyway?

So we have a BF3 vs. RO2 thread in the Homefront forum then Brink is briefly mentioned but then forgotten and then some chat about xbox ports. Just another day on the interwebs. Oh btw, I love Apples, Oranges AND watermelons.

I think they obviously are commenting on RO's place in cooking.

Honestly, even hotsauce makes it still taste like silicon!

That's some progress. They are comparing RO2 with games with 10^20 $ commercial budged.

I hope we get in this year some nice reviews about all those three games where writer says: BF3 is finally back a PC game, CoD sells in millions of copies (on consoles obviously) again, but RO2 has won GOTY award with amazing gameplay and great features which bring PC FPS games to another level.

I don't even understand how anyone could state that "Red Orchestra 2 is just another WWII shooter, there's enough of those" then go on to talk about Battlefield / A CoD/BF Hybrid Clone being better. As if there's not already a saturated Modern Warfare market.

I don't mind MW/WWII, so long as its innovitive. And different. Which neither Homefront nor BF3 seem to be.

 

[Oldih]

WWII vs modern shooters is becoming the another AK vs AR debate, expect more truly random drama.

 

[The Masta]

MW clone? Do you know what HF is? Do you even know what MW is? They both have guns, and that's where your attention span dropped off.

Nice find. I always have the urge to enter the discussions when these things pop up.

Must.... restrain.... self....

Do it anyways, we must attempt to educate the ignorant masses.

 

[C_Gibby]

the apples vs oranges vs watermelons comment was probably the best. I'm sick of seeing people compare games that are different in almost every way possible.

 

[slavek]

You should go educate them CGibby. The power of furries and IS2 is on your side! :IS2:

What makes me funny in BF3 community that they hope BF3 will be same as good as BF2, but it wont. They wish for mod tools, commander etc... but we all know there is no place for such stuff in console game.

E.g. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/09/10-things-we-want-to-see-in-battlefield-3/

Here's PCGamer's wishlist and guess what, most of these points are already in RO2, but won't be in BF3 for sure...and here I hope to see nice reviews where community after reading will be aware of great RO2 features, so typical for pure PC game.

For the 100th time BF3s lead platform is the PC and it's a sequel to BF2 not to the BC-franchise so stop getting to retarded conclusions out of your blind fanboyism and get some facts together, or since there's not much known yet wait for facts to actually appear instead of making them up.
