I'm wondering if people that got a dusty copy of ut2k4 somewhere or are willing to buy it for say 5 dollar, are interested in playing some redorchestra mod.

It will be an older version than mod 3.0.

So some things that were different back then some good some bad, this is mainly a night for nostalgia for some, and for others being able to see what things got shafted in ostfront and what things got added.


- you need a percentage of people in the capzone to cap it.
- spawnzombies (sometimes you miss spawn and a spawnzombie appears instead.
- No tanks, No arty, No smoke, No leaning, (its an old version so you miss some things)
- extreme blast radius with grenades
- lots of great maps that didn't make it to ostfront
- see the original versions of alot of the ostfront maps
- less linearity because you need more people to initiate a cap more capzones are open at thesame time giving more tactical freedom.
- no sway yet on weaponry
- hipping always fires in the dead center
- no indicator on the map what zone is being capped, no indication how many enemies are in the cap zone.
- less recoil on smgs

Some of these things are clearly better in ostfront but some things especially, not knowing howmany people are in the capzone and forcing multiple people in to cap, and the ability to hit something without resting, and low recoil on smgs, and nonlinear maps, change the way the game plays.

I still play the mod from time to time ... Some guys usually get together during the weekends - it's still great fun every time:D I play version 3.3 though. Why go back to pre 3.0? Imo 3.3 is VERY good... and you can always drop the tank maps if u dislike them.

why not 3.3 because we can play 3.3 already every Saturday night at that fun server.

Beside some things in 3.0+ took away some of the fun things like the cap system, and with that taking the fun away of some old maps making them work less well because all caps were open.

3.3 will be fun as well with say kharkov and ponyri. While say maikop and berlin worked best with the old system.

Nah, 3.3 had cosmetic sway on the weapons. Nuff said!

before RO:O was out I was one of those lucky beta players and when beta period ended I had to return back to RO:CA ... I must say it was realy bad feeling to loose what RO:O brought ... so I am not sure... Jucha and Rostov are the only reasons why go back for some action...
