Calling all RO vets!!!
You attendance ingame is desperately needed.
Last night I had the mis-fortune of joining (a rather large and popular) server playing Stalingrad Kessel. The game was about 1/2 way through. I joined as a Soviet and noticed that the only objective capped was the Warehouse.
Unchallenged I went around to the southern most door of the Assembly Hall. It was not yet blown. I asked for a Combat Engineer. No one responded, so I looked for other ways to enter. Not a single door was blown! I had to enter from the front.
No one was is in the cap, so I ask for help in the capzone. Everyone was instructed (by more than just one person) to just sit tight, not to worry about cap zones and to just kill Germans. We would win the map by wiping out their re-eforcments. I informed my teammates that we were playing Red Orchestra and NOT Call of Duty. I implored that the game was about capturing/defending objectives and it was not about playing Team Death Match. I was promptly told to "STFU" and that the Soviets would win by killing all the Axis.
Long story short.... Not that I didn't think it was possible, but when I realized I was speaking to deaf ears, I left the server. I refuse to defile RO by playing in that manner. An acquaintance that was on the map with me stayed. He informed me that the Axis did indeed lose from attrition and that the Soviets never captured anything but the Warehouse.
Both sides were apparently content to play Team Death Match.
Lets hope that this isn't RO in its last throws before breathing its last.........I hope not.
