I believe that the survey reflected a reality. People want a RO1 with better graphics and some other improvements.
The question of the matter is that after a few months of his departure, has established a level of regular players in RO2. All those players arcades (CoD, BF ...) tested the game a few days, shot 4 times and now have gone to Battlefield 3. They work like this.
Now, the regular players are all Red Orchestra 1 players, yes, those of the first game. Those who liked their style of play and away you Tripware to achieve a greater mass of players.
Now it's your turn Tripware, it's time to return the favor to these players, to return to their usual way, that way you created with RO1. It's time to implement a gaming experience more realistic. Reduce semi-rifles and smg, a recoil more real, more real sprint, an accurace system for, a large and extensive maps ... Make an RO1 with better graphics, wait for mods and expect to increase the players.
Do not try to follow the way of Call of Duty and Battlefield. A perfect example of this is in the MMORPG games, look the example of Star Wars Galaxies.
