Expand the Red Orchestra Wikipedia stub

[Mormegil]

Just a suggestion. As Red Orchestra gets more press and more attention, it might be an idea to expand/improve the article/stub on Wikipedia for Red Orchestra.


I took the liberty to add some info on some features and vehicles.

The original stub noted the old bug about hipshooting/free aim always hitting the same spot. I was under the impression that the hit mark was just client side, and not necessarily "real." But since I'm not sure, I just left that the way it was.

No luck on a Wikipedia search.

If someone's got a direct link, that would be great.

Good catch Monsieur Minky

I managed to waste quite a bit of time in lab updating the Ostfront entry.

Please take a look and add/correct/update anything you like.

I deleted the note in the Wiki 3.3 page about the sway not working properly as it's completely unnecessary.
I'm not trying to gloss over the problems with the game, but a quick look at the mod forums will tell any interested users about them. We don't need any of it at the Wiki.
I bet it was added by idonwannaname

I added some background on Ostfront. It's all from memory, so someone in the know, could check it for accuracy and add details.

I joined on RO 3.0, so I don't really know anything prior to that.

Only thing I don't like about the page at the moment is the links. 2 extranious ones that have nothing to do with Red Orchestra, and the two Red Orchestra links should be labeled Official Red Orchestra: Ostfront '41-'45 and Red Orchestra: Combined Arms mod site.

I moved Russian Battlefield and PanzerWorld to "related links" and changed the name of the official site.


It's Wikipedia, if you want to change it, feel free to.

I tried and it told me something about being down.

 

[Mormegil]

There's been some activity and even discussion on the wiki entry. Specifically, neutrality on the article is in question.

At one point, some of it sounded like a sales pitch or advertisement. It seems much more sensible, neutral, and informational now.

I would like to see some of the screenshots go up there.

Could I get permission from Tripwire to put up a few of the screenshots (don't want to infringe on copyright)?

Thanks

Take any media we have up on the RO:Ost page

 

[Mormegil]

Thanks. I'll see if I can figure out how to upload images.
