I am really concerned about the future of this awesome game...
I don`t know why, but now less then two weeks since its release i feel like the majority of those who bought it left... It`s quite sad, because the game is everything a true PC gamer has wanted from a shooter in the past 5 years, but the big companys were busy feeding us console port crap. Now this game comes out and i can`t stop playing it. Yeah i didn`t play the first one so i have no reference to how good this game was (though i played Red Orchestra back then when it was a mod for UT04). So maybe i am enjoying this game more open minded than the die hard RO fanatic.

Nevertheless i hope the game will build up a strong and big community which will last for more than 1 year like most of the games nowadays, but 3-4 years. Coming from the CoD2 scene i know how important modding is and i am sure TWI will do everything for the modding community. But they should also keep in mind the competitive gaming scene as well. Esports kept Call of Duty 2 alive for the past 6 (!) years. TWI should support that as well.

A Fenno-Russian winter/continuation war mod would be interesting.

Russians have the upper hand in manpower/armor, while the finnish side has to make do with well-prepared defensive positions and improvised anti tank measures.

Well to be honest, i saw tons of footage of BF3 beta and it seems like a generic console port to me.
Sry guys, but I want the console supporting companys to burn and rott in hell...
TWI offered us a way out of these console dark age and i for myself am pretty thankfull for that.

At least BF3 doesn;t have any delusions of what it's trying to be.

You can always trust Battlefield to be a battlefield game.


RO2 has been pretending to be a game more akin to RO1, or at least configurable to RO1 for months, coming up to release.

Now it;s a bad mix of arcade. realism and hardcore features. It just sucks right now.

True but Im starting to wonder if thats what they delivered..At the moment though we do have mods to come and great mod support (I presume) from them, which is a big start.. Lets just hope they dont start with DLC themselves though, this communitys to small to be split up into groups with and without DLC

I think I have read several people stating that they are only taking a pause due to frustration about the current state of the game, but will return when the game is more patched. So a lot are likely to return sometime in the future. That and the mods and new maps will ensure this game its longevity, because, like RO1, it is basically only going to get better over time.

Alot of us are waiting for things to be fixed. This was a rushed released to cash in on bored COD/BF3 kids. I hope TW made alot of money to justify this botched release. It just sucks that every play session ends by a random CTD.
