Ro1 had a learning curve, ro2 its just point and shoot but apparently most mainstream gamers have to learn to point and shoot. Maybe I should make a mod called heroes of stalingrad and implement heroes the way we were told they would be implemented.
Hey Ramm-Jaeger what happened to hero status & MkB42H/AVT40 being rare weapons?

Still have a shimmer of hope burning inside of me that though the damage is done, they will still get this game close to what we wanted and were promised eventually (well, "hopefully" to be more forward).
Please TWI, as a player and supporter for the past 5-6 years... don't throw us away in the thrash buried beneath treasured memories of Red Orchestra's past.

rarely have i seen any company turn away from their current direction and half way though go back.
got on late in RO1 never really saw the glory days of it but loved it all the same, thought RO2 would be a continuation of RO1. i was wrong, and now i got this game that i can barely stand to play for more then 30 mins.
between bugs, and horrible server lag (basicly engine problems) i can barely have any fun at all. some things i think will change for the better, but i think the lag and poor performace/optimization is here to stay due to their engine as its not really meant for large maps and 64 players.
I believe it's going to be the Mods that will save this game. Its a shame to see where they came from and to see now the direction they have taken.
+ another 1. I not only told people about it and recommended it (RO), I actually bought additional copies for each of my kids, so that we could all go online and play it together. Even my kids enjoyed the realism, and much preferred it to COD until it just got to be so dated graphically and the servers so empty (natural with games so old) that they got bored with it. So, please, don't tell me I hate TWI, slag on them, etc. I slag on them for what they've done to this game, and what they've become in the past several months.
A small, niche develper cannot AFFORD to flip the bird to its base ... they are GOING to realize this after those "other" two games are released ...

Maybe the lack of answers is an answer by itself
Im not sure that a simple answer on this thread is going to be any use.. As one answer simply leads to a 1000 other questions as its dissected and examined..
However what is concerning is that there is no news on the patch and a total lack of communication about anything important.. Plenty of time to post links about reviews though
Thats true.
If you didnt have faith or sense of liking for the game, you wouldnt waste time typing stuff out on the forums.
I bought BRINK, it failed, i didnt give a s***. Never once did type up text wall of recommendations for that game.
RO is different i want it to succeed, and in fact spent a lot of type trying to make that happen; including advertising for this game....
LOL are you kidding?! have you looked at the forums. Its nothing but all the stuff we are saying over and over. I'd avoid the forums too if my entire community detested my work for the past some odd years.
John really doesnt need to be the one to read all these posts either. He has a team to read all this stuff. And for goodness sake... most of the time when he does come on here and comment it just stirs up for fuel for the fires.
Their PR department needs to keep him as far away from the forums as possible IMO........ Wait...did I just say PR *Runs to see what version of Project Reality has been released*
If you mention PR (a BF2 mod), it has some 500th people playing daily, a number that didnt change much after BF3 was released. Even more suprising is the fact that more people (still) play BC2, while the playar count in RO2 dropped from 4k to like 2.8k peak and thats just a month after release.
Like many dude's said pre-release, whom I didnt believe, the casual dudes will stick to the trully casual, fun and arcade games, while the realism and/or teamwork gents will be put off by the unrealistic/"COD" thingies.
Instead of being both fun and realistic, RO2 is neither for me.. beta was pretty good tho, guess why?
For the sake of feedback, the TWI crew must read the forums. Doesnt matter if people detest your work in my opinion.
The PR department is kindof lacking behind with reality.
I think TWI needs to send their PR department on some course on communication. They do need it.
EDIT:
And this forum is such a mess, i dont think any mods or admin have any plans at all of it. Its jst bunch of rubble, a more organized forum would help alot. Both for the public and for the staff of TWI, atleast for those who uses it.

Yep, No updates since the 26th(no huge one since the 23rd) Just tell us what time you are aiming for to make the next patch...I am waiting for it
Their PR department is clearly still back in the olden days, while the game and the fan base is not.
I would apply for a PR job at Tripwire. I am a journalist (economy) and also writer for a german games magazin (freelancer) .

'......but...but...the Germans are steam rolling the T-34s with their impenetrable Panzer IV's and they are completely over-running the Russian infantry with their endless supply of MKb42 assault rifles!'
