With respect, you won't win.

First up because RO2 is a niche game, despite the decent amount you guys at Tripwire sold, you're still up against the masses. I predict BF3 to win as it's the PC awards, and as far as I can tell, MW3 isn't that popular on PC on the mulitplayer front.

Second is because the launch of RO2 was a bug ridden shambles. Negative first impressions go a long way.

Even if the game turned out as the best game ever it probably couldn't win against BF3 and COD, but some people might notice the game if they never heard of it when listed which is nice :). Often a lot of people in these forums went on a mass exodus to vote for TWI games on these sort of things which would give some additional exposure, I wonder if that will still happen. Personally I'll pass from voting this time around.

Too early, RO2 is still trying to shake off it's bad start. The problems that ruined RO2s launch are only being fully fixed very recently - RO2 hasn't fully recovered its reputation back yet (the player numbers refelct this)

No way of winning. Likely the game will come last in the multiplayer section, what what the hype of BF3 and MW3 being too large for RO2 to compete with, the universally praised Portal 2, and the fad-powered Terraria craze, RO2 cant win that category.

Shame really because the phrase 'GOTY' does echo in my mind sometimes when playing RO2.

Frankly, don't expect to win those, against such massive opposition. Just rather gratifying to be in there...

Though I have to say I'm surprised that RO2 even got nominated, given the state it was in at release.

I wouldn't expect RO2 too win on the grounds that a very large % of gamers out there have no idea what it is. BF3 and COD will win with sheer popularity, regardless of what those games actually play like. I was telling friends about RO2 before it released and more then half of them only responded with "What's red orchestra?"

Good thing here is a mention in the list, which will help expose more people too the game.

OOO bf3 is the perfect game uh? and the lot of bug that it have? if you know bf3 is called BUGFIELD 3 with the flying tank , the atomic torch, the indestructible motroway signs, the immortal from roadkill when you use the mortars, the fact that the blades of the helicopter haven' t the physc, the jet speed of 1 meter for hour, i have to continue? RO2HOS have better physc, graphics(just see the dinamic lights). Ro is the best so shut the **** up, if you prefer BUGFIELD3 go on BUG.Don' t insult the tripwire devs.

The winner is you.

The winner is you.

BF3 is going to be the obvious winner, but being nominated will surely gain some new and extra attention for RO2. Just be glad it was nominated at all - it means something. It means that despite a dreadful release, few setbacks and disappointments, it still deserves a chance at something greater than great. It means this isn't dead or dying, and it means this should be a MOTIVATION to keep adding to the game, and forming it into something that is truly wonderful. Because we, the players and lovers of RO and RO2 will probably vote for this game. Because we see it fit for that chance.

Big sales do not mean a lot. It certainly doesn't mean a success, it doesn't win hearts over - it's just money. So please. Be motivated.

Heh... Pretty sure BF3 will win. But RO:2 might stand a chance, you can say all you want about the buggy release but the other nominees were just as bad.

BF:3 had the best release by far, considering the team they had it's not a surprise, but some of the beta left some pretty bad impresions.

MW3: really? Do we HAVE to even think about the things wrong with MW3?

Rage: Extremely buggy and glitched, even to this day.

Crysis 2: *refer to MW3*

TBH RO:HoS should actually win because, despite it's shortcoming was the only game to give PC a propper development and not just treat it as a port to consoles.
