but no worries,if you all think I'm giving bad name to RO2 community and the devs,you got my promise,wont be posting anymore anything about it,you have my word on it :)

Don't take it the wrong way. Nobody said you shouldn't help spread the word, but spamming other games forums about it is not the way to do it.

While Ramm has already explained in detail what "beating BO" means I can only say that even regular ROOST with released mods beats BO by far.

I just stopped subscribing to PC Gamer because its always 99% MMO,RTS,RPG with a dash of the odd console POS ports like BO. Ooops :eek: Now they post something I am interested in.:mad:

Yep I bought and read it. Without being a Dick I will tell you this. HOS is taking Realism Head on. Really goes in depth on Vehicles. Good well written piece. If you have any questions about it just PM me or go buy it yourselves it was only 9$. Also really goes to show the lengths that TWI is taking to appease the demands of the Gamer rather than being a Moneywhore.

P.S. And no I won't Scan and email you anything, nor will I write out entire sections for you. But I'm more than happy to talk about it.

I love the UK PC gamer, for some reason I'm not a fan of the US one (from the website anyway...), anyway I can't get either magazine where I live:( ...

I do have the magazine.

PC Gamer LOVED this game.. the whole preview the previewer was literally glowing the whole time, and loved the "realistic" feel of the game.

All in all, PC Gamer are actually hyping this game up.

That was pretty much through-out the entire article...them being super ecstatic about how great is. Also how much fun and detailed the vehicles are.

will have the pz3 J and T-70
Why the P III J and T-70? If they are implemented in a realistic manner it would be a very one sided pairing. Why not the Panzer 38(t) G and the T-70?

I'd rather have a realistic loadout than an even matchup. I'm sure there will be a fair contrast of benefits and weaknesses between the Pz3J and the T-70. The T-70 has 10mm more armor than the Pz3 on the front for example. The T-70 is a little faster. The Pz3 will probably have better optics, better shells, 50mm rear armor etc.

Hello gentleman, its my first post here.

The T70 is a fun toy tank, cheap to mass produce and only need 2 crew members. But lately in the war the red army was removing theyr turrets and making self propeled anti tank guns, SU-76 and artilery tractors or apc of them. The PZ III was a classic workhorse, when the gun stoped being useful, they also made self propeled guns based on the chassis of pzIII.

That said i think both models are fun to play in support of infantry, for major tank on tank battles i would prefer the classic PZ IV versus T34 classic :)

2) Reviews - This is totally doable. If you look at the metacritic scores for the original RO and PC Black Ops you'll see the original RO has a metacritic of 81 and BO has a metacritic of 83. So as long as we make a game that is better than the original RO (which is what we're trying to do) we could beat them in reviews.

Actually just noticed that for PC reviews, BO's meta is now only 77 so from the ciritics opinion RO:Ost is already ranked higher than BO :D

While this means nothing, it does show that poor PC multiplayer support is being criticised and noticed at the review level (after a quick skim over reviews, the multiplayer appears to be the main reason why the PC has a lower score than the consoles). So yeah assuming that ROHOS is everything it should be from a multiplayer point of view and as an improvment over RO:Ost, beating them at a review level should be as easy as an IS2 taking out a Kingtraktor.
