Well Regarding the "quality" of the video it is a bit strange when it comes to the lets call it acting. In germany we have a little say how they looked. It looked a bit like they had a stick up their *** (Stock im Arsch) :).
But dont forget that TW is a small company and they probably dont have much experience doing a video like this and they were probably pretty nervous. What matters in the end is the information in the video and not so much how it is presented.

Not sue if someone already mentioned this but I saw no mention of the free weekend on Steam. Not on their front page or on the Red Orchestra 2 page. A big headline would really help...

Well, keep in mind that no-one has any training for doing pieces to camera and we aren't actors - we used a home-made teleprompter so people didn't forget what they meant to say. Dave, who did the filming, asked people not to leap about too much or they'd get themselves out of shot. Perhaps we took that a little too much to heart :)

But you should all get the sentiments!

That was actually what I wanted to say. :)

Anyway I would have liked a more easy going commentary. If I think back to the very early videos like the interviews on gamescom I liked those videos more because they were in a more natural sitation. Also nice RS Poster in the background :p

I get that too, but in all honesty it is nice to see the dev team getting in front the camera, however nervously, and talking about all this stuff directly, if in a practiced, teleprompted way.

Jokingly, though, it vaguely reminded me of hostage videos where the captives are forced in front of a video camera and have to read an optimistic statement prepared by the captors, saying how civilly they are being treated, etc. while a man with a gun stands out of view of the camera.

All in all it's a pretty exciting video.

Yeah I guess the devs were not only looking in the camera, but also in they eyes of 10 RO Veterants formed up as firing squad with loaded ww2 rifles. :D

Just for clarification, I see lots of people tossing about the number of maps in the game, and for some reason giving a lower number than there really are. The game shipped with TEN maps (that's T E N 10) :) And now with Mamayev Kurgan that makes 11. Glad I could clear that up for you :)

And for those saying I look like I have no soul - I used to have a soul, but the continuous beatings I've received from the RO community have left me shellshocked :). Perhaps some good feedback on the release will bring it back again ;)

But seriously, a lot of us have been working so hard on this we're all just a little tired. As has been mentioned elsewhere I coded entire game modes in my "spare time" (you can read "spare time" as staying up til 2 am doing programming when the wife and kids are asleep).

People; It's really hard to restate words you've already said before with as much emotion as you initially did, especially on camera. Those who can do it well are just great liars AKA actors.

Get over it.
