tbh I loved to watch replays of best world duelist in UT2k4... my mouth stayed opened pretty often. You can hardly say it is always the same. It is same like F1 race... same track, same cars... but still you are watching performance that only few people can do... and at the end you will go play that game and try to do what you have just seen in replay.

Hell, I did (briefly) consult legal counsel when "certain parties" nicked a bunch of stuff from the first mod I was on ("The Russian Front", for MoH)... decided that it was cheaper and simpler to treat it as a form of flattery... lolI would be surprised if you don't see some of the RO features pop up in other shooters. Things like weapon resting, smooth free-aim, etc. Heck, COD's already been copying RO features for years
Did no1 ever play Cod UO it was basicaly ro 3.2 with a cross hair. They put in all the same weapons as RO stole deploying mgs and other things that i forget.
Hey, speak for yourself. I never switched because I never could play those arcade-y shooters.
There was only ONE FPS I'd ever stuck with before this, a Quake 2 mod called D-Day: Normandy (http://www.planetquake.com/ddc) ... It had a lot of features that you like now ... about six years ago. I can't remember the last time I fired it up.
I hope RO:O continues to do very well. It's got great support, a great community, and, hopefully, will be a great commercial success. The money might talk to the other developers more than the features.
Amen to that. Dday was the first ww2 themed shooter with all the classes, weapons, iron sights, stamina meter,... everything on a quake2 engine! I've wasted several years of my life playing and creating that game. Btw, its free and available as a stand alone game.
Agreed with that Milk. Problem is RO has such a bad Demo review mode, that, before it would be changed, it will never happens. RO TV is needed to promote this fantastic game.
Watching demos right now in RO is a little boring ( you can't even see your weapon...)
Well, and the movement was more arcade.
Yeah, the very first game with climbing in it was Hidden & Dangerous right?I was actually about to say it was the only original feature they ever had, but then I remembered HD2 had it before them
Seconded, I'd love that in RO.FreeMan said:
UO always felt like an upgraded version of Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory, which I absolutely loved!
I agree with you that more realistic games like Red Orchestra will start being released, but games like Counter-Strike, Unreal and the like won't change for the more realistic. After all, the fast paced action-movie-like gameplay is why those games are popular in the first place.
And really, I wouldn't want to see Counter-Strike change to be more realistic. I play Red Orchestra when I want to realistically shoot people and when I'm a little bored of it after four hours sometimes I switch over and play CS:S for a while.
I like unrealistic shooters, especially Unreal and i'm sure UT2k7 will rock. I remember RO used to copy the double "UP key" combo to "run" in the early days of the mod. It was not a bad idea. My hand suffers a lot with "shift" pressed at the same time.
I played it and find it very little at all like RO. CoD has very arcady movement, shooting, damage, health etc. There is certainly not a realistic "feel" to it. CoD2 was even worse!
