Listen to these idiots!
http://bashandslash.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=28763#p28763 Lies like these make me sad and upset at gamers.
I've been here almost since day one and I mean many years ago with the MOD, then to retail. I can honestly say he hit the nail on the head, so I don't really see your point.
I've played maybe 30 total hours and that's possibly an exaggeration. I'm still playing RO1 daily only because I really have no desire to play RO2.
We even have a RO2 server that is constantly up and usually constantly empty except those wanting to kill bots and obviously increase their stats or get more unlocks.
Now with the numbers so low TWI should look and read that type of post and move the game in the right direction now and in the direction they should have stuck with all along. I used to constantly bring people aboard the RO community because there was no game like it, well I dreamed or hoped RO2 was going to be more of the same, but with new additions, and of course better graphics, stats, newer and bigger maps, and to be honest like he stated, I hate tank maps, but I really feel sorry for all those die hard tanks folks who thought this was going to be the tank sim to beat all tank sims.
Combined arms is great, the maps that RO1 had available from the MOD community gave them many routes to take and perfect.
Do I see a future for RO2 - sure - I'm sure they'll figure it out. Will I be here for the ride - sure - I will be. Am I upset with RO2 - yes - I couldn't agree more with that individuals post.
Currently though I don't look forward to coming home to play RO2 as I used to do for RO1 and believe it or not, here it is a couple months in and I still look forward to coming home and playing RO1 instead.
I never had issues with the bugs or the game working as designed, pretty much everyone else's complaints, game worked fine out of the box for me.
I have an issue with hit detection (I know there is a delay when you hit someone) that's not the problem (I can hear my hits and know when I've hit or not) the problem is putting a bullet in someones chest or any part of their body and nothing happens, they don't even have to bandage because they were never hit. There is nothing better than playing RO1 and seeing a single pixel and actually being able to aim and hit that pixel, you can now hit a full leg, arm or even side of a persons body and there is NOTHING. I also have a problem with the ping issues seen.
RO1 on my system runs at a steady 99FPS and never waivers from that number up or down and the pings are never over 100, usually maintain 30-70 max. RO2 I'm at a steady 35FPS and usually doesn't waiver from that number but pings have been sitting around 150-300 depending on the servers fullness and player numbers.
The only thing I can say is the sooner they get the SDK released will this game start heading into the direction all of us die hard RO1 players have wanted it to go. We'll see more maps, vehicles, and other tweaks possibly fixing load outs, and even hit detection. If TWI listens more to their original community, then the numbers will climb again and then at some point I'm hoping I can bring more people aboard with word of mouth and will I enjoy looking forward to a game of RO2... I'd be more than happy to bury RO1 once and for all. Until then I'll still be playing RO1.
I've already posted my take on BF3 and my sources have told me how "TERRIBLE!!!" COD MW3 is, so at this point RO2 is the only game for me with a future. Come on TWI and come on MOD community - lets get to work and turn this community back around.
