> ANOTHER WW2 SHOOTER.

When was the last decent WWII shooter though?

-tf2 hats

dosh confirmed

I just preordered this because I have lots of money to burn but I honestly have no idea what kind of game this is besides the fact that you shoot people in russia. Is the gameplay excruciatingly slow like in ARMA?

If you're going to take the time to dial in your sights for 1km away rather than adjusting your aim, you're going to miss your target and get shot.

>>105039921

We GET IT. Stop viraling already.

>>105040106
A little faster paced, but broadly, yes.

With extra supression effects too, so getting shot at will be harrowing even when they miss.

you forgot health degen, if you get shot fatally you can bleed out and die, bandages can sometimes save you but you have to use them sparingly

>>105040106

From what I've heard it seems like a mix between ARMA and Bad Company. Better interface than ARMA though

>>105039986
CoD2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkk3SiywLHI

video shows all of the game concepts I mentioned earlier.

>>105040112

Nah in one of the videos they said you just use the scroll wheel to dial in. Once you play for a while im guessing you get used to the ranges. It's still a nice thing to have. You dont have to use it you know.

>>105040112

not if you can do it with the mousewheel, aye? aye?

>>105040207
thats fucking baller

>>105040293
/v/ seems to be a big fan of WaW,sounds like it must have been at least decent.

>>105040308
>>105040350
Still take precious time, and that's if you're able to accurately judge the range.

You're still going to have to take bullet travel time into account on top of that.

I'd rather trust it to my intuition myself.

>>105040444

completely forgot to add that you don't need to use the mousewheel. You can still do it the old fashion way...it's just implemented to make things 'easier', as the tripwire guy said in the video.

ITS LIKE I CAN FEEL THE COLD

Anyone got the KF Godhand edit?

I think I've technically got it in here somewhere, but you know how it is.

>>105040575
It's a damn sight better use of a mousewheel than scrolling through weapons, I'll grant you that.

But like trying to switch the DPI on your mouse prior to sniping, it's more trouble than it's worth compared to learning to do it without.

From what I've seen this is RO on russian steroids.

fucking day 1 comrades.

Just preordere the deluxe edition from steam today. I don't give a fuck about those TF 2 hats or Killing floor skins (they are coll gotta admit), I just want to support tripwire and try out the beta before the release.
I'm looking forward to play with mein Axis bro's Picture very related:

viral

>>105040575

also, although i can use the old school method of sniping perfectly fine, i would use the mousewheel SIMPLY for immersion.

Thinking of picking this up for 360. How different will it be from Battlefield 3?

Im way too excited for this, cover system is good, everyone covers in real life, its adding things real people do, deal with it. adjusting sights is badass,. blind fire is badass, suppresion will mean something so thats badass, one shot kills, thats badass, this is like ARMA but with the casual Battlefield feel.

No one cares, go cry in a trade thread you cancerous maggot.

Welp

Lots


Wish they had aircraft. would complete this game

>>105042471

Panzerfausts are the only weapons in the game that i feel are unrealistic since the rockets dive like a eagle after 10 meters

>>105042487
and does that just determine the weapon you use or are their stat differences and extra skills?

Why?

That's what we call a bad idea. Not the above.

>>105042586

For what it is worth, it is probably ragdoll, gibbing and swastikas that will get cut.

>>105042810
Yes, explosions normally take of arms or legs.

>>105042720
Well hold off on the game for now at least digital version wise. The low violence version is a placeholder right now. Tripwire is trying to get the game rated 18+ or whatever your guys rating system you have.

>>105042856
Off, even.

>>105042664
> The scope should be the ironsight, like it was in RO1.

You realise that only snipers will get an optical scope, right?

>Retarded.

Indeed.

Australian here.

I preordered this morning, before I realised that there was a low violence caveat.

Tripwire have said that it's just a precaution because the game hasn't been rated yet. Australia having a cut release hasn't been confirmed - far from it. They're making sure that there's not an issue when dealing with our notoriously shitty classification board.

I would be surprised if it didn't pass without cuts, actually. Remember when AvP was going to be cut? Where you could rip off heads with your bare hands and tear out people's spines? That passed. L4D2 is the big case people refer to when talking about Australia's censorship - but that was a combination of violence and the riot cop.

Everyone's panicking a little too quickly. If the classification comes back and it's cut, just cancel your preorder and get it from overseas. Simple.

The cover system is first person only, none of that magically seeing over cover shit you get in other games. Blind fire is actually blind.
The ironsights on sniper rifles are there because there is really a gap on the scope mount on many WW2 era rifles that allows you to still use the ironsights.
The levelling is (apparently) far more subtle than in other games, you won't get any real advantage from it, you'll mainly just look different.
In addition, the admin controls allow unlocking and levelling to be removed from the server, and allow people to use unlockable weapons without unlocking them.

>>105042813
>Why?
First, the level up. Why should we have this? This is a useless gimmick that is just here to give you a fake sense of achievement, where your achievement should be to be the fucker that just killed 3 campers and cap'd the last point, resulting you to be in the topscore because capturing a single point is more rewarded than 10 random kills.

Then on the cover system, I'm afraid it will really just encourage camping, which is not really a fun way to play.

RO2 Project Reality Please

>>105042965
Also, there are no crosshairs. OP's just an idiot who didn't know it's called sight adjustment.

>>105042514

Game uses Steamworks so retail version is identical to Steam version, you register both with Steam.

>>105042664
There will be NO crosshairs EVER in RO2.

There is no crosshair EVEN in Relaxed Realism.

RO2 is still as hardcore as RO1 was if not more hardcore.

>>105042965
Well, that sounds a lot more acceptable to me, indeed.

I still dont like that tripwire gave in to please the faggots that turned FPS into a clonefest.

>>105043076
How will a cover system encourage camping?

>hide behind brick wall
>pop off a few shots
>rifleman puts a round through the wall where I'm camping

>>105043076
Doesn't matter if there is camping when bullets can impact a lot of material. If you know the general location of the enemy you can fire and hopefully hit them to bleed them out.

Pre-ordered the deluxe edition but I have no experience with RO at all. I love difficult realistic FPS games.This game seemed right up my alley, what was the first RO like?

>>105043076
That's totally fucking ridiculous.

Levelling up is done based on skill so that players with experience who actually know how to pilot vehicles and operate weapons and give tactical orders effectively are able to do so. Those who give the morale bonus are more likely to be followed and it's easy to follow them due to them looking more war-torn. There was great teamwork in RO and this will only add to it. As someone who was new after the game was in full swing I did find it difficult to know who actually knows waht they're doing and who is just fucking running to their deaths over and over.

>encourages camping
Did you even play Red Orchestra? An assault on the frontlines means a slow crawl through rifle and sniper fire, not sprinting around a corner alone to get killed by someone with absolute accuracy.

I just bought the deluxe edition or whatever it's called for 23 dollars on steam. Got all the day 1 unlocks and a discount cause I bought the first one too. Can't wait.

Want to get the digital deluxe version but I'm in Australia. Fucking low violence

Can you read? Tripwire has already said that the game hasn't yet been rated, and the low violence disclaimer is there as a precaution.

For fuck's sake. Read the thread before replying.

>>105043183
>I still dont like that tripwire gave in to please the faggots that turned FPS into a clonefest.
In what way? All they've done they've done to to improve the game. Yes, they want more sales and that will happen to help but making a game easier to play is not bad. The worst thing about RO was its ass backwards design.

Don't worry about the levelling system guys

a) It can be turned off server-side
b) there's a system in place that allows players who do well during a match to be temporarily promoted over their "higher level" teammates, so a new player who kicks ass, does objectives and plays better than a veteran player will be promoted to veteran for the duration of the match, presumably replacing the old veteran who was shit (class limits prevent there being more than X veterans/heroes per team).

>>105043310
While some controls were clunky. It was an awesome game. Slower paced than say BF or CS but faster than Arma. Its a game where you expect to die.

Why should he?

Hats, who fucking cares?
Skins for KF, you know if you need them already.
And who the fuck pays extra just for early access to a beta?

What are the preorder exclusives?

>>105044189
Thank you kindly.

>>105042664
they are not bad ideas, they work very well.

>i dont want fullscreen scope

well, you dont get it moron, if you want to use the scope as a cqb sight, go for it, but the people with brains will use the iron sight.

fucking idiot.

btw guys, lead dev wrote a letter to the community couple of weeks ago.

He said the amount of options in this game is huge. There is basically nothing you can't change or turn off in server settings.
Also everyone who played it, loved it and actually found it hard going back to RO without cover, destruction, advanced sights ect- always a good sign.

>>105044274
Early unlocks for a few guns, nothing special other than 10% off the price.

I love the trench maps in RO 1. Battle gets very brutal because using grenades and melee gets a completely new meaning.

in case you're still not sold on the game, consider the mods that will come out. TWI distributed the SDK to the game to several mod teams so they could have mods ready sometime for release.

here's the Vietnam mod trailer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYuu1MgOJMo&feature=related

>>105042947
Took the risk just then. This is what the company is saying on the matter. Either way Aus is getting R18 rating by the end of this year.
___________________

We've put "LV" up for Australia because we haven't got the rating back yet - and dear old Oz has just announced the new higher rating category. We are HOPING that they will take the same view as PEGI/BBFC and NOT go all silly on us. However, until we're sure, we putting LV up to be safe. The Okkers may want to wait a few days and see what the end result is - but we'd hate for you to buy it and THEN find your ratings board can't cope with dismemberment (like USK...).

You get unlockable weapons for RO2 if you preorder the game, not just TF2 hats. Also if you bought the first game you get a bayonet which you will probably never use.

>>105044772

It's Iron Europe you wanker and check the RO2 Modding Section in the TWI Forums, all mods are constantly being discussed and new stuff is allways being revelaed.
