The official Red Orchestra 2 thread

You guys should try playing on a server with voice chat. You can more easily teamup and work with people

Try the reddit server, it is where i play all the time http://www.reddit.com/r/redorchestr...r_is_up_name_is_141rd_reddit_official_server/

There is a muble server for the reddit server http://www.reddit.com/r/redorchestra/comments/k24v1/mumble_server/

Are they not just using the main mumble server for it, the one used by /r/badcompany2?

Anyway, people seem to be getting into the groove in the game now, myself included, so it's only getting better. Had an amazing server last night and nobody wanted to leave it was so fun. Finally ended up topping the scoreboards on attackers and defenders on Apartments compared to every other game where I have sucked.
 
I am in the beta. Cancelled my preorder. I tried the original and did not like it for the same reason I don't like this one. Something about the U3 engine movement that bugs me. Plus, I can't tell where I am being shot at from or hear where people are. I hope the game does well but for me it feels clunky still.

Anyone heard any word on when the new patch with the new maps is coming? It was supposed to be last night, then it was this morning and yet still nothing.

They said last night they were testing the final version but found a bug. It will probably be out sometime later today.
 
It was actually done last night. They are just waiting on valve to push out the patch. With this being labor day weekend it might not happen til tuesday.

I hope that is not the case. I want a full day of playing tomorrow before school starts on Tuesday :(
 
What's with occasionally getting bumped from your role unannounced? (no votes or anything). Sometimes I'll be playing assault on apartments, then after I died I don't respawn. My role selection still shows assault, but if I try to click "continue" to confirm the assault selection I can't, saying all spots are taken. Anyone else having this?


Also, the autoswitch would be a lot less aggravating if the team selection screen didn't allow players to overload teams a bit. People can pick (or switch to) a team that already has 2 or 3 more people, eventually forcing others to autoswitch.

There's a random message that appears on your screen every so often that says you're being given the choice to stay as your class or accept a spot on a higher-tiered class. This is to stop bad players sitting as one good class the whole round through.
 
Patch is out now, new maps are in.

Just one problem, no servers running it yet it seems (at least for me), all still on the old maps.
 
Played it for a few hours last night.

I never played the first one so at first the multiple cover buttons were kind of fumbled. I was terribad in the tank at first (as was everyone else I saw driving one!) I didn't like being a tank commander, as you feel like a giant sitting target until someone hits you with artillery/anti tank rifle etc. etc. :D

The people tend to look the same on the big snow map! Especially at a distance. In the end I just told by which side of the cover they were cowering behind. Would be nice to have some longer distances to snipe over on later maps (even on the fallen fighters map sniping people on the other side it was around 200m, but the distance dials on the guns go to 600m! Though at that rank people would be 2 pixels high...:D) The various roles do have lots of variety to them. Though lots of them aren't as "beginner friendly" as others.

One thing, while playing, H seems to make the player do the breathing control (they hold their breath). But then in the control menu theres no button assigned to H, And I would like to map it to the side button on the mouse...According to the control menu the "breathing control" is left shift or something? Also the "use" command comes up in messages, but doesn't appear explicitly stated what it is. But just pressing buttons I found it to be ctrl or alt. Definately need to work out a good control scheme for myself, with more features mapped to the mouse and less keyboard fumbling!

There are a few bugs still to be worked out. Like on fallen fighters (The snow map) as the russians, if you go down the right hand side, near to the german base, theres a bit in the rubble where you walk into it and cant get out :D I had to just grenade myself.

But this is shaping up to be a nice game! Will be interesting to play the new maps!
 
I watched a lot of youtube videos about this game and there is something very peculiar. I'm going to stick my neck out and ask the obvious question. Can you jump in this game? You know, hopping constantly if you desire.

Yes you can jump and mount/climb over walls and through most windows.

As someone pointed out, yet. But it is a realistic jump. No bunny hopping, or jumping over tall objects or even other people like in bfbc2.

Yes, but you'd probably draw attention to yourself and get shot fairly quickly! :D It doesn't make you run faster either, or really make you harder to hit.
 
I suppose bunnyhopping would be limited by your stamina :)

I waited for that patch for hours last night, after it finally popped up I had ma server updated in no time (though called Red Orchestra Server because I let it use the default ini files, and then I couldn't change the name without kicking 40+ people off :D)

Btw, the DDE should still be $34 / 20.36 pounds @ GMG/RO2DDE , with the regular one at $27.16 / 16.92 pounds @ GMG/RO2 , assuming the 20% off code 20SUM-MERSA-VINGS still works (which it should). Besides that I only know of READY-UPDEA-ISLAN and EATIN-BRAIN-ZZZZZ for Dead Island to still work. D.I. btw has most evil (and in the EU: plain illegal) region locks going on.

Shame I need to work and can't play right now :(

Seriously, that many screenshots?

I am showing off the new maps and awesome graphics. Trying to build interest in the game.

The new maps rock btw, I just played for like 3 hours straight and had an absolute blast.

Well, I haven't played the new maps and was excited to see how they looked but ended up bored and annoyed having to scroll for like a minute.

I imagine other people are going to feel the same way. A few screenshots is great, maybe even a dozen, but what is there like a hundred screenshots there? They all just ended up blurring together for me.

You should have just linked to your post in the high resolution screenshot thread. Too many screenshots, is it really that hard to pic a few that you think are the best? I avoid that thread, due to people being unable to their message across in a concise manner.
 
Compromise and just put them behind

PHP: 
[spoiler=screenshots]Put photos here[/spoiler]
Tags. Would make the page smaller and still allow people to see them :D

I can't seem to join any servers with the new maps. The server browser just shows empty servers with the previous maps. :(

There is a bug with the new patch and the server browser.

Try playing on the reddit server

RO2 Server

To join open the console(~) and type:

open 67.222.138.100:7787

If you are looking for it on the server browser it is titled, "[141.rd] Reddit Official Server".

New maps are so much fun.

These maps seem so well designed. A TON of good hiding spots, plenty of pathways to go, some good open area's people have to cross, etc.

Grain Elevator is a blast, definitely a LOT more fun imo then Fallenheroes.
 
Anyone else having trouble with the server browser? I get like 5 servers max now. I'm forced to just pick the server I recently played on which is only running barracks 24/7 and I'm about to go nuts.

I've played a ton the past couple days and my overall feeling is positive but it can get really campy sometimes especially that granary level where the germans are fodder for 30 minutes as the russians have about 200 different camping spots from elevated positions to choose from. That might be the most one-sided map I've seen in a game yet.

I really like the gritty feel of the game as it makes the kills really satisfying. The death animations are very enjoyable compared to games like bf/cs/mw where you feel like you're shooting at paper targets. The nade gibs are delicious!

Did you opt into the steam beta client? That solved all of my issues with the server browser.
 
honestly from the screenshots, the graphics just don't look that good

it's going to be fun as fuck though, when the steam one is ready :(
 
I think the graphics area really good. The videos ans screenshots don't do it justice.

I was in the same camp as you since I never played the original RO and all I had to go off were youtube videos of RO2. The graphics actually fit the game very well and runs smooth. No screen tearing at all and I don't notice any drops in fps when it gets hectic. Usually when I play a game as much as I have these past two days my eyes become bloodshot but not from RO2 lol. IMO, the engine is very well optimized compared to most games that come out. The only other FPS games where my eyes don't feel strained from long playing sessions are based off the Source engine.
 
After the update my server browser brings up nothing now, wtf!?
 
so glad this still has the classic RO feel to it, I just really doubt Tripwire are going to be able to release on the 13th.. There are several game-breaking bugs that need fixing.
 
Same here, no servers. Tried every fix that was posted (steam beta client, server master files manually copied) to no avail.

Too bad.....
