Title: Anyone play red Orchestra?
Post by: cosmicdance on Aug 03, 2006, 20:54:37
I have just started playing Red Orchestra and well impressed with it!
It has the realism of Operation Flashpoint - no ID tags, no crosshairs, huge battlefields etc.

I would say it has elements of Battlefield2, Call of Duty and Operation Flashpoint all mixed in to make a refreshing sim that has a strong realism factor.
Due to this there is quite a learning curve with the tanks (need 2 or 3 players to operate best, working co-operatively) and also weapons.
Bare with it though, at first it seems quite daunting with lots to learn as it's not your average run and shoot Quake frag em up!

I also like it as you don't get the spawn raping that you get so much in Battlefield 2.

Also it's on free trial, until Monday 7th July, you just download it at -

Anyone else been playing this great game then, I'm hooked?

:D

Well make the most of the time thats left of the free trial, its a game that requires a fair bit more involvement from the player than other games before you get the rewards.
