    Not too disappointed as I eagerly anticipate a bug free game ;)

    Its shaping up to be an awesome game (imho!), I have been in the Beta test group for the last few weeks and things are progressing very well.

    I was never a huge RO fan originally so I was a little sceptical initially. Safe to say I have fallen in love with RO2 though. As you can expect the realism is second to none - it takes a while to learn the ropes but once you do you will not be able to drop the game. :)

    I cant really say too much - in terms of realism I would say yes its similar to arma. In saying that arma had some gameplay issues that erked me and those issues are not present in RO2 (imho).

    This game certainly is not any sort of dumbed down WW2 shooter. Everything behaves realistically. The cover system is top class - really really adds to the game. The level of detail in-game (especially in tanks and the like) is what you can expect, astounding. Unfortunately I cannot go into any specifics but anyone who has been waiting on this game wont be disappointed I suspect. :)

    I found arma really hard to get into but I think I'll give this a go,the fact that its set it in the ww2 era is enough to sell it to me and the fact that its not a dumped down ww2 shooter is good too :-P.

    As I said Seph, I was never really a massive RO1 fan. I played it but never really fully got into it - and thus I never really had any sort of major attachment to the game.

    With RO2 it took me a few days to get used to everything (weapons and the recoil, map layouts, cover system etc.) but once I actually got used to it I fell in love with the gameplay. I am finding it hard to put the game down! :p

    Naturally it takes a few hours of gameplay to get to grips with it. I didn't even realize the potential of the cover system until recently and only today did I properly come to understand the mechanics of the tanks and the like. The game is gripping . . .

    Apparently it does, seemingly there is a full German and Russian campaign.

    psssh dunno why they even bother with the single player. You buy this game for the multiplayer.

    It offers multiplayer that few games can.

    Its not everyone's cup of tea, but I can't wait for this.

    The game is real gritty, flash backs to old school PC gaming.
    Am really impressed with the tanks, they are so many factors they taught of.

    Installing the beta now, I've no idea when it became available as I was distracted by league of legends.
