    Ive been playing the beta for a hour or two, its lots of fun :D
    Bit of getting used to, i havent tryed the tanks yet. I will when i theres 4-5 of us so we can get a squad going.

    There are some bugs, the game has crashed twice on me already. Also i got a bug where it would randomly fire and a map persistant icon on my screen.

    Apart from that it runs ok.

    I'm pretty poor at this so far. It's tone and flow of play are very different from other shooters. Clearing buildings has more importance, since buildings tend to have full interiors, basements, and multiple floors. Plus the wrong weapon in such circumstances is a serious disadvantage.

    Like the first RO and killing floor Tripwire have nailed the weapon mechanics.
    However the game needs some attention and tweaking before release in two weeks.
    I only played 20 mins so far but it plays well,its great to play a thoroughbred old school pc multiplayer shooter.
    It needs some work before release but its got massive potential.

    I think this game should have undergone more alpha testing, I personally dont think its ready for beta, way too many bugs.

    Only bugs ive come across are UI issues, game crashes along with some clipping.
    Apart from that it plays similar to the old RO which is awesome but with a better engine.
    Its a lot of fun, finished article will be awesome.

    At least with Tripwire you can be assured they will keep working to iron out the bugs well after the games release, unlike some other developers. They are in it for the long haul.

    Trust me - the game has come a long way since it entered Beta testing. I'm sure it will come on even more over the next few weeks. ;)

    Really got stuck into this lastnight and thoroughly enjoyed it.
    TW have assured the community they will sort the issues.
    Thye have already released a 700 mb patch for this final beta.
    The finished product should be excellent.
    Great to see a PC only fps designed specifically for pc, lol imgaine the console guys trying to play this with their pads :D
    This things requires insane precision, more than any other fps ive played and ive played them all :)

    I think one of the most annoying errors that doesn't cause a crash, is that one where you kill someone on the enemy team, die at almost the same time, get auto balanced, and get your kill counted as a team kill losing honour and netting yourself negative points!

    Biggest bug I get is when I join a team midgame, can't see any Spec mode for the team and can't join even after selecting or choosing weapon. need to wait for next map

    This just gets better the more i play, easily the best fps ive ever played in terms of how the weapons feel.
    Simply awesome representation of powerful weaponry and the horrors of war.
    Roll on release day.

    Nice preview here http://www.armchairgeneral.com/red-orchestra-2-heroes-of-stalingrad-pc-game-preview.htm

    Hmmm I am iffy about this one

    I loved Day of Defeat but the destructible terrain in BCBF2 has spoilt me.

    I've watched a few videos of RO2 and it almost looks a little cartoonish?

    I might give it a shot, how do I get access to the beta? do I have to buy the deluxe version on steam?

    Hey will this version of the Deluxe Edition get me into the beta or does it have to be the steam one ?

    http://www.direct2drive.co.uk/2/11256/product/Buy-Red-Orchestra-2:-Heroes-of-Stalingrad-D2D-Digital-Deluxe-Edition-Download

    coz this works out about 10 euro cheaper (if they dont do play.com like exchange rates).


    I wanna play it now but dont wanna fork out 40 euro if i dont even like it.

    Really enjoying this at the moment. Have had a few ctd, but nothing major. Very impressed with the feel and sound of the weapons. Looking forward to playing on a proper server with proper squads.

    Yes that should work, you can get it from greenmangaming.com also there is a discount too. I think you just get a steam key, like you do on greenmangaming.

    Add me on steam for a game : jacko1984
