    I don't really like the game(mod) itself, it's kinda slow and controls are sluggish and not very responsive(compared to COD)

    but rifles, their skins/details and sounds:

    WOW!!!

    in one word, WOW!

    I've never seen better rifles in any WW2 game before.

    and the way they reload is and ability to change scope views is just class!

    I wish COD had rifles like that :(

    anyways I've posted videos for you to check them out if you want to:

    Red Orchestra is a stunning mod.
    There is nothing wrong with the controls at all.
    I wouldnt call it slow id call it realistic.
    COD is an arcade game by comparison.
    RO is a realism mod 100%,it incorporates real weapons balistics with bullets loosing altitude over great distance in such a way that you need to aim slightly above a distant target to allow for the bullet loosing altitude,really impressive stuff.
    Being proud to say ive been a beta tester since the early days of RO being a UT2003 mod i know the amount of attention to detail the RO dev team put into this game.
    Graphics are superior to anything ive seen including HL2.
    Sounds are awesome as are the physics but more than anything its that gritty realism that makes it imo the best first person shooter out there.
    If your a run around spraying type of player you will dislike RO.
    Think enemy at the gates movie with its sniper battles and your almost there :)
    Here is our red orchestra home.

    Checkout these ingame footage movies.
    LOL them silly bots in cybers post,they always seem to slide along the ground.
    These vids show real online action.

    doesn't cod have the similar thing? you have to aim a little big ahead of the running enemy to hit him.

    lol dude, you are everywhere, GFM, RO,....

    Agreed, it's beautiful, the maps are designed very well, but sometimes it's annoying when you run for 2-3 minutes just to get shot in 1 second and have to start all over again.
    Sounds are awesome

    Oh yes! rifle sounds are just super!

    If your a run around spraying type of player you will dislike RO.

    nah I don't like spraying but I do like fast action.
    Think enemy at the gates movie with its sniper battles and your almost there :)
    hehe, maps are built for that kind of battle.


    couple of things I don't like though, yes realism is great but only 1 sniper per team? every server I join already has sniper's spot taken :(

    and a lack of servers :( do you know how to make "The All Seeing Eye" to work with it?

    overall this is an awesome game(I don't feel right calling it a mod), and it's free, I hope there will be more servers in the future.

    Thanks for the links!

    ASE works fine for me m8.
    In UT2004 in ASE look in mods filter and ro is there.
    No i dont think cod bullets drop over great distance,could be wrong though.
    One sniper can be adjusted serverside i think.
    but sometimes it's annoying when you run for 2-3 minutes just to get shot in 1 second and have to start all over again.

    True but the ro team make no exxcuse for this ,it is a realism mod and thus not for everyone.
    You gotta thread carefully as ww2 was id imagine.
    As i say its not for everyone,some hate its slow paced nature others simply love it.
    Overall id say COD is more fun as its more accessible for pick up and play scenarios but what ro does nothing does it better.
    Ill try again to sum it up,maybe think Sam Fischer in enemy at the gates lol :)

    Damn, I really want to play this.

    The local stores don't stock UT2k4 for some reason anymore.... :(

    Can the Mod be played offline with bots?

    Yes it can be played offline with bots.
    I bought both UT2003 and UT2004 purely to play RO.

    In any case, yes, I'm looking to buy for just RO as well.....will really end my days of playing Day of Defeat with bots I think...

    Played this mod for a couple of months, really good atmosphere to it and has a generally nice pace and feel to it all, however it does take a while to learn to maps, as their pretty damn big and some have a lot of routes through them. As far as weapon of choice goes, I must say I have a real soft spot for the K43, that weapon is simply awsome, at a range it cant do much against the mosin, but anything else and its happy days, and up close it can still compete with the likes of the ppsh. Good game, worth the download.

    MobileInfantry, you could try buying it on-line? Gameplay have it for £19.99 (sterling), unless of course you have no CC.
