AnonymousMCMar 26, 200610Great game. those who did not research this game before buying it are the ones giving this game a low rating. This game has great support from the devs, gameplay is fantastic and the graphics while not topnotch are realistic and quite good! There will be a demo out soon if you want to play before you buy($25US on steam)

AnonymousMCMar 29, 200610All of these 10's know what their talking about... RO is the best FPS I've played in my life. I was sold in the beta, but OST front adds a level of emmersion through detail that I never expected. Great work guys! (oh, and my street cred is CS beta 3-7,TacOps,Wolf3d, etc ^p^).

AnonymousMCMay 24, 20060People who believe this is realistic warfare obviously have not been in war. If you want that sort of game ditch the mouse and keyboard and get yourself conscripted. For those of you who like war with a mouse and keyboard, dont bother with this, an overengineered slow action lacking debacle

AnonymousMCJun 18, 20060Im still unable to play load times are really long I have to wait at least 15-20mins before i get to the server screen and another 20mins before it even deciedes to even show team select screen and about another 10mins before the map loads so don't waste you money.

CaseyPettyJun 24, 200610Most realistic game I have ever seen. This is the way FPS are ment to be. The physics and geometry is amoung the best Ive ever seen. Very nice work tripwire, Countinue to send us superb FPS's... ... BTW Jay the tank damage is really accurate, and loading time isnt the game but the quality of your computer, mine runs it quite quik and smooth. Maybe you just need a better comp...

StevenWilliamJun 25, 20065It's an ok game. AI is stupid though. Load times are horrible. tank damage makes no sense. Anti-Tank rifle can't kill a tank >.> and tanks and cars use your keyboard instead of your mouse like BF2. If you really like old style games like this, or like DOD, this would be a great game for you. Personaly though, I wish I got something else :,(

AnonymousMCJul 7, 200610I love this game! If you're really tired of Battlefield 2's "click Z fest", bunny hopping, spawn camping, instant proning and more then this game is for you! And to the guy who said the guys who gave this game a high rating haven't play bf2: we did, and we hate bunny hoppers and we got better things to do than invest time in pixeleted ribbons.

AnonymousMCJul 22, 20069It's ok if you like Battlefield. Many do :-) But you may forget it forever as I did if you try ROOST for some days. You may find its graphics disapointing, the community of players too small, and surprisingly difficult in the beggining, but, after some days, I bet you may be as addicted as I am now.

JoshuaGroveAug 2, 20060Need a T1 line to download this game. I bought the game in circuit city. CD doesn't have the game on it. You have to download 2GB to get it with "steam". I've been trying to download it for 6hours with no luck. Its stuck at 69% and keeps saying servers to busy.

AnonymousMCAug 8, 200610Best game ever. Its a WW2 simulation, SIMULATION! The graphics are awesome, some people never heard of settings (or a .cfg file) and the gameplay is the sweetest ever. Anyone who rates less than 9 wasn't born when Doom came out. Wait till you're old enough to appreciate a game before you rate it :-(

CharlieShentallSep 1, 20069This is a lifestyle not a game - it grows and grows, as does your skill, an hour in you are totally frustrated, a day in you start to smile, a week in you can't wait, after a month - you are fully immersed. Average Time to veteran - 6 weeks

RadoslawCzyzewskiSep 9, 20061W porownaniu z Day of Defeat (nawet starym) wypada blado. Gra jest pozbawiona akcji i realizmu (rozwalanie jednym strza?em czo?gu Tiger z 2km - jakim? ruskim szrotem... smiechu warte). Pozatym jak za t? cen? spodziewa?em si? czego? wi?cej jak tylko multiplayer... no i engine Unreala... pozostawia wiele do ?yczenia. Ta gra powinna kosztowa? najwy?ej 10$.

TomPurcellSep 24, 20062I gave it a 2 because after paying for it, I've played it twice. The second time just to see if I missed anything. Very dull game. A few nice aspects but poorly executed. If they would improve the character animation I'll give it a third try. Good concepts but when people look like robots when they run, it is a big turn off. Cheers.

KenPrussingOct 13, 20060Total garbage. We have been unable to download the game from Steam even after numerous calls to them. There answer is Call Steam it is not our problem. Promises of return call backs have not happened. This is the worst game my son has ever purchased.
-
-
gamerOct 23, 20061The lack of a good way to start playing leaves me in the dust. I had the game installed for over an hour and all that comes up on the screen is the Steam user account that i created over an hour ago. Will soon see after something gets downloading in which i have no idea what Steam is downloading.

danielpattenNov 5, 20061ive had the game for monthsand its still not updated enough to play, 24 hours to wait on download of update is retarded. i wish i could get my money back, never buy from this company again, looks cool. but so what if your unable to play in a reasonable amount of time, guess critics didnt have to download the piece of junk

ZiggyNov 29, 20066Ten gra nie jest warta takich pieniedzy($39.99cdn).Jest bardzo daleka graficznie , technicznie,i jest troszke zanudnawa.Coll of Duty jest gra ktora warto kupic.Latwa jezeli chodzi o klawiature (sterowanie).First person shooter doskonale zaadoptowane.on line tez bardzo dobre.Dlatego moj glos na Red Orchestra jest tylko 6. Ziggy from Poland .

MikeLessenerDec 18, 200610Personally, I love the game. The time it takes to deploy to any map in single or multiplayer takes to long though. I spend 20 minutes waiting for the map to come up and stop deploying in any game. If there is somehitng I can do to make this faster please tell me.

AnonymousMCJan 7, 20079Easily one of the finest WWII games I have ever played. Those who do not enjoy this should go back to playing MOH or COD with all the kiddies out there; this gameoffers a genuine combat experience that is both entertaining and involving. If you're looking for something light-hearted and easy though, then this isn't for you.
-
-
AnonymousMCFeb 4, 200710Great game. I'd just like to say how stupid so many of these low scores are. The fact that the maps take a long time to load doesn't mean the game is bad, it means you have a crappy system. I can get up and running in under 30 seconds, and the game runs perfectly, don't complain about something when it's caused by you.
-
-
jeanpoopMar 3, 200710for every gamer something right and good!i u want some action and tank combat get the game and play it but dont try to be the best the first couple of hours because u want but learn from the best die like the rest they say so Have FUN!
-
-
AnonymousMCApr 25, 200710only 3 complaints. first, the singleplayer is cool at very best. second, the map selction gets very small after a while, even with custom maps and, the map editor is impossible to understand. Otherwise, worlds better than any other WWII shooter out there. and best of all, you get to be russian!
-
-
AndrewHoffmanJul 20, 200710A very realistic game, and fun. Although the intensity and difficulty obviously changes a lot because its a multiplayer game, it is still a tactical and realistic fps. When i first bought it i was dissapointed about no single-player campaign, but playing with others who enjoyed the game and were good players outweighed playing a story-lined campaign with bots.

GamerTrustFeb 10, 20090worst game ever controls are terrible as compared to the popular games like counter strike source or Day of defeat source which is a much better wwii game. The game provides no crosshair or whatsoever and its wayy to slow paced, lack of sniper classes. 0/10 only thing that was good about it was its maps.
-
-
YaUJul 4, 20098Bought this long time ago and didn't like it much. Just tried out the new mod Darkest Hour and couldn't stop playing. This mod is way better with couple of really good maps. The atmosphere is more engaging and I see more team spirit. Look forward to the final version.
-
-
MarcLJul 8, 200910Best game ever...got the game since 3 years now and have not seen any better game till now...the aim system is the thing that makes the game great, no stupip aiming with a circle in middle of screen like in call of duty world at war, and no silly scripted show...its real action.
-
-
GabrielUJul 14, 200910Red Orchestra is the best online shooter... Nah, the best online soldier simulation world ever saw. I can nearly feel like at the real battlefield. There's no chance that productions like ArmA or Op. Flashpoint are better in this (scripts!). Full 10/10 and I'm still waiting for more modifications and addons!

BanjoPantsAug 1, 200910This is a difficult game. But that is what makes it great. It is my favorite game, second only to BF1942. It takes what should have been included in Forgotten Hope and wraps it all into one game with 2 mods. The thing that sold me on the game was the Eastern Front.
-
-
BasB.Mar 25, 200610Best fps war-sim ever ! The tank are just beautiful.
-
-
AdamM.Mar 25, 20064This game was a step backward. DOD:S and CS:S are the benchmark and this fell well short.
-

SunilH.Mar 25, 20062Worst game evvver ... felt I was mislead by the promo vidio - bots and graphics are horrid.

DavidF.Mar 25, 200610Outstanding game from East front WW2 era proving that small independent studios are able release top quality titles.

TJMar 25, 200610The absolutely best WWII multiplayer FPS ever made. period.
-
-
SigfridF.Mar 25, 20069The best ww2 game ever made. Very accurate realism makes every fire fights intense as players must use real world tactics to defeat the opposing team.

[Anonymous]Mar 25, 200610Most realistic ww2 game out there as of to date......no more random deaths by stray bullets and so forth, Realism to the max.
-
-
BonJovieMar 25, 20069I love this game. It's extremely realistic but still good at the same time. The only downside is there are several small bugs, very few of which majorly affect the gameplay and AI is kinda bad even on the highest difficulty. Also, the loading times are long.
-
-
JaboleqMar 25, 200610I always play Call Of Duty and Call Of Duty2 but when I bought RO I realize that I played wrong games!! No croshair, no sprays, no bullsh.t - this is real WAR!
-
-
WilliamD.Mar 25, 200610The ease of use with this game is very high. Finding servers and friends is easy and reliable. Downloading and installing is almost effortless. the game has a manual with relevant info and the menus are well laid out. Really the only challenging thing about the game is surviving. You have to be smart to survive. if your not you have two choices. learn to fight smart, or get used to respawning.

MortenT.Mar 26, 20069Most intense and realistic game i've played so far. I would have given it a 10 if it weren't for a few annoying bugs, but i guess they will be fixed later on.
-
-
RompusC.Mar 26, 20069This game is realistic with a good variety of maps. Good support from the developers and a great community surrounding it. I would give it a 10, but no game is ever perfect. :)
-
-
LukeB.Mar 26, 20069The most intense War game out there. It does have a few issues to be resolved but the game play makes up for this
-
-
LocherbreadMar 26, 20069A fantastic, realistic feeling WW2 fps, its more tactic based than any other game ww2 shooter i've came across - I personally think the graphics are excellent :-) Love tank battles, but also the infantry maps are superb as well ^ ^
-
-
AnonyM.Mar 26, 200610Don't know what the people moaning about graphics are on about - just crank them up and it looks just like the trailer. Get yerself a new gfx card if it can't do the job and stop running it in teent resolutions. Gameplay is real intense - just different with no x-hairs and no bunny-hopping.
-
-
RobertH.Mar 26, 20069The graphics are great, I turned all mine up to max and it still runs smooth (P4 3.0, 1 gig RAM, Nvidia 5700LE vcard). The maps are great eye candy. You have to get used to iron sights (no crosshairs, on any gun), and some realistic slow reloads and rifle cocking, but it is worth it.
-
-
ThomasB.Mar 26, 200610Wow...not for the faint of heart. But a great game. Gritty action and pure craftmanship in the development side. A real pleasure to play.
-
-
LexMar 26, 20069This game is fantastic. I feel it immerses you into WWII like no other WWII fps game.
-
-
SashaC.Mar 26, 200610Awesome game!
-
-
JasonW.Mar 27, 200610More than I ever could have hoped for in a WW2 game. the immersion is better than any game I have ever played. I can see myself (once a critic of RO) playing this game for a long time.
-
-
WallyG.Mar 27, 200610Best WWII shooter I have ever played, period. brings the term "realsim" to a whole new level. no run & gun kiddie arcade crap here. Just total immersion into a realistic WWII envoironment. The tank combat is thrilling as well.
-
-
RonanC.Mar 27, 20069Fantasic game i'd give it a ten only some of the cracks need to be filled in otherwise no complaints.
-
-
TrevorO.Mar 27, 20069Very good game, good concept, well excecuted. Some technical issues that will probably be fixed.
-
-
TomG.Mar 27, 200610Best multiplayer FPS ever, this comming from a guy who played CS for 4 years non stop.
-
-
JustinC.Mar 27, 200610The best blend of realism, authenticty and simple team based action I have found yet. If you like your WWII games, enjoy multiplayer team based gaming and want something a bit different offering some real chance for immersion and proper battlefield tactics then look no further.
-
-
NickB.Mar 27, 200610Simply the best! :D The realism setting, the addiction, the quality is su-perb.
-
-
EliasO.Mar 27, 200610This game is simply the best WW2 shooter that is out there.
-
-
JakeE.Mar 27, 20069I find Red Orchestra to be one of, if not the best WWII first person shooters. It emphasizes teamwork, and chooses a lesser known Russians vs Germans situation.
-
-
KenM.Mar 29, 200610Quiet simply the best game I have ever played Achtung Panzer! Los los los!
-
-
OkeedokeyMar 29, 20066I give it a solid 6 because personally I think RED ORCHESTRA developed out of DoD:S because it's wwII, and it came out AFTER DoD:S sooo ya. But I give it credit for trying and the graphics.
-
-
KaseyT.Mar 29, 20069Very good game. Any body who played the original will love this version more. It seems a twinge more arcade, then the ut2k3/4 mods. The tanking seems better, and the graphics are great.
-
-
BlakeH.Mar 29, 200610I love how this game has combined the best aspects from various games to create, what I would say, is the best WW2 FPS game so far. Great attention to detail, engaging gameplay, lots of gore, and different styles of gameplay, are all reasons why this is an overall great game.
-
-
FireBladeXMar 30, 200610Perfect game!

DavidB.Mar 31, 20064Most of the ratings here are by the staff in order to promote the game they will probley remove this comment. honestly this game is alot like any other ww2 fps the graphics are bad and could be greatly improved. the game play is better then expected but still lacks in areas. I dont think its worth the money.
-
-
AllanT.Mar 31, 200610Imersive WWII eastern front action, i .... my self the first time i played it scary as hell. This is WAR! (no niceitys of modern combat - no crosshairs ;) Grab a rifle, grab a tank, prime your grenades, I shall see you on the battlefield.
-
-
NovalG.Mar 31, 20063

-
M.G.Mar 31, 200610The best FPS i've ever played. The most realistic WWII FPS ever. Some of the best features are voice chat, controllable tanks, realistic physics, etc..
-
-
JohnM.Apr 3, 20069There are some bugs in the game but they are not disrupting the true feeling. This game brings more to the table than any other WW2 FPS on the market. RO is nothing at all lke call of duty you must work as a team to achieve goals and command certain outposts. The range of weapons and classes allowed changes on each map. One of the better FPS out there!

80I absolutely love the attention Tripwire has given to the small details in the game.
-
85There's very little gameyness in RO and a whole lot of gritty crawling along the ground so you can flank over to that machine gunner and allow your team to advance to the next spawn point objective.
-
79Red Orchestra is an enjoyable, team-based online shooter for those who like the Battlefield-style games but want a more technical and realistic experience.
