Game is NOT dead!!! You can play RS1 & RO2 every day!!! Buy and play the game!!!

[_DOOMMASTER_]

This a short information for all the sweet hearts which like to open every week a new comment section to inform other people that this game is dead.

This game is NOT dead!
If you are interested you can also play every day "Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45" from 2006.

In this moment 435 people play the multiplayer. You can watch in the community every time the player counter.

It seems that many have dropped out of elementary school and cannot read numbers.
That could explain why those interpret everything as the number "zero".

You can play every day RO2 and also RS1!

And you can watch about 1000 millions of videos of this game via youtube.
Also you can watch people life playing via the community.

This game is like an old Romanée-Conti. It doesn't get worse. It has gotten better up to the maxiumum and retains this quality because it is stored well and is well protected.
So this game will be also worth playing 3077 and also in 9077.

My friend, we all like this game. Saying it's is dead (which I have not) is recognizing how far the player count has fallen from its peak. <5,000, <1,000, and certainly less than 500 players is definitely a 'dead' game considering it once had 10,-15,000 concurrent (and usually more.) Nobody is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on RO2 by saying it's 'dead' -- it's a metric.

New players coming into RO2 are not going to have a good experience. Players coming back, sure. But you are not going to learn much as a new player of RO2 with the playerbase in its current state. It will absolutely not play like RO2 mp played during its first 5 years of service.

Personally, I would suggest anyone reading this make a choice as a consumer and *not* buy this game in 2021 if you don't own it. You will not have fun dealing with stacked teams, veteran players in powerful roles and legacy glitches around every single corner.
Support a developer making a game you want, not an aging piece of software long abandoned.

Aye, as sad as it is. This game IS 'dead' Comparing it to its early player base, And if it is not "Dead" It certainly is Dying. I love this game, especially the soundtrack, the atmosphere, and the gameplay. But comparing it too other games with all the bugs this one has it certainly has not aged well. That being said they did an extra ordinary job with this game. It has just gotten lack of attention, and as with all things, people have moved on too brighter pastures. The community of this game or what remains of it is rather nice (Besides Holyburst) But we can still hope for a Red Orchestra 3 if tripwire chooses to make more games rather than publishing them only. Not to mention 300+ People is not that much when you consider that this is wordwide and spread out in different Continents and servers that you cant even play on.

300+ is much and it doesn't mean that the game is dead!
I played this game since 2011 and every day to every time I find a game.

I also play the first Red Orchestra and there are about 50+ player and it is from 2006.

I also played Diablo 1 to the end, where Blizzard turned the server off.
There you had a player base of 5+ per day and it was damn fun to collect hears ;)

As long people play this game it is not dead.
It is stupid and salty to say that it is dead.

Also there is no alternativ game which is like this.
No modern game is to 5% like this game!

And there are always new players. In the rounds I played today there was about 11 people with levels from 5-22. So old veterans should have a higher level.

And I don't know on which calculator you play this game but I have no bugs or legs.
If you like modern games than play Bugfield 2042. Hard to count there where somthings works fine without legs and bugs.

Hello my friends. Stay awhile and listen.

You know that this is a realistic game?
The only weapon you need is a bolt action rifle.
Then you must only aim, shot and you have the kill. You have this in no other game.

In Bugfield you need like 3 MP mags to make one kill.

The fact that you think that you only get more kills with MG classes or as the commander shows that you don't realy played this game.

MG gunner always like to spray and it is easy to knock them out with a bolt action rifle.

I had games where people with the standard class (bolt action) had the most kills.

And also you get this game everywhere for about 5$.
So I don't know why one should fear to buy it.

The game is old and the multiplayer is still active.
That actually speaks for the game and is actually the best purchase recommendation a game can have!

Technology being what it is like those games before it RO2 will fall to better mechanics CGI style games, just as the current PC destroyed the classic war games on the C-64 platform. I still have a C-64 and play the old SSi games, but the community shrinks every year.

RO2 is falling to the newer gaming world, players move on like the core of the old RO2 players, to bigger and better thing. Wargamers are a strange breed. Some like myself find actual historic play, others a alternet history. The games are limited by file space. In RO2 for example then ATR long obsolete by game era, the towed AT gun should of been the primary infantry-antitank weapon as IRL. But the files would of broken the program more than likely so the super ATR came to being in RO2. Another classic is the out of era MG-42, a super gun designed to draw the spray and pray crowd. No way one man can carry the gun and a 250rd belt. I had a hard time with the M-60 and a 100rd belt hanging of it, and the early MG-42's did not have a disintigrating link belt, so a loaded with bullet belt one one side and a empty belrt hanging out the other. You tube is filled with MG-42 how to vids.

Play better Bugfield 5.
Should be more realistic for you.

Look, I'm I am not being salty. We are saying it is dead Comparing it to its early player base. At what point is a game really considered dead? When absolutely 0 people are playing and there is no server support? Well surely not because that would mean games would ultimately almost never die as long as one person was playing it at any given time. When we say it is "dead" please remember this doesnt mean people don't play it at all. After all, I got in a Awesome match Today with about 60 people in one server. But for a Strategy multiplayer game 500 people tops isnt a whole lot. I'd atleast argue at this point the game is Most definitely dying in playerbase. Also I have never played many of the Battlefield games so I wouldn't know about that. But there are Bugs and Exploits with Unreal 3 like clipping yourself through a hill and being able to shoot through it. Not to make it sound like other games don't have problems like this. in any case we can all at least agree for how long we play RO2/RS1, that it is an very fun and memorable game.

Think you don't get it.
You're the only one at a funeral that doesn't exist. You read too much Kafka.

I'm having as much fun as I played it the first time in 2011.
And I find full servers at all times without problems.
I can play RO2 and RS1 every day.

I also play the first Red Orchestra and there you have 50+ per day.
Also there I can play it every day and this game is from 2006!

You are the epitome of saltyness
I recommend you to bite a lemon.

Remember, Its just my opinion. I still have fun with RO2 (I've never played RO1) And think it is an Awesome game. Also I don't think i want to know what Kafka is. Well im done arguing as people tend to forget you can have a normal discussion even on the internet.

Reality and the attention span of the modern gamer. The game is old, played out to most of us, same ole, same ole, originality is gone. This map you do this, time frame is such, this has to be done by, here is where you sit to defend, here is where you go to defend, just got boring.
Add to the fact had a stroke, finite skills of hands minimal so hard to control mouse commands.

Don't have a problem with the maps. I like them and they don't get boring for me.
Also every game is different, cause you play against humans. You have allways different situation, where you have to find a solution. And the mouse control is fine.

I also use an old Mad Catz mouse, where you have extra keys for orders.
It is realy a fine instrument.

I'm glad you had a good time. I still greatly enjoy the Darkest Hour expansion for RO1 myself.
I would still suggest anyone who's unsure spend their money elsewhere. There are games out today that will deliver better and more balanced gameplay to all experience levels.

And to the folks like yourself who already know they want the game; buy it. It's awesome and nostalgic.

In RO1, RO2, RS2, managing 150 kills per game on some maps as commander is not that difficult. That's almost half the enemy team. Your point is invalid.

You're right, my 600 hours on steam and my 2 boxed copies of RO2 on my shelf (played before I even had Steam) indicate I have never played this game.
I remember your username from games. I remember Stonewall Jackson; we still play RS2 together and have our commander duels like in the days of RO2. I met Crystal Castles again in Squad and we've continued playing that.

We all moved on because RO2 is not the best compared to other offerings-- to games with healthier communities, modding and dev support.

Btw, the more you reply to your thread the more this is reading like a BF20142 buyer's remorse post.

Did you put anything in your tea?
Maybe a little too much salt?

I really don't understand your problem.

You don't play the game and say things that are wrong.
Me, on the other hand, have been playing the game since it was released.
Last time I played it was 1 hour ago.

[Supersoviet]

I assumed you were just misguided and holed up in a Sri Lankan internet cafe trying to justify gaming on a pentium 2, but you're just trolling.
