RO Screenshots

Looks really good, can't wait to play it. $23 btw via Steam.

VERY CLEAN,hope the gameplay is as awesome as u/o- is there anti cheat?

I was told yes

I heard there is anti-cheat as well. Plus, you're linked to a Steam account while you're playing... so it's easy for hackers to be banned.

im in!

it kind of looks like cod in a way.

Damn, that game looks great, can't wait for it to come out. Only 4 days to wait aswell.

heres some beta screenshots http://www.after-hourz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8918

Gotta love the gore!

i preordered mine yesterday and downloaded it, so im ready to go on the 14th

too bad i can hardly run UO so there is none of this in my future......

it looks like it will run on low end pc's. the min. video card is 64meg and i think the min cpu is like 1.4

It's specs are similar to UO. If you can run UO on med-high settings, you're fine on RO. It's not as demanding as CoD2 at all.

im having problems though ,anyone else? i run all games fine on my system with no problems even cod2 but when the map loads for r/o it jams up ! pez have you had any problems?

i like the gore and the blood including the panzers they look great but the game looks similer to the cod games

This game is dissimilar to CoD because:
1.) This game is Eastern Front ONLY (Germany v. Russia).
2.) Weapons are NOT fixed forwards, and there is no crosshair when weapons are hipped. (Read, you have to aim down the sight.)
3.) Bullets DO NOT travel in straight lines forever, in fact, they arc a lot over distance (bullet drop)
4.) Tank rounds are not just HE like in UO, but instead are more realistically modelled in that you have to account for both angle of impact and armor slope/thickness when a round hits. (eg. If a T-60 20mm round hits a Tiger in the front from 500m, the Tiger is going to laugh and blast the T-60, but if the same T-60 attacks the same Tiger in the treads, it could immobilize the Tiger.)

All in all, RO is supposed to be a REALISM mod, which CoD is NOT.

Here are some screenshots I took the last time I played SP Red Orch:




Scratch 1 Tiger


Tiger goes BOOM


Anti-Tank Rifle in Action


Lying in wait for some Germans


Scratch 2 Germans


Looks like real stones & ground to me


The MP version had many bugs (steam) so I couldn't seem to get or stay

connected for long. This may have been fixed by patches by now since I

haven't been on for about 3 months now....

First that T-60 would have to get close to the Tiger, but my friend told me it still lacks abit of the real thing when it comes to ammo and armour. He also told me he was on a server one day and ppl where saying that the t-34 always own the tiger tank. I said are they fking nuts, if the russians where owning the german tanks that bad then why where the german tanks knocking out russian tanks 5-1 in the war? I told him he should of ask them if they heard of Wittmen or Barkmann, and what they can do with there tanks. I dont think most of these ppl know the true power of the 88 when used by a tiger tank, king tiger tank or a jadgpanther tank, they get there information from playing these type of games i think lol.

But yeah the game looks good.


P.S. I played other WW2 games that are far more realism then this.

Agreed. this game lost somethin goin from the UT2k4 mod version to the retail version.

As for all those ppl in RO who think that the T34 is better than the Tiger...

1.) The maps in RO are TINY compared to the optimal engagement ranges of the Tiger (1km+ for the Tiger)... Heck, the Unreal engine doesn't RENDER ANYTHING past 1k in that game, which negates the intended usage of the Tiger.

2.) Due to the penetration models that they use in-game and tactics used commonly also, the T-34 has a larger immunity angle than the Tiger does, despite the fact that the Tiger had (a.) better armor, both in quality and thickness (the only thing they messed up was sloping it); (b.) a bigger main gun with better range and more penetrative capability than can be accurately portrayed in RO.

When I played RO online, I loved schooling those Ruskies how a Tiger could easily dominate when used PROPERLY. I'd usually just drive it to a nice spot, usually flanking their main push, angle it correctly to make it neigh invincible, then start putting 8.8cm AP rounds into the most opportune Ruskie tank that came along into my sights...

FYI, Stryker9, that second pic where you claimed to have killed a second Tiger.... that's a Pz. IV F2, not a Tiger.
