Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm 2 Megathread v6 - Napalm Inbound! - Games

Awesome, this is legit going to make me come back to the game. When does it come out?

according to the reddit post, it's anywhere between 9 and 11am

If you want a RS2 equivalent, I think you should look into Insurgency. Squad is a much different game. You can play an entire 1-hour match of it and end with like 6 kills and still feel like you did great because it's very very little about combat, and a whole lot about manoeuvring, team-work, suppression and staying alive and with your squadmates. If you get separated from your squad, you're useless. Solo-players are entirely worthless, and there's absolutely no going rambo'ing around.

It's also worth mentioning that having a shit squad on Squad (no pun intended) is way worse than having a shitty one on rs2. Like it completely hinders the experience.

Yeah the game is like a game-of-luck. Get a shit squad it's all shit, get a good squad and it's the most fun, epic and tactical game you can get. imo

If all else fails, make your own and run logi for others, pretend it's Afghanistan Truck Simulator.

Getting a shit squad is enough for me to alt-f4 and not touch the game for a few weeks, but i've found myself playing continuously for 3+ hrs with a decent squad. The games way slower pace than RS2, and the gunplay not quite as satisfying but at the same time the maps are much larger so there's more emphasis on long range engagements and FOB placements.

Update's live, folks! The achievements have also been revealed https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58138/0ba1cd25-c293-4332-b69c-5e63dfa2354d/immagine.png

Here I was talking about waiting for one great mod to come back to life, only to find it happening to another! This came out of nowhere for me, I wasn't aware that there was going to be official support for the mod. I forgot how much fun Army Men is, it's certainly not just a reskin. Being able to ignore fall damage, and have helicopter wars really makes for some unique gameplay.

Glad i was perm'd from that shite mega server

Thank you.

Hits to the limbs heal over time.

I am pretty sure that's not the case... let me double check

ok I cannot find anything referring to health regeneration anywhere. I'm at a loss as to what you mean

I guess I'm mistaken then, I was sure limbs regenerated.

Sometimes wounds won't kill you nor cause bleeding, and I'm not sure what decides if that happens but is that what you're thinking of? Like you can get shot in the leg, move slowly for a little while but then your moving speed normalizes.

moving speed penalty is a separate mechanic. Bleeding iirc is dictated by hitbox type, kills & death in general are handled by your HP left

What causes the movement speed? Thanks for the info, I've never payed much attention to it anyway since you may aswell just operate under the assumption that getting shot = dying for all intents and purposes really.

off the top of my head if a fall causes equal or more than 55 damage (ROPawn.uc) to your legs you'll be slowed down. Then iirc being shot applies a flat slowdown timer, but I don't remember the specifics of that

This new gamemode has ruined me, I'll be unable to go back to the forests when this is all over

The green army mode's timer could do with 5 minutes less on the clock, but all in all this mode rocks!

Cue the infuriating habit of being hit dead-on in the face from miles away with a mollie, being treated to the agonized screams of your character, like in Insurgency :v

late as fuc but our mapper did just that when we put it back on the workshop

Aw yeah here come the class customization.
