[QUOTE=69105;31005995]why do we even need scoped rifles in ro
seriously
most firefights don't even require a scope because it's all mostly really close-knit urban areas and the larger tank maps don't even have marksman classes mostly/don't need them because, you know, it's a tank map[/QUOTE]
Because of taking shit like the big maps into consideration and the fact that moders can do anything they damn well please with the versatile Unreal engine 3.

i'm just saying it's more magical with iron sights only because you think first about getting closer and/or keeping heads low rather than just blowing heads off from the other side of the map. gets kinda lame when you think about it. i don't care if there were real marksmen -- if it damages gameplay, as all sniper-like classes do, it's not a good thing
[editline]9th July 2011[/editline]
as long as it's limited to one or two players like good old RO is it'd be okay i guess. still totally inappropriate on the cqb inf maps

Yeah but it's not like Call of duty where its a fucking masterwork gun from the forges of hell.
Everyone has rifles and it's just a rifle with a scope.

i know what you're saying but i still don't like it
even in old ro it was absolutely useless. people would fight and wait in line to snatch the sniper class up an be even more useless in combat because they want more personalized skills instead of running around with an lmg and being, you know, useful

Useless ? wow... snipers are really really efficient at taking out enemy MG's and hiding enemies in general, it's the complete opposite of useless.
[editline]9th July 2011[/editline]
I mean.. seriously ? are we even playing the same game ? Have you touched that class yet ?

Do you really rant on everything you get your hands on? Just because you can?
Those videos were great. Can't wait to play it. August is so far away right now.

Looks good, but the command menu doesn't fit with the rest in my opinion.

yes
I love the new videos, I can't wait to play singleplayer coop then play online, we just need proper HD video and some tank vs tank or tank vs infantry footage and we are set. Also did that multiplayer footage have bots in it because sadly it looked like it, but the explosion effects from a grenade look god damn amazing, also the command rose was cool. Can't fucken wait.
Also new preview article from IGN [url]http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1181413p1.html?RSSwhen2011-07-08_154300&RSSid=1181413&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ignfeeds%2Fpc+(IGN+PC[/url] it is a surprisingly ok article coming from IGN.
I hear that GT music isnt actually the game music, thank god.
I hope RO2 has music that can compete with the awesomeness of Ghost Recons anthem music. Never seen a 60 second segment that can convey such a grey, bleak and realistic atmosphere (referring to the first 60 seconds) That's why I loved ROOST's music, something about it conveyed that same feeling as the GR anthem, but more classic Eastern sounding.

These themes have a similar "feel" to me. I haven't been too taken with RO2's music so far, but only time will tell when Im actually playing the game.
Does anyone know if players will still be able to lean manually, or is it all just handled from the cover system now?

Well there is tank vs infantry technically from that one trailer that starts out with the guys running.

Have you ever even played RO? For more than 30 minutes? It's a serious question. Do you really think, for instance, that snipers have no place on Odessa? How about Berzinia? Tractor factory? Vidzeme? Smolensk stalemate? Just naming a few off the top of my head.

Tbh I don't know what RO servers you're playing on. Shit like that never seems to happen. Whoever gets the sniper gets it, and nobody minds much. That doesn't change the fact that it can be ridiculously useful. For instance, in Leningrad, the German team would be much, much worse off without a sniper, even if the sniper's bad.

I think its all handled from the cover system, I could be wrong.
Id imagine you could probably lean without cover. What if you're standing away from a wall, and want to peek around a distant structure?
[QUOTE=69105;31011716]yes[/QUOTE]
Well, nobody takes your posts seriously anyway. :v:
I like how the SMG's dont just magically go to the ceiling unless its held down for like ten seconds.
Ahh just played a round RO. Sweet.
[QUOTE=zombojoe;31016677]I think its all handled from the cover system, I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]
Nah, I'm pretty sure you can lean without cover

I swear to god that first one is mesmerizing. Especially watching the bullets slam through the German's chest.
EDIT: Uh... there were two. I swear. I'm not insane. What happened to it?
EDIT2: Derp nevermind it's back again
Has there been any footage/comments on what happens when you drive over someone in a tank?
Every game has them just ragdoll and die, but I want there to be a pile of gore or something at the least. And because there is focus on combined arms here, it would be nice to have something like that.

The original RO has gore when a tank runs them over, so I doubt they wouldn't do it for RO2.
i seem to recall being instantly gibbed if you jumped out of a clown car at speed

Speaking of clown cars, is there any confirmation of their existence?

at :57 you can see the shadow of the enemy upstairs on the ceiling when he's on the bottom floor. That sometimes is a common shadow glitch, but it's unacceptable in this kind of game. Hopefully they fix that.
New article from Alan, talking about how no more new features and about some retarded previews from journalists:
[quote]Well, it is always nice to see people active on the forums Here's a quick thought for you all, by the way: when you see articles on other sites, send them the traffic, comment (sensibly) on the game - make them feeled loved for writing about the game. Then they'll write more!
Anyway, been a very full week. The sprint to San Fran for 1C's event out there - I think all the journos enjoyed it. It was a little fraught trying to show off the game in the Russian Consulate, with no access to the internet (seemed to be confusing the heck out of the build we had with us - we've not actually tried to run with zero access to the net for a little while), plus hardware problems apparently caused by a combination of the shippers dropping the shipment and slightly dodgy power supply.
So, yes, the team is getting (even more) tired. So here's a thought for people: we already hit feature lock. We aren't going to be dropping any new features in at this stage of the game. From here, any changes will come AFTER release! There are still a lot of little details to finish off - some of them visible (UI), others not. It is all coming together, more journalists are "seeing the light", which is nice... and some are still arse-wipes. But that is life!
I was chatting with one in SF (I think it was Jeb Haught) about reviews. The key point being that we are ok with people not liking the game, if they actually try playing it. That happens, even to the best games. But it is the ones who write idiot stuff, after sort-of, vaguely glancing at it that annoys developers. Jeb is one of those guys who makes an effort, which is appreciated. I think it was him making a point (my mind was a little vodka-hazed the next morning) that he never actually gets to keep playing his favorite games - after about a week, if he is going to do high-quality, in-depth reviews, he has to move on to the next game - and the next. I can imagine the frustration. Especially when you have to do an in-depth review of a game that truly sucks big hairy ones...
So, you've seen some single player now. Hopefully there may be a few more write-ups, but we weren't keeping track of who played what on Thursday evening - just too much going on!
And the Steam Summer Sale of course - always complete mayhem!
Wife and daughter packing for a trip home. I can't go - apparently I have some deadlines over the next couple of weeks. Ratings submissions, manuals, quickstart, proof-reading all UI, localisation, basic business stuff, marketing plan, some publishing stuff, walk the dog. Poor me[/quote]
And a new really good preview article [url]http://digitalhippos.com/gaming/event-coverage/another-night-in-moscow-hands-on-with-red-orchestra-2-heroes-of-stalingrad[/url]
Also I don't know why people are complaining about the Germans not speaking German, the post from the guy from Tripwire explained it perfectly where it is more realistic to understand what your own team is hearing since you are supposed to be a German or Russian right, not an American who doesn't understand anything. Also looking more carefully at the German Multiplayer video where the guy shoots that Russian in the back hundreds of times, if you look closely it looks like he misses those, so if that is the case I don't see why people are complaining about hit reg being stupid.
