Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45

[Arkhanor]

So, I bought the game this weekend (the weekend deal I've been waiting for months - didn't bought before because I didn't had a International Credit Card [I live in Brazil] ). Anyone here still plays this game?
Btw, RO is awesome!

(Sorry about my english xD)

What's so great about it? (No idea what it is)

It's a realistic WW2 shooter with intense combat.

Man have not played that game in forever. Its a very fun game if your into the realistic side of things. Ya if you can pick it up on sale its very worth getting. Also you get the free mods they have with it.

Red Orchestra takes place on the German/Russian front.(German and Russian guns and tanks)

Darkest Hour(One of the free mods) takes place on the European front. (So now you get American/British guns and tanks)

Mare Nostrum(Another free mod) takes place on the African front. (So now you get Italian guns and tanks)

I play it every once in awhile and its worth cheeking out. One thing to note on it is that it is a realistic game so one to two shots will kill you.
You cant run in gun in the game like you can in most others.
For one there is no cross hairs, only iron sites.
Also most maps are very large in size and are played with 60+ teams (30v30 matches)

But all in all I freaking love this game and would enjoy more guys from eGO to play with

Mare Nostrum got updated with a BUTT load of stuff recently.

The update log is:

Mare Nostrum brings the British Commonwealth to Red Orchestra, focusing on the deserts and towns of North Africa and the surrounding Mediterranean. A trailer is available on the Steam web page, along with screen shots and more information. Now you can play as British, Polish, Australian and Italian troops, with a huge range of additional features:

? 26 all new Steam achievements.

? 14 new infantry weapons, such as the ever-distinctive Thompson submachine gun, Bren machine gun, Beretta 1934 pistol, and the SMLE rifle.

? Full Italian and Polish localisations.

? Over 20 new crewable vehicles including the Carro Armato M13/40 and Semovente 75/18 for the Italians, countered with multiple Valentine tank variants, plus the Stuart I, Matilda II and Vickers Mk VIB.

? 12 new maps, including:

* Crete - Fallschirmj?ger units dropping into the midst of Australian defenders in this classic battle.
* Ancona Approach - The Fallschirmj?ger are back in action, this time defending against the Polish advance in eastern Italy.
* Gazala Line - Desert tank warfare does not get bigger than this. Start your engines and prepare for total war.
* Road To Tunis - The war in North Africa is almost over, but the British must first push the Axis tanks from one last mountain valley to reach Tunis.
* Tobruk Central - The Australian defenders have been under siege for longer than they can remember, how much longer will they be able to hold out?
* Bardia - The Italian garrison is surrounded, but they will not give us this cliff top town and its valuable port without a struggle.

So whether it is the North African campaign, roaming the deserts in the armoured vehicle of your choice or the bitter fighting in Crete and mainland Italy, new and old players alike will get a chance to see why RO remains a classic. Now with the opportunity to re-play those battles RO-style, courtesy of Mare Nostrum! For more information on the mod (and to see the trailer) head to the Steam page.
