Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Next Week

I hope the game does well on Steam but I'm not touching any realistic game that has limping and no crosshairs.

So, does this game use the Unreal engine, or Source?

This is going to own...I get the feeling once I start playing this BF2 will go in the rubbish bin..then Quake Wars!

I've been waiting for news of a release date before I do the following.

Ostfront Shackbattle announced.

This is a truly awesome game. It feels like real war because there are no bunnyhoppers nor strafeshooters. If you want to hit something, you have to stand still and use the ironsight. It's no kiddie game because the gore level is pretty high. Limps get blown off by artillery and bullet wounds bleed like hell. The first time you see your own mangled body, you will feel sick.

When you start playing those tank levels, it feels like a different game. Suddenly all that frantic closecombat is gone and instead you get massive tank battles on huge maps and I really mean huge. Tanks can shoot at targets that are a mile away.

It's also a very hard game but rewarding. Your teammates don't have miracle marks over their head so you can't always distinguish a friend from a foe. Their uniforms are different of course but it's not that easy to spot the difference from faraway.

maybe he reads both sites and thought it would be worthwhile to repost his longish post rather than rewrite them?

I'm definitely interested in this, but downloading it with Dial-Up will be a pain in the ass. Looks like sort of a cross between Battlefield and Operation Flashpoint. Less arcade than Battlefield, but not quite as strict as OFP. Is there already, or will there be a demo available?

I want a demo before I buy it but I also want to get the 10% off. Damn it.
