This game will NOT use the HL2 engine. It will be using the UT2k4 engine with the floow-up release using the Unreal Engine 3.

A quote from the article these screenies were taken from says something like "A lot of games try to make you feel like your in a war movie, we are going to make you feel like you are in a war." THAT is what set RO apart from CoD, DoD:Yawn, CS:Suck et al. I don't know if people even in this clan are going to have the tenacity to crawl through a wheatfield in order to flank an MG position or get frustrated when using an ironsight doesn't give you a 3x zoom effect, not having a medical pack lying under every dead body, or actually getting hurt and STAYING hurt if you decide to jump out of a second story window with your full combat pack on into a street full of debris. But Daddy!? Why can't I drive the tank, fire and reload the main gun and run the hull MG all at the same time by myself!?!?

The most successful player and teams in RO are the ones who truly communicate and coordinate in an intense and CONSTANT fashion. These teams have a team leader who assigns players certain roles and changes them when needed to suit the situation. From assigning a couple peeps to operate a tank in support of an infantry assault or infiltration to calling in a mortar strike from his CP based on coordinates a subordinate at the FEBA gave him over the radio. Listening to a tank commander as he tells his driver forward, STOP STOP STOP, FIRE, BACK BACK BACK as the main gun reloads while a hull machine gunner keeps assaulting infantry at bay.

Not to sound nit picky, but whats up with the telescoping barrel on that Panther in the 1st screen shot? Looks like they stuck their 88mm gun graphics from a Tiger on a Panther. Plus its grey, never saw that color on a Panther before, not saying its not possible, but thats just plain ugly looking.

What are the system requirements? I can't find them on their site...
I doubt I will be able to run the damn thing though :(

I love RO so much, totally addicted. Very mature players too. I would honestly say this is not a fps ,but an eastern front ww2 tactical combat simulator. It should have its own post area here. Btw any clue on when they will upgrade to the unreal 3.0 engine.

Don;t know. But we will probably have to repurchase it as RO2 or some such thing. I am just glad to have an alternative to Counter-Suck and Day of Dreck.

They would have to DRASTICALLY change the game before I would buy it again....

The Armor would have to be seriously tweaked just to start....
