Shouldnt need to go into the game much, as its been coming for a fairly long time and a few of us have talked about it a bit.

We have a release date !!!

Also, I had been meaning to post this since i read it a few days ago, but here it is anyway :

For those not already aware, we are also very excited to announce the selection of PunkBuster™ Anti-Cheat software and PBBans streaming ban support for the game, in addition to using Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC). “With the selection of PunkBuster and PBBans in addition to VAC we’re taking a three pronged approach to cheat protection for Red Orchestra 2,” said John Gibson, Tripwire Interactive President. “We hope this sends a strong message to gamers that we take cheating very seriously and are tackling it head on BEFORE the game ships.”

As long as there isnt horrid hand-shaking issues i cant wait to see this in action. 2 pronged attack on wanker hackers is win imo.

every fukin video on the net has an ad before it these days!:mad2:

The player modeling looks shit. Some of the rendering looks ok but over all it looks like a game build in 2008 and only just released.

I paid for Breach and that was absolute crap…I got a feeling this will be very much the same.

doubt that

This wont be top tier graphics … was never touted to be. Its a small dev group that were originally a free mod group doing it… this time with some $$ backing.

What the game offers is great realism gameplay and server control etc.

I love playing games with visual candy abound, but am missing the great gameplay that came with the older games : cod/dod/aa/bf2(even though i played little)

I for one, don’t mind the graphics. Im going to be buying this. I just hope that there is enough people playing the multiplayer in AUS.
