Red Orchestra 2 Beta is Now Available on Steam

Ok, the continual loop when trying to get into a game is still happening. What is the trick around it? I try and enter a game and I either get the 'game requires DLC you don't have' message or it does load but its a continual load where I never am able to enter the game and have to end it through task manager.
 
I have yet to find a server with communicative teammates. Even the goon server is just slightly better than your average pub. :/

Hopefully once the game comes out there'll be some nice, full clan servers going.
 
I'm done with this game until it comes out. Crashes, campers in every fucking game, dying to warning zones, awfully huge maps not scaled to the total playercount.

I'm also not a fan of the new maps this round. Station is passable but Pavlov is terrible.

Damn, I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger and pre ordering. Does anyone want to convince me otherwise?

it's rushed to be released before BF3 and they'll be fixing it the first month (or two).

I'm trolling (sort of)

Right. If it's going to take some time to work out the kinks I may just skip it and wait for BF3..

I plan on buying it after I get my dose of BF3 (read: sick and tired of the game).
 
They are probably working on this thing right up to release, so I wouldn't be have too high hopes in the preload areas. Based on their patches, they tend to patch a LOT of the files, so no point in even pushing out certain files. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Oh and I'm super excited for Tuesday - Can't wait to get on Co-op with my mate and finally having stats and weapon progression saving. I'm a sucker for that stuff.
 
I'm really sad that this game has punkbuster. Was dominating a match and bam - I get kicked out and it says "Punkbuster could not update - kicked" or something to that effect. That's the third time I've been kicked by punkbuster when I've tried to play AFTER downloading and installing RO2 Punkbuster from the PB website.

co-op is coming after release
 
Constant Punkbuster kicks. Tried manually updating it, no dice. I've owned about 8 games with Punkbuster in them and it's the same problem every single time. Sooner or later it turns on me.

The maps are actually relatively small and fun to play with even just 10 people.

My only problem with the maps, particularly the new ones, is that a) Station is very very hard to defend unless you have a good, communicative team, and b) Pavlov's is suuuper laggy.

+1 for Pavlov's, once the artillery chimes in it becomes almost unplayable for me.

I do like the maps though and I too don't think they are too big, it just is a different kind of game when played with less people but still totally playable due to attacking/holding territory - dunno about freefight but that's of no interest to me.

Gfx wise I dig the new maps but I wish I could change the gfx settings :(.
 
how long is the beta up for, I'm thinking of buying the game. Do I have to buy the deluxe edition?

Has there been any info on the singleplayer at all?

Only some afair: There will be campaigns for both Russians and Germans, you won't assume the role of one soldier but will switch once your avatar dies (dunno if they said something about switching roles but I assume you can).

But there is stuff leveldesignwise I honestly do not get. Let's take Pavlov for example. In most cases the square is the main point of contest. Except that the german side of the square, with the 2 or 3 tall buildings, offers a far superior vantage point then the russians on the side of the square with buildings that are barely standing. The combination of dark building with no shadow and dark grey German uniforms isn't helping either.

Adding to the fact that when the Germans control the square, and they can because they have loads of trenches where they can hide and cap in, the buildings right behind them are protected. So you can't enter the building. And when you can, and you do, and they recapture the square, you die instantly. So they have a better vantage point AND the buildings themselves can't be entered. It's ridiculous.

So you attack and you die a lot. Russians lose reinforcement points a lot faster then the Germans do just because they don't move and you do. What I do now is ignore all the objective. Go around the square and camp near the park and the shot down tram. Try to pick off a few random Germans. I contribute jack shit to my team and end up with 0 in the team score, but at least I'm not being shot by barely visible, camping Germans all holed up in their protected apartment buildings.

I think he is in my Steam list but he isn't online at the moment. I'll set it up anyway , but I won't post anything yet.

EDIT nvm there he is.

Demo didn't answer on Steam, he seems to be quite afk. The OT is done though. So ... what shall we do?
 
Haven't been this excited about a game release in a long time, eeep!

Hopefully the great performance ( for me ) is also in retail, I'd cry if I got hit with the mysterious shitty-performance bug.
 
OT is going up in just a few. I was waiting on a piece, that's why. If you feel it's missing anything let me know. Where were you guys when I asked for help!?!!? :P
