Humble bundle - Red Orchestra 2 - $1 (BTA Killing Floor + all DLC ~$3)

https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Ridiculous deal if you ask me.  I BTA even though I own half the DLC and still probably got a great discount on the DLC I was missing.

That's ridiculous indeed. Thanks for the heads up, bought it.

Good post bud

If people don't own these and they skip this deal........

Just got it. I already owned RO2 but Killing Floor looks great too.

So does this mean people will actually play Red Orchestra 2 now?

I've been playing KF since it was still a mod, but I got the bundle for the Red Orchestra games.

Thats insane. Shame RO 2 has been crashing on me with the last few nvidia drivers.

Can I apply the KF DLC to a copy of KF I already own? Can anyone confirm? I'd pay $3 just for the KF DLC alone, as long as I can tie it to my current game.bonafidetk

Yup that's what I did

These bundles are slowly but surely emptying my bank account.

The android ones have been good recently too.

Well, I think nobody plays the first one anymore. Which is a shame because Ostfront is unique as a multiplayer game. It's hard to get that experience anywhere else.

That's why I'm not jumping on this "deal." Granted, I'm sure this sale will increase the playerbase, but I'm not sure its that good of a deal for a game where the community is pretty close to dead.

EDIT: I thought it was MP only. How is the SP campaign?

I bought it even though I have all of those games. The deal is just too good to pass up. KF is my most played game on Steam

You won't find a more desperate and intense experiance than in Red Orchestra Ostfront. Red Orchestra 2 had none of that feeling. I was really disappointed.

Got it wasn't really good at RO2 when I tried it during a free week, but it was still pretty fun. Killing floor will be a great coop game if I can get some friend's to buy it.

Haha, no doubt man, grew up watching him and being a pacers fan :P

i thought red orchestra 2 was pretty much dead at this point..... multiplayer games are worth nothing if nobody is playing them.Geminon

Well there's an influx of 30k new possible players in the span of half a day.  But I agree, I'd be pessimistic at best that this will save the game long term.

I'd rather have increased voice acting instead of any of those stretch goalslongchao

you ask for too much good sir

Oh great lol. Can it be played with bots?MonoSilver

Yeah but they're rock stupid lmao. I don't think you'll come across AI that are dumber than RO's short of scripted retardation. To be fair, it's an all right experience if you want to check out the controls and the novelty of the best portrayal of bolties in any WW2 game I've played.

For the most part that's true. I think the issue lies with the setting. Stalingrad is extremely limiting, and close quarters maps + overuse of automatics doesn't make for a great time. Some of the best parts of Ostfront was coordinating troop movements and the feeling of danger whenever you saw a single enemy, let alone enemy armour. 

As a testimony, I will say though, last summer (yeah that far back) I was playing a game of countdown, and that's the CS-type elimination game for you newcomers, and had some pretty crazy experiences that I haven't been able to recapture in an FPS again so far. Russians had to defend the grain elevator, the massive structure that's CQC the entire way up, and it came down to me and a single German hiding in a room. He had an MP40 and a pistol, while I was stuck with my Mosin Nagant and nothing else. I remember thinking it was a little like walking into your own execution. Now, when you draw back your bayonet and hit sprint, you let out a warcry as you charge... I figured I would never be able to get off a shot and he would just gun me down, so I had nothing to lose. When I burst into that room, I could literally see the whites of the German dude's eyes before I rammed the bayonet into his forehead. I was wondering why he didn't shoot, and when the round ended he said he only saw somebody barreling towards him screaming "FOR THE MOTHERLAND!" and he was pretty shaken up. I love that a game can do that to someone. It's almost a testament to the gritty and desperate nature of the Eastern front.

I had many tense moments like that in RO2, especially because you know that one bullet can kill you. I thorougly enjoyed my time with the game. The only issue I had was its terrible launch.

[QUOTE="MonoSilver"] I doubt I will, my laptop won't be able to handle it. I will be playing the first one though. :)MonoSilver

Yeah, but they walk at each other in a straight line and hipshoot.  They dont use all the classes or vehicles either

If the A.I. is stupid then it'll be like playing against myself! :D

It's more like you'll be playing against very slow, challenged children :P. 

But I really hope you find a populated server (maybe the European servers are still busy) because it's just so damn good. Reminds me of when I used to play Ostfront on this laptop here with my friend every night after classes and a full 50-man battle for hours on end is a beautiful thing.

These bundles are slowly but surely emptying my bank account.

I've had my eye on the Red Orchestra games for a while. Now the decision to get them became a whole lot easier. :)MonoSilver

^Ooh, are you talking about Darkest Hour and Mare Nostrum? I forgot about DH. To be honest, if RO1 is even alive at all, Darkest Hour might be your best bet. Granted it's been a while since I played, but that's where more of the NA players tended to hang out, and it was definitely a lot more populated than vanilla RO save for a few of the 50 man servers. Definitely check out DH, because there are some gameplay features in that mod that actually make it better than the original and there's a good chance you'll find people online there. Mare is completely dead aside from some really dedicated people who do private sessions, if I recall.

EDIT - DH installs and launches separately, and is pretty different than Ostfront.

Thanks. :)

Yeah those two mods are on Steam. Looks like I'll have to get chummy with the idiotic bots for a while then.
