don't be fooled by the Red Orchestra 1 fanboys this game is actually as terrible as all the negative reviews say that it is, and nowhere near worth 50 bucks. This game is half finished, built with intentional imbalances, clunky and awkward, slow, unforgiving, and downright cheap. If your ideal multiplayer experience is getting spawn killed, being shot by a person who you can not and never will be able to see, being killed randomly by bullets through smokescreen, watching the Russians lose WW2 over and over again, hitting someone in melee and then dying, missing at point blank range, sitting on an enemy cap while your team crawls around in cover trying to camp, playing fallen fighters 3 times in a row without anyone moving outside of the buildings, tank combat that takes forever to start but is finished before you know it, level design that favors one team leaving the other to march to its death, and a weapons progress system that takes forever to achieve anything (you have to kill some hundreds and hundreds of people to get enough xp to put a bayonet on the starting rifle): then by all means play this piece of garbage. Tripwire has yet to release a patch that addresses the fact that this game is so damaged it practically needs to be redone. in the forums people maintain that tripwire will fix it soon, i hope so but its been awhile now and things are just as bad as before. please, wait until this gets fixed to buy it.
