An internet game masquerading as a stand-alone product.

Consider this review only if you are interested in a single person FPS game. Most reviewers seem to be playing online and it looks like a good game from that perspective, but not as a single person game. This review is not of the game per se, only of its misrepresentation as a single person as well as an online game.

I only wish I had read the reviews before I wasted my money on this. Judging from the box this looked like a typical FPS with single person and multiple person modes. It is not. It is an online Internet game with a single person practice mode. Installing it was a pain and loading it was an even bigger pain. It slowed down my system and caused all sorts of problems. I finally had to un-install it. Beware; do not buy this if you want a single person game. It may be very good as an online Internet game. If that is what you want buy it, but if you prefer single person games look elsewhere.

Mis-represented and bug-ridden

Caveat Emptor! the box, and indeed this website are misleading: this game is NOT designed for single player at all and there are no "campaigns" or storylines. What this game is is an ONLINE game (which are sad sad shadows of the skill involved in a quality single player game) that "offers" you the ability to "practice" by yourself - practicing is not the same as playing, as there is no effective single player mode. You won't find any mention of practicing until you open the box, whereupon all mention of single-player goes away to be replaced with "online game" and "off-line practice".

Apart from pretending it has a viable single-player mode when it doesn't, it's bug-ridden: freezes up, elements (like the sniper scope) don't work, drive a tank and you can't command it it move while you shoot, because you have to perform each function yourself (you're SUPPOSED to be able to tell the crew "go here" or "do that", but it doesn't work).

very disappointed. Waste of $30.

Think about it.

I enjoy first person shooters like DOD, CounterStrike, Battlefield. I got to tell you buying this game is a really bad idea. It so many bug in the game. People cheat: 1. you get a low weapon and they will get an semi auto with scope. When you get a sniper rifle (not many times) you'll get a bolt action with scope. 2. They hit your tank with one shot and your bullets bounce off their tank. 3. This game is so hack friendly. The characters move slow. I play it ever now and then if I want to drive a tank and shoot. I'm just giving you heads up more than anyone did for me. Really, buy a different game and save that money without the fustration of playing a half thought out game.
Note: I never really think a game is bad. This is my first review and I wrote this because the game is really bad.

No single player campaign..

I'm giving Red Orchestra a bad review as it is just plainly false advertising. I don't have high speed internet and bought the game in a local store thinking by looking at the case it had a actual single player mode... it doesn't. It did say a internet connection was required to activate the game, it does not say if you have 56K you will be downloading for 4+ days just to get a glimpse of the game.

I usually buy games for the single player mode as I don't have a choice of getting broadband where we live, I guess I'll be more careful when it comes to these kinds of products.

The game, once I got to it, was pretty cool but gets boring fast in the practice mode, there is no campaigns etc for a single player. I'd give the gameplay a nice score say 4 stars, if you got broadband this would definately be a good game to purchase. But they need to describe the game and the hoops you need to jump through to play it more thoroughly on the packaging...

yet another crappy game from steam (yay!)

this game was just a waste of money to me. i was hoping for a great ww2 game, and what do i get? first of all the system requirements are misleading. you need well above the minimum requirements to run this, and even then you might have some terribly long loading times. when i did get the game to run, what was i treated to? huge maps and a tank. oh boy, how wonderful! i remember this from a little game called call of duty: united offensive. the tanks were the worst part of that game, but the non-tank maps were incredible. lesson? driving around in tanks or jeeps is BORING. combat is FUN. simple enough? i didn't even see any combat in this game, just a bunch of people driving around! cod: uo already did this, and did it way better. never again will i buy a game from steam!!!

Impossible to Load

Might be a fun game for all I know, but since you have to download something from the company websight to get past encription, and since I don't have High-speed internet, it was impossible to load (even to just play solo, which is all I wanted to do), so I basically just threw away $30. It's like 1990 all over again - remember that fun tension after buying a new game and wondering if it would work, or if you would have to spend 3 hours fiddling with com and port settings? Welcome back to the nightmare...

This game is for massive online DSL junkies - for the rest of us, don't waste your money.

Positives reviews are coming from RO forum fanboys, they are doing this game no favours, unless you are confident editing config files you will struggle to run game,there are still many bugs, if you have Zonealarm firewall forget it. the installer wont let you install on any drive but C, if you like FPS games you wont have much fun, its more like a sim with a massive learning curve, unless your going to spend all day trying to get some teamwork going your wasting your time.You need at least 19" monitor as anything smaller you wont stand a chance of seeing the enemy, theres only one type of gameplay (capture objective) Theres way too much artillery that kills you just as you spawn. Again if you like tactical realism try it, if you want a bit of fun give it a miss.

Can someone refer to this message???

This game has a steep learning curve. Those expecting to pick up the game and start playing will be in for a rude awakening. The developers of this game placed a strong emphasis on realism. This game would be better classified as a sim than a FPS. If you like ultra realistic games, this one is for you. Beware, this game is distributed by STEAM. Once you buy this game, it's yours. At this time, STEAM does not allow the transfer of games.
