EmilM.May 11, 2006Awesome game. Waited for a game with tanks that actually work rigt for very long time. Has some issues and funny glitches otherwise plays good.

StarikIP.May 9, 2006First somehow shocking, the game made me feel something I have not experienced since I played 'Thief' and WWII Online. I was scared and run for my life like the boy from the 'Red badge of courage' did in the first battle. Well, I've managed to survive and turned back, but the Call of Duty and all BFs got wiped off from my HD permanently: R.I.P.

Aeneas2020May 8, 2006good game certainly gave me a great deal of enjoyment although i'd say to anyone put off at first really try to play this for at least a week then you'll see where the fun lies.

JackC.May 7, 2006It takes not only skill, but brains as well. An awesome combination that makes this game, the best land sim. of the year.

ShapeMay 7, 2006Most realstic game ive ever played. Graphics could be improved, but i think when set on high are much better than Cod2.

Golf33May 7, 2006Not for everyone but if you are after intense, highly realistic ground combat then this is for you.
-

PaulL.May 7, 2006Awsome graphics if played at full and awsome gameplay definently a game worth having.
-
-
LucasMay 6, 2006Great gameplay, best first person animations/models I've ever seen, excellent maps. The graphics are surprisingly well done for such an old engine. It features such subtle things that when you switch games, you realize that every game needs what RO has. The tank combat is amazing as well as the infantry combat. Reccommended to anyone mature enough to get the hang of this game.
-
-
JulioT.May 6, 2006Excellent game with the warfront detail. I've never expext this game to be like that, I was amazed how real look those tanks, artillery strikes, high-detail half tracks. The only thing I am worry i that we need more maps to enjoy this game in different scenarios. Keep it up!!!!!!!!1

JasonH.May 6, 2006If you like realism this game is for you. This game is better than the noob filled bf2.

JoeG.May 6, 2006What dod source should have been!!! needs some patching tho but pretty damn good game.

TonioDestroyMay 6, 2006De lo mas real que hay para jugar. Le faltan pequeños detalles para ser perfecto.

AlexB.May 6, 2006Poor, bad graphics, slow irritating unrealistic difficult gamepley. Wasted my money.
-
-
DillweedMay 6, 2006The multi player is great..Compared to COD 2 it blows the doors of of it and considering its a older engine that dosent help the COD2 cause either.
-
-
MarioR.May 5, 2006Realista y muy jugable, lo que le falla son los gráficos, pero no quiero pensar en que máquina necesitaríamos para mover el juego si estuviese con el motor del HL2 o del nuevo unereal. Se ve algo difuminado, pero es cuestión de acostumbrarse, sobretodo viniendo del DOD:Source.
-
-
CraigR.May 5, 2006Great game all 'round, only complaint is the loading times. The graphics are good - not great though, but the gameplay is amazing. Great work Tripware.
-
-
GlenF.May 4, 2006Best WW2 shooter out there. The graphics may be slightly out of date but they are still nice(gameplay>graphics). The game is highly realistic and the best gun model/ animations out of any WW2 FPS. If you like games like CSS this my not be your cup of tea. I suggest giving it a try anyway, if you're looking for a realistic WW2 experience.
-
-
AlanS.May 3, 2006I found red orchestra to be highly realistic, unlike most tactical shooters we've seen in this day and age. Although I didn't favor that it was on the unreal engine, it still is very non-linear, strategic, and fun to play.

texas_dollyApr 20, 2006Not everyone is meant for this shooter, and that's what makes it shine. Thumbing your nose at it's ut2.5 engine just makes you look like a bigger fool. Bunnyhopping AWP rambos can sit at the kiddy table while the grownups enjoy the best 25 bucks they've ever spent on a fps.
-
-
JonP.Apr 20, 2006AWSOME GAME. BTW, annoyed, dont rate a game you havnt played yet. This game is EXTREMELY realistic, fun, but does have a big learning curve. WWII lovers and FPS diehards MUST have this game!

EricApr 18, 2006Red Orchestra is amazing. Simply the best WWII online FPS/Simulation around. There are a few bad reviews here, but notice the poor grammar and sentence structure used in those reviews. Enough said.

ThomasM.Apr 18, 2006Sha-Weet! so realistic and well balanced. this game is not for noobs. russian friggin rule.

JohnJ.Apr 18, 2006Best ive played so far.No bunny hoping, run and gun frenzy like most of other fps. Its just what i was looking for.
-
-
AnnoyedApr 18, 2006Only five critics bothered to rate this game, and none of them rated it higher than 85. Also, the metascore is 80, not 81, as Steam claims. As for the game itself, what's the point? Save your money for some other, better prepared game.

ChrisHApr 17, 2006Excellent game. Played with a capable team, no other online shooter comes close. Astounding value for money.

MichaelR.Apr 17, 2006Excellent gamplay - great realism... But i missed some more gore and blood!!!
-

JoumanJ.Apr 17, 2006Amazing game.
-
-
YashaS.Apr 17, 2006Well, I am not the "War-Game" fan but after playing this for about an hour i was amazed how intense the game, I was really shaking after a airstrike. So i really want to reccomend the game to "War-Game" fans and actually everwone.

TrevorI.Apr 16, 2006Extremely laggy, load times rediculous. Poor effort.
-
-
JebP.Apr 16, 2006Good gameplay graphics are good but but are fuzzy even in higher res. and with high quality settings.
-
-
GregApr 15, 2006Excellent game. Great graphics great strategy
-
-
GrahamH.Apr 15, 2006Game play is great, it only needs some more game types i.e. last man standing and so on, it would make it as one of the best ever.
-
-
MacariusM.Apr 15, 2006Wish i could give it a "ten" but russian speech in the game spoils everything...it'd be great if there was some kind of alternative russian speech...listening to this moron and his dumb phrases makes me sick...it spoils the atmosphere of the game...not enough professionalism in this part... game as a whole is excellent

-
-
MikeM.Apr 15, 2006GREAT small unit infantry tactics sim. Very smooth gameplay, probably the best FPS for this time period.....BUT you guys HAVE to do something to improve the tank combat. It need much more of the real feel the infantry side has. The transport vehicles work fine, but the tanks need some major work.

JohnB.Apr 15, 2006Compared to games of its caliber and goals, it falls short due to technical limitations. The idea of realism itself ends up become a shortcoming of the game, especially in the community, as it ends up being an excuse for certain gimmicks and gameplay features (or lack of them). I feel there was significant ambition, but too much for a game won out of a competition from a mod.

AaronL.Apr 15, 2006absoluately brilliant, in terms of realism, there is no other ww2 games that can beat this, and i don't think there will be for a long time. (maybe if they release a second one :) )

DannyM.Apr 15, 2006Nice graphics and gameplay.
-

O_ring_masterApr 14, 2006Nice tanks battles ,intense infantry actions,hight realism better than call of duty and battlefeild,hard on ram quite long loading with 512meg,
-
-
JeffB.Apr 14, 2006Most authentic and immersive FPS yet to date. Don't expect COD or MOH. Expect to be killed a lot while you unlearn all the tendencies you picked up in those games. As you do, you will find your scores improving, and you'll find yourself sucked deeper and deeper into each map. Game of the year candidate for sure.

DavidJ.Apr 14, 2006Very good game . I like the game play and the realism . I have played alot of games out today and this game beats them all .
-

Vi3triceApr 14, 2006Best game ever. Yet,underappreciated....This is to all the people that gave this game a 0 : If you think youre so good...make better than them.You wont have enough money to make it, dumbass.

JamesJ.Apr 14, 2006This game is amazing and is only going to get better as the devs continue to update it... It blows their original (the mod version) away, not to mention the competition...

ChristopherD.Apr 11, 2006Most immersive WWII game I ever played! The sound is truely amazing and awe inspiring then ANY game I ever played. The added effects like motion blur and bloom really bring the game to life, even though the game doesn't have the most recent graphic technology implemented, the graphics show how gritty combat can be and brings geat immersion.

VincentT.Apr 11, 2006My god ive been waiting for a game like this for years.Keep it up this game is gonna get better i can see.Its so Authentic Tanks.Uniforms Brilliant. One Gripe though cant get on the Shelves in England.But who cares im gonna get from my steam account.I have not played anythig for over a year since WoW World of Warcraft,But hey the ppl who have made Red Orchestra I SALUTE you one and all.

ShooterJ.Apr 10, 2006It cannot be described as FPS. It is something else. More like OFP and AA. But better. Much better.... Ok .. back to playing :)

Ordie25Apr 5, 2006very well rendered. Sweet eye candy. a little goofey on the controls. wish this was as popular as bf2 and had as many players. it is worth the 25 bux to have it in your arsenal of fps's. i would give it a 10 if games had MANY people playing. again, it is a very good game.
-
-
BoogymanApr 5, 2006This game succeeds where others fail. The IGN review sums it well. Here's the clincher, if you are good enough to last the learning curve you'll find the game fun even heart-pounding.
-
-
Moni0Apr 4, 2006Just the best game I ever played. Graphism good with large and varied maps, detailled textures and best weapons skins. Best sounds. Best gameplay, not a stupid arcade game, but with tactic and teamplay needed.

JohnM.Apr 3, 2006There are some bugs in the game but they are not disrupting the true feeling. This game brings more to the table than any other WW2 FPS on the market. RO is nothing at all lke call of duty you must work as a team to achieve goals and command certain outposts. The range of weapons and classes allowed changes on each map. One of the better FPS out there!

M.G.Mar 31, 2006The best FPS i've ever played. The most realistic WWII FPS ever. Some of the best features are voice chat, controllable tanks, realistic physics, etc..

AllanT.Mar 31, 2006Imersive WWII eastern front action, i .... my self the first time i played it scary as hell. This is WAR! (no niceitys of modern combat - no crosshairs ;) Grab a rifle, grab a tank, prime your grenades, I shall see you on the battlefield.
-
-
DavidB.Mar 31, 2006Most of the ratings here are by the staff in order to promote the game they will probley remove this comment. honestly this game is alot like any other ww2 fps the graphics are bad and could be greatly improved. the game play is better then expected but still lacks in areas. I dont think its worth the money.

FireBladeXMar 30, 2006Perfect game!
-
-
BlakeH.Mar 29, 2006I love how this game has combined the best aspects from various games to create, what I would say, is the best WW2 FPS game so far. Great attention to detail, engaging gameplay, lots of gore, and different styles of gameplay, are all reasons why this is an overall great game.
-
-
AnonymousMCMar 29, 2006All of these 10's know what their talking about... RO is the best FPS I've played in my life. I was sold in the beta, but OST front adds a level of emmersion through detail that I never expected. Great work guys! (oh, and my street cred is CS beta 3-7,TacOps,Wolf3d, etc ^p^).
-
-
KaseyT.Mar 29, 2006Very good game. Any body who played the original will love this version more. It seems a twinge more arcade, then the ut2k3/4 mods. The tanking seems better, and the graphics are great.
-
-
OkeedokeyMar 29, 2006I give it a solid 6 because personally I think RED ORCHESTRA developed out of DoD:S because it's wwII, and it came out AFTER DoD:S sooo ya. But I give it credit for trying and the graphics.
-
-
KenM.Mar 29, 2006Quiet simply the best game I have ever played Achtung Panzer! Los los los!
-
-
JakeE.Mar 27, 2006I find Red Orchestra to be one of, if not the best WWII first person shooters. It emphasizes teamwork, and chooses a lesser known Russians vs Germans situation.
-
-
EliasO.Mar 27, 2006This game is simply the best WW2 shooter that is out there.
-
-
NickB.Mar 27, 2006Simply the best! :D The realism setting, the addiction, the quality is su-perb.
-
-
JustinC.Mar 27, 2006The best blend of realism, authenticty and simple team based action I have found yet. If you like your WWII games, enjoy multiplayer team based gaming and want something a bit different offering some real chance for immersion and proper battlefield tactics then look no further.

Awards & Rankings
-
I absolutely love the attention Tripwire has given to the small details in the game.
-
There's very little gameyness in RO and a whole lot of gritty crawling along the ground so you can flank over to that machine gunner and allow your team to advance to the next spawn point objective.
-
Red Orchestra is an enjoyable, team-based online shooter for those who like the Battlefield-style games but want a more technical and realistic experience.
