    Best WWII shooter I have ever played, period. brings the term "realsim" to a whole new level. no run & gun kiddie arcade crap here. Just total immersion into a realistic WWII envoironment. The tank combat is thrilling as well.

    More than I ever could have hoped for in a WW2 game. the immersion is better than any game I have ever played. I can see myself (once a critic of RO) playing this game for a long time.

    This game is fantastic. I feel it immerses you into WWII like no other WWII fps game.

    Wow...not for the faint of heart. But a great game. Gritty action and pure craftmanship in the development side. A real pleasure to play.

    The graphics are great, I turned all mine up to max and it still runs smooth (P4 3.0, 1 gig RAM, Nvidia 5700LE vcard). The maps are great eye candy. You have to get used to iron sights (no crosshairs, on any gun), and some realistic slow reloads and rifle cocking, but it is worth it.

    Don't know what the people moaning about graphics are on about - just crank them up and it looks just like the trailer. Get yerself a new gfx card if it can't do the job and stop running it in teent resolutions. Gameplay is real intense - just different with no x-hairs and no bunny-hopping.

    A fantastic, realistic feeling WW2 fps, its more tactic based than any other game ww2 shooter i've came across - I personally think the graphics are excellent :-) Love tank battles, but also the infantry maps are superb as well ^ ^

    Great game. those who did not research this game before buying it are the ones giving this game a low rating. This game has great support from the devs, gameplay is fantastic and the graphics while not topnotch are realistic and quite good! There will be a demo out soon if you want to play before you buy($25US on steam)

    The most intense War game out there. It does have a few issues to be resolved but the game play makes up for this

    This game blows away COD2, DOD:S, and every other FPS that calls itself a *war* game. RO:O's kickass graphics (and yes, they are good - some people apparently don't know how to change their settings) and sound really immerse you in the war.

    This game is realistic with a good variety of maps. Good support from the developers and a great community surrounding it. I would give it a 10, but no game is ever perfect. :)

    Most intense and realistic game i've played so far. I would have given it a 10 if it weren't for a few annoying bugs, but i guess they will be fixed later on.

    I pre-ordered this game thrusting steam would not put anything worthless in their system. This is by far the worst game I have ever played. It is a waste of time money and bandwidth. The movies and the screen shots looks great but that is not what you get in the game. Movement is slugish the graphics are based on the outdated Unreal engine (yes this is not a source engine game).

And if plan on playing a slodier you may forget that as well. the maps are huge and you "have to" drive something. and of course you are seeing everything from a 1x4 inch screen. The only people who will love this game are the snipers who like to camp in one position. I would have donated the money wasted on this game to a charity. at least it would have done some good. Now it is used by Tripwire to make more useless games... I w?ould have give -10 if I was given the option. Do not buy! Avoid like the plaque.… Expand

    The ease of use with this game is very high. Finding servers and friends is easy and reliable. Downloading and installing is almost effortless. the game has a manual with relevant info and the menus are well laid out. Really the only challenging thing about the game is surviving. You have to be smart to survive. if your not you have two choices. learn to fight smart, or get used to respawning.

    I always play Call Of Duty and Call Of Duty2 but when I bought RO I realize that I played wrong games!! No croshair, no sprays, no bullsh.t - this is real WAR!

    I love this game. It's extremely realistic but still good at the same time. The only downside is there are several small bugs, very few of which majorly affect the gameplay and AI is kinda bad even on the highest difficulty. Also, the loading times are long.

    This game is wait I was waiting for. A perfect mix between fast action and extreme realism. Considering that game is using a 2/3 years old engine graphism are very well done. And this game is sold under 30 $ ! If you're not afraid about high skill level that is required to play and if you're a fan of "true" realism game like operation flashpoint (not call of duty).

    This game was a step backward. DOD:S and CS:S are the benchmark and this fell well short.

    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.
