I mean you can still play it, it always has a couple full servers, some vanilla and some modded. It’s just unfortunate it’ll never get any updates or new content outside mods.
Coming back to say the some of the devs from Blackmatter started another company and bought the rights for '83 and are have started up development again
Thanks for posting these videos mate! Well put "All around fun with realism sprinkled on top" 100% agree, rs2 is my fav fps and one of my top 5 games of all time as well. There's something about this game that makes it so special. The fact that it hasn't gotten an update for a very long time would usually leave any game to die on the vine. But the community of rs2 (kind of) has done that for everyone. The mods. The map making. All of it. I can still get into a mostly full server day or night over the last year. Long live RS2
i have almost 600 hours on this game which is A LOT for my standards, it's just fun tbh, i don't think there are many other shooters that balance realism and arcade so well as rs but we really need a new red orchestra/rising storm game in 2023 ngl
@@Tantwo Didnt it go free on epic games at one point amd then there was a good update? I was sure it was gonna blow up then. It kinda did but sucks that it died down a bit. I do still enjoy it too and Red orchestra, its timeless for me. Nothing comes close except maybe HLL but even that is very different
Dude the song as the alarm song part is so true thought. I set message in a bottle by the police as my alarm for one year during highschool and I cant listen to it or running through the jungle by choice.
Perfect video talking about a near perfect game (gameplay wise). It's a shame we are not getting a sequel or spiritual sequel any time soon (and maybe ever), I mourn '83 every day :(
i played a LOT!!!! of Red Orchestra 1 (and its mod, Darkest Hour) . and IDK if its just the look and feel of unreal engine 2.5..... or how the weapons look a bit smaller/more realistic..... or the harder combat but i still say RO1 is the best RO/RS game ever made.... (especially back when 100s played RO1... the modding community was the BEST EVER) . everything from real panzer mod..... to "Sparta/300 kick hole" bayonet only maps . . and RO1 was just more realistic.... its spawning system made sense for a game centered around Stalingrad...... and its STILL the only RO/RS to do tanks right RS2 tanks had potential.... but not being able to jump out, and only 1 tank model sucks . . like.... COD World At War had tanks..... before they got removed even COD united offensive had 2 tank types (heavy tanks killed mediums in 1 hit.... yet it was STILL balanced as finely as counter strike) . idk.... RO1 back in its hay days.... with a good commander, god mods, amazing player base...... and LARGE combined arms maps that is STILL the best game i ever played . . nothing has made me want to come home from work/school and play till 2AM..... then do it all again the next day like RO1 did . nothing has yet to match it........... and thats sad RO2 was great for inf combat..... but was dumbed down a bit (a bit too much fast pace..... not enough 1.5KM walks from spawn like in RO1) . old school darkest hour came close.... before they added squad mechanics to make it EXACTLY like any other squad based game........ . . . but ya..... TLDR RO1 is still the best game ive ever played...... and id play the base game, no mods, today for 10 hours straight, get fired from work, loose my GF..... id even let my dogs/cat starve to death (jk... love my rez mutts too much) if it meant i could go back to thows worry free days and AMAZING mods/community . RO1 just SLAPPED...... . . everything you said about RS2 nam is true........ but peak RO1 was just better . i still think RO1s graphics does some things better than RS2.......
My only regret is that I wasn't around in time to play the original Rising Storm and Red Orchestra 2 in their prime. RS2 is still such an incredible and genuinely fun game to play - especially with the weapon handling. It's arcadey enough that it's easy to pick up and play, but it's realistic enough the guns feel beefy and don't just shoot wet spaghetti. Also the "ping" you get when you get a headshot is peak.
Man you are right. In this game you dont need to worry about many things. Just play the game and it's short Because I want some fun after whole day work. Not the OPs FOBs........
This game is amazing. It is my favourite shooter. The immersion is great. I'd say that this game as well as Project Reality and Darkest Hour: Europe '44 - '45 are ganes that suck you in being fully immersed.
I would say that Burning Lands looks good but I have been obsessed with Vietnam war games since the original Vietcong, Eve of Destruction mod and Battlefield Vietnam. RS2 is hands down one of my favourite online games, it has that perfect balance and the intensity is just right. What Burning Lands lacks is the freeaim system though, RO/RS has the detached aiming system that makes handing the weapons so much more interesting (like firing at sharp angles in close quarters), having the aiming locked to the center of the screen sucks. I hope they can element that in Burning Lands!
I have around 150 hours on this snd it's the only thing that actually scratches my Vietnam gaming itch. Honestly the only gripe I have is that the ragdolls can buy out sometimes vut that's about it. Long Live PR Long campaign server. It doesn't matter how long I don't play but when I come back that server is always there waiting. I would almost kill for a studio that could make more official content for this game but we all know thst won't happen. I think that's the main issue honestly, People play for a couple of rounds untill they play Hue city for the third time in a campaign and then they stop flr a couple of weeks
Got this game recently and I really enjoy it except for the fact that for some reason I can’t even load into 90% of the servers and have to get lucky to play.
I seem to be haunted by a bug that prevents me from leveling up. I reached level 40 four times!! I reinstalled the game and progressed to Level 41. And then got stuck again, unable to progress past 1k points in Level 41. I should probably be Level 50 by now.
My main issue with RS2 is that (atleast in EU servers) most servers with official maps have map voting, which means that 90% of the time it's same 3 or 4 maps. I have over 200 hours in the game and I don't think I played on all maps yet. Really gets tiring of seeing same maps all the time, which is why I liked to play on custom maps servers.
It’s somewhat ironic that you played as the NLF lmao. Since one of your squad leader’s name translates to something close to "Communist K*lling Angel."
I put my PC from the Living Room back into his Gaming Closet and so i also will ve playing again, cant see sh*t on a 49" FHD TV compared to my 27" WQHD
there will NEVER be a realistic shooter like rs2 I enjoy, sandstorm is the closest to it that I enjoy but it being so much more focused on cqc combat instead of ranged itll just never be what rs2 is.
there has to be a problem on your end because I have a 5700x and 4070ti and I demolish the game on ultra settings. Maybe do a reinstall or delete the documents folder that contains RS2 to reset the settings?
Yeah I paused the vid on your scoreboard and found the server, I'll probably be playing tonight. I actually got depressed when the SEA server went down a few months ago as I had been playing RS2 everyday for about 6 months lol, I fucking love it. BRONSON@@Tantwo
