God dammit, why the hell can't I get into Red Orchestra?

People keep telling me that its a decent game. And it may be when I can actually kill something. 9 times out of ten I will go out run behind some cover, try to shoot someone and miss horribly, since im essentially aiming at a dot on the horizon and need to account for bullet drop and bullet travel time, only to be killed by someone else.

I just suck at the game, and maybe its time to hang it up. >:(

Man I played it way back... I thought it was cool because no one else played it and therefore I was on the forefront of something cool, thereby making me cool...

Turns out it was just a really nerdy ass game. It was good for a while, but I don't think I could ever be entertained with it anymore. Back then I had entire summers to play games and countless hours to master some shitty slow paced game. Now I work all day come home tired and if I feel up to it play an hour or two of CoD4 or Halo 3 because the speed works into my time budget.

You know, I play it off and on, and sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. I can't really get in to it either, but I've definitely had some enjoyable times at it.

it has its fun moments for sure, but i don't really play it

Red Orchestra reminds me of Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie's song, "Every OS Sucks." Specifically the part about Linux.

However you say it, it's getting great press,
though how it survives is anyone's guess,
If you ask me, it's a great big mess,
for elitist, nerdy shmucks.

"It's free!" they say, if you can get it to run,
the Geeks say, "Hey, that's half the fun!"
Yeah, but I got a girlfriend, and things to get done,
the Linux OS SUCKS.
(I'm sorry to say it, but it does.)

I had the same problem and never really got into like I have other games but it was much more playable for me when I started playing the city maps and then once I got used to it a bit THEN go for the bigger open maps.

Try danzig, that was always fun for me.

As someone who actually enjoys playing RO, the main appeal for me is how it is a demanding game but it is also immensely rewarding. Maneuvering and positioning can be just as important skills as aiming, and being observant is probably even more important than anything. Though nailing some poor bastard from halfway across the map with a single well-aimed shot is a great feeling.

ugh, danzig is so overplayed
