There are no crosshairs.
Green tracers were REALLY used, read up.

Let wikipedia educate you:
Tracers are special bullets that are white phosphorus-tipped or contain a powder in their base that burns very brightly during their flight. This enables the shooter to follow the bullets' trajectories. The shooter then, typically, "walks" his cone of fire onto the target by seeing where the tracer is going. Tracers have been used extensively in machine guns since World War I (1914-1918) and are usually loaded at a ratio of one tracer per four rounds in ground guns, and one tracer per every two or three rounds in aircraft guns.

I love it when the retarded 14-year old kids who've played counter strike and other arcade shooters their entire lives come in and argue that this is not realistic.
Well it is (you stupid fucks).
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

haha you idiots... I wasnt criticizing the fact that there were tracers... I am criticizing the way they did it... can you honestly say those look realistic? did cod,BiA, DoD, Mohaa..... get their tracers all wrong?
is it wrong of me to think that tracers back then were a whte or orange colour? or maybe even a dull green...
someone tell me that the tracers were actually neon green and bounced into the air after hitting mounds of earth....
also the fact that I used the word "tracer" would imply I know the meaning of it, especially in this context. So my arguement obviously would not be how having tracers with be unrealistic.

Since the other ones locked, Did they patch it already? I'm getting a "your game is not compatible with this server" error now, on every server.

well could anyone explain somethings, like:
- is this a new game? or need ut04 or some to play?
- is only multiplayer game? or are there bots to play too?
- if we pay 25$, later how many costs per month? we only must pay to buy and later is free?
- where we can play this game? only on steam? not more ways like allseeingeye?
- what about cracked games?

If Red Orchestra won't launch:
In your Steam client, right click on RO, click Properties, click Local Files and then Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
It will finish downloading the game.
If you are getting a: This copy of RO: Ostfront is not compatible with the server you are connecting to.
In your Steam client, go to File, click Change User and then log in again.
See you on the battlefield! |

Just tried that 3 times, even went into my official then back, still getting that message.
edit: Got it to work...dont know how, just kept doing that and it just worked eventually...then the server emptied and I tried to join a different one, getting the message again. Annoying to say the least, gotta buy this once I get the cash, but I hope that error is not in the official as well because I see that was an official message on how to fix it.

I like it, the lack of crosshair is at first a little daunting but aiming down the iron sights becomes pretty easy once you get used to it. Also expect to die a lot, so you need to be patient with this. The co-op tank stuff is pretty fun you have to learn how to work together in order to rack up kills.
Only major problem I found was that the servers feel a bit empty as the maps are pretty large.

I couldnt get it to work online at all....
I installed steam, updated, made an account, Edited steamapp.cfg
Changed
SteamAppId=1200
#SteamAppVersionId=0
SteamInstallPath="d:\Program Files\Steam"
# [as is clearified later on, this should be your email address / account username:]
SteamAppUser="username"
SteamUserPassphrase=password
Ive tried the above with and without the quotes to no avail...
And yes this should be in the technical thread, but thats what kiddie moderators are for..moving threads
Good evenings sir!... May I have your bank account details and sortcode please...

Ive tried it like you said too, infact every combination, and it does not work at all,
I was wondering if it made a difference where you have it installed..
EDIT: More specific,
I unpack to c:/red orchestra
Do the above steam app cfg, Launch red orchestra, and It will not connect to the master servers,so it fails at getting the server list, but i can play practisemode..
