I feel the same way about RO. There are some very promising elements to it but for me it several technical issues added up to take this off my list of active titles I play. And by tecnical I'm not talking about comms or anything to do with game play...I didn't enjoy the graphics too much and I thought that hit detection was too random. With all the build up here at TG ...frankly I was quite disappointed in the title.

Another thing that threw me off this title was the fact that I never knew what type of players were going to be on the server. I felt there was a hit or miss factor re: good cooperative game play on our server. I felt there always was a 50 50 chance that I'd be playing along with somone who was either less tactically minded or worse. This sounds elitist I know and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.

Example of what I say. 1st MIP or like minded players would form up and try a flanking and suppressing maneuver using stealth and deliberation. Half the time a smg'er would come running along and blast away at the enemy in front of us--giving up our position and blowing the attack. At the end, it was very frustrating. Since there is no effective overall command structure, this happened time and time again. Maybe as a 1st MIPer we were too demanding and expected too much....and I know, I've seen it written a thousand times if once, maybe we were too spoiled by the comms in BF2.

From my perspective as a 1st MIPer I just enjoyed BF2 Tac mod more. It slowed BF2 down and it allows the 1st MIP to operate as we've always wanted to--with complex, multi strategy small unit tactics.

Sorry RO guys--I gave it the college try but it just didn't cut it.
