Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45

This game.. is simply amazing.
The setting of it takes place on the Western WWII front. This was known to be the most brutal part of the war. And for this reason...
You probly don't remeber the "Make Something Real" compitetion but it was put out by Unreal and whoever make the best mod to the game won quite a bit of money to make their own game. This is that game so to win it must be good. Check out some details....
The most realistic war shooter on the market right now. A few instances of this...
Get hit in the leg you can see your screen move as you limp, and your speed decreases to very little.
It can take 1-5 bullets to kill someone.
If you move a shoot without doing Iron Sights (Zooming) it is almost impossible to hit someone. Staying prone, and staying still will give u the most accurate shot along with crouch in the middle.
It is absolutelty impossible to run-'n-gun in this game. That means instant death. Its definatly a hide in a trench, poke your head up, shoot, and duck down game.
Camping is one of the best strageties.
It is made by history freaks and everything is insanely accurate. Even where you hit a tank to hurt it (Shoot its tread and it can't move much anymore. If you tilt a tank shells from other tanks will bounce off of it. You have to shoot the seams of a tank perfectly.)
The action is extremely fast paced and non-stop. Feeling that death can come from any rooftop, corner, tree, or scenery is a very scary feeling.
Artillary strikes are one of the most graphically amazing things i've ever seen. The teamwork system in the game is quite amazing.
I think everyone should atleast look at it. Basically log on/get a Steam account and buy it for 24.95 and a 1.5 hour download. Its an online game only and now that the map editor is out its about to explode. It also has the great server technology where you download the map if the server you want to play on doesn't have it. Which I would kill if SWBF2 did.

P.S. If you have any questions feel free to ask i'd be happy to answer.

This is taken from the Team Frag Website and you can learn more here http://www.teamfrag.netIts difficult to fathom the price the Soviets (Russia) paid in sheer blood. They lost more lives than any other Allied nation or any two combined. Its not possible to know for sure, but estimates range between 23 million to 27 million. To help understand the magnitude of that figure, the USA lost approximately 300,000, Great Britain - 390,000, China who fought on the Allied side was closest with 11 million. Germany itself suffered 7 million casualties.
