Wont pre-order this, cant trust tripwire as they still havent fixed all the bugs in RO2, and now they expect me to pay for a dlc that was suppose to be free for those who bought RO2. Will prolly get it on a sale as ive been waiting for this for a loooong time now. Damn slow working people, this shouldve been released last year.
this!
I like RO2 in general, clocked around 200+ hours playing it, but it is way too raw for a commercial game... Buggy as fuck. CQC and cover system is an awkward mess. I am having hard time pointing out, what exactly is wrong with it, a lack of polish of sorts... Everything you do - run, climb ladders, take cover, using map as a commander - it all feels unfinished somehow. If you ever played ARMA 2, you will understand what i mean.
I expect Rising Storm to be just as buggy, and with so many PvP shooters out there - servers will be empty by the end of this month...
EDIT:
You might be able to play Rising Storm even if you don't buy it, but you will be limited in some ways (probably only play rifle class or level limited). Same if you buy Rising Storm, you can play regular RO2. So 1 map might be RS, then the next RO2 on some servers and everyone can play on either map. Not totally sure if TWI confirmed that.
Interesting... So I can play RS if i own RO2?.. Might give it a try later today.
