I've broken out of my shell and started playing squad leader more and tonight I just finished a match as most effective and highest scoring player for the match (360 points).

I tried to take a screenshot, but I guess it didn't capture.

Stoked! ;D

Start calling arty and you will get a lot of kills.

Yeah, definitely, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the Team Lead role just yet. I don't know that I completely grasp the intricacies of the scoring system.

However, I'm finding that I'm not too bad as a Squad Leader. I seem to have a knack for getting into good defilade close to the objective and then popping some good smoke. When I get a good handful of spawns on me it works pretty well (or at least it was last night).

I can't believe how much fun I was having.

I've got to many games to play right now :) but I look for the highest player and least bots servers. I love the game will play though, just not got much play in yet

Whatever's populated, Realistic or Classical mode, and low ping.

Lately I've just been mostly bot-farming though as I can't often find a decent server with more than 5-6 human players. That's fine. It lets me level up my weapons quickly.

Note, if you buy Rising Storm, it comes with Red Orchestra 2 FREE.

So, it's two games in one.

The opposite is not true if you buy RO2, however. So, my very, VERY strong recommendation is to pick Rising Storm up at this price. It is among my favorite games, and my "go to" game for Friday night beer drinking gaming.

Ouch. I thought there were a few regularly filled-up multiplayer servers running. You play during odd hours or is the ping an issue?

I've not fired up Rising Storm yet since I try to aim for primetime for multiplayer, and that doesn't always pan out. I figure if I try to play at odd hours, the populated servers will mostly be in Europe, with worse ping.

From what I understand, all you really need is Rising Sun since it comes with RO2 (?).

Unless you wanna spend the extra money on the original RO series. Dunno if many ppl still play that, however.
