I haven't had any trouble finding a populated Rising Storm, nor RO2 server yet.  I'm not saying there are a lot, but I can always find one or two.  On weekend evenings there are obviously a lot more (by a lot maybe 6-10 from which to choose).

Last night I played a mode I haven't seen before.  I was playing RO2 on a server that was running a "campaign" mode.  Basically there were about 10 provinces on a strategic map and each round was for control of the province.  The goal was for one team or the other to capture the most provinces.  The winner of a round got to choose the map for the next round, and victory levels from the previous round dictated force levels, who was on offense and defense, etc.  Something like that, anyway.

It was pretty neat.  It tied rounds together in a way I hadn't seen before, and it made victory and loss in a round more important.

I enjoyed it very much.  I really highly recommend this game!

I don't know that I'd pick up RO1 though, even for $5.  Just not much action there, and RO2 is better (IMHO).

They still haven't flushed out the campaign for RS though.  Instead of using a map of the Pacific to select the next battle, it uses the map of Stalingrad from RO2 with German and Soviet control markers to represent the US and Japanese sides.  "OK, so the tractor works is Iwo Jima?"
