    It's been out for a good 1-2 years. I have played it for like 5 minutes. The AI is quite different and there are more weapons then COD2.

    So, after Sept 3 you can't play it anymore?

    How big is the file? I wouldn't be surprised if it took me a while to download the game, haha.

    i just played this game for a little while and i noticed they upgraded a lot of the graphics since the game is a couple years old. i also noticed that the server list is PACKED with people! did anyone else know that this game had such a big fanbase online? im thinking about buying it but i'm also going to buy cod2... i think the only difference between these two games is that you play with the russians in red orchestra.

    what do you guys think about this game and multiplayer? is it worth the buy?

    I played this game a few months ago and I didn't really like it. It's one of those games that attempt to take realism to far, far enough where the game isn't fun.

    In my opinion, if you want a good WW2 fps download DoD Source.
