The Firing Squad posted a late but well thought out review of Red Orchestra. It’s interesting how many reviews end up comparing RO to BF2 and this review is no exception. They give RO a 75%, which is a little low in my opinion, however they do recgonize where it beats games like BF2 in terms of TR play.

As a consequence of these gameplay decisions, Red Orchestra does play out fairly realistically. Unlike the Battlefield games, there are fairly clear lines of battle and no enemies spawning behind you just because they captured a flag thirty seconds ago. Objectives tend to be captured in some fashion resembling order – perhaps you may rush up a bridge and capture both sides of a river before securing your own side all along the river, perhaps not, but there’s little incentive to rush behind enemy lines since spawn points are fixed.
