I'm a friendly neighborhood Soviet combat engineer. I blow down the door to the ammo bunker, find a lonely StG-44 with a bayonet, and continue walking to see this:
Then I get killed by one of the many, many grenades the Germans are throwing to try and destroy it. Totally worth that golden situation, though. Red Orchestra 2.
How does one play RO2 correctly (and by that I mean minus the buggy bugs :x)
I can't finish the last mission of the german campaign due to those bugs (ie You've died! Respawn? > Respawns as a guy within the ground, usually near a trench but NOPE. Stuck in soil :v Can't suicide or grenade self...)
Step one: Stop playing singleplayer.
But, seriously, the RO2 AI is horrendous. They simply can't handle the terrain or proper tactics and have a frightening tendency to march single-file into machine gun fire, along with gems such as this:
The game is much more enjoyable when playing multiplayer.
Anyway, yes, a key part of surviving RO2 is staying low and in cover, since one bullet can do you in if it hits the right place. When you're scanning an area for enemies, either sit in a dark, secluded spot where the other guys are unlikely to see you or quickly peek out, look around, and go back into cover before your head is blown off. Move to a different spot and repeat until you feel it's safe to advance. Turning up the sound to a pretty good level (as far as your ears/housemates can handle) will help, since it'll make quieter sounds, like footsteps, more obvious, and can help you pin down where gunshots are coming from. There's plenty of tips that can be found on other forums, either for the game in general or specific classes.
