I picked this game because I tried playing Foxhole and loved it, but simply didn’t have the time and connections required to really play that game. I wasn’t loving RwR for the first hour or two, but once I got the WW2 expansion and tried the WW1 mods, I enjoyed the game MUCH more. Playing with a bolt action rifle slowed the gameplay down a bit more and made it more tactical to me. Running with Rifles boasts tight, simple controls, generally bright AI (except for driving and making quick pushes), attractive graphics, and few bugs. An arcade game? 100%, but there’s definitely a bit of strategy behind positioning, flanking, and general awareness. Probably not my favorite game, but definitely worth it, especially if it’s on sale. It’s addictive and rewarding and makes me feel like I’m playing Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield 2 again, which is super refreshing, especially coming from a small studio. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what they create in the future.

About This Game
In RWR, you join the ranks of an army as a common soldier, just like the thousands around you.
The open world approach lets you define your own path and story in the campaign. Push back the enemy with your comrades or go deep behind enemy lines to sabotage their efforts and loot valuable items.
As you gain experience, you are promoted with higher command over soldiers and equipment. Call in artillery fire missions or paratrooper reinforcements when the situation gets tight! Use your squad to man armed boats, tanks and APC's, or, become the expert lone wolf you always aspired to be - it's up to you!

The only game I keep returning to. There's always some cover to hold, some flanking maneuver to accomplish and a tank ride to do. This game made me start playing video games again. If my steam library is a shame to look at and I still cannot find a game to play, I back up on this game. It always is there for me. Just like the same 8 to 20 veteran guys running with their rifles and clearing the map for me. The main theme song is a cancer to hear and haunts me whenever I run the game. After years, I decided to turn it off. Nowadays I listen to podcasts when I play the game. It's the same vibe to me as if I played Euro Truck Simulator 2.
This game is great *stab* *stab* move in squad!
Fantastic game! heaps of fun - many way to play the same game. From big battles to stealth missions, sniping to vehicle driving Similiar to Company of Hereo's except you get to be a soldier, however still being able to command a little squad
