Joining a server, you’ll pick from a number of classes. Once you’ve got those controls figured out, it’s time to go online, and that’s where Red Orchestra 2 really shines. You can even adjust the sights of your weapon to compensate for range, which is a great feature in a game that features so many rifles. Heavy machine guns like the MG34 can be deployed on objects of the correct height, and doing so is a must to being effective with them. You can also use cover as a rest for your weapon, making it more stable and accurate. Your view stays in first person while in cover, so leaning out to assess the battlefield is a must. RO2 also allows you to run while crouched, vault over obstacles, and even take cover. Like most shooters, you can run, sprint, jump and go prone, but that’s not all. RO2 features a wide range of controls, and the reason I mentioned getting a feel for them is because it takes a while to master. What it does do is give you a less hectic place to get a feel for the game, the maps and the myriad controls before you attempt to go online. The multiplayer (which I’ll talk about shortly) is a very complex, team-oriented experience, and the AI simply can’t hold up its end of the bargain. While this is a welcome improvement over just playing multiplayer with bots, the AI makes the singleplayer experience somewhat disappointing. However, RO2 adds in some narrated cutscenes that function as mission briefings, and lays out a series of objectives to fulfill. Red Orchestra 2′s singleplayer is very much reminiscent of other multiplayer shooters that simply give you the multiplayer maps and bots to shoot at. This was true of the original Red Orchestra as well, but veterans of the first game will find something entirely new here: a full-fledged singleplayer mode.
Players will join either the German or Russian armies, after which they’ll find themselves in iconic battles ripped from the pages of history. Red Orchestra 2 is, at its core, a quasi-realistic depiction of the Eastern Front of World War 2.
That mod team is now known as Tripwire Interactive, and they’ve just released their second WW2 title, Red Orchestra 2.
Back in 2007, a little World War 2 mod called Red Orchestra took the prize. This year, Haunted: Hell’s Reach won the prize. Each year, they award one awesome mod team an Unreal Engine license to make their game a reality. The Make Something Unreal contest is one of the most awesome things Epic Games does.
