What is Red Orchestra 2?

Red Orchestra 2: Hero’s of Stalingrad is the sequel to the original Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. In this sequel to the original World War 2 First Person Shooter you will participate in the bloodiest battle in history, the battle for the city of Stalingrad. This is because in this edition to the series you will play as both German and Russian during furious fighting in real locations within the city while using realistic weaponry and vehicles used during the battle between July 1942 to February 1943.

What does Red Orchestra 2 offer?

Red Orchestra 2 offers highly addictive and varied game play from brutal close-quarter firefights to more elaborate and ranged combat, while still offering a realistic and authentic feel for the battle for Stalingrad.

Game Modes:

Territory Mode - is the original gamemode based off original games famous Attack, Hold and Defend objectives within the set timelimit, or until one side runs out of reinforcements.

Countdown Mode: Countdown mode is a total new concept to Red Orchestra 2 in which you have single life to assault, defend or eliminate the enemy team within a set time limit. If the attacks complete the objective then they everyone then re-spawn and it moves onto the next objective in the series. This continues till the attackers either win and complete all objectives in the series or until the defenders eliminate the enemy team at which point they switch sides.

Firefight Mode - has everyone favourite relaxed game play mode team death-match which had a very interesting twist compared to the other game modes, in that it does not have any class restrictions.

Cover System

The game also includes an easy to use and dynamic first person cover system which provides the ultimate experience which allows, from total immersion in first person view. Peek or blind fire over and around cover and more.

Squad Command

The squad command experience allows players to take control of the full tactical situation allowing them to issues commands to their fire teams and squads on the battlefield using an easy to use system. Moreover, it allows them to call in their necessary artillery and support to lead their units to victory or defeat.

Tanks and Weapons Realism

Red Orchestra offers a realistic infantry and tanking experience. All WW2 weapons ingame have true to life ballistics, bullet penetration, breathing, adjustable sights, free aim, weapon bracing, photo-real graphics and more, creating WWII Infantry that has no equal. Furthermore, Red Orchestra 2 is raising the bar with its redefining tanking experience. All tanks and vehicles in Red Orchestra 2 have a authentic virtual interior with complex damage systems that allows you to the see the guy sitting next to you die while in the tank. You will never feel less safe while in a tank!
