Until next time this is Fegelein Puching Zhang signing off for .īased in Chicago, Fegelein Puching Zhang is our gaming scribe at years ago, Tripwire Interactive turned an award winning Unreal mod into a smash hit with both WWII and FPS fans. Still, good job Tripwire Interactive, good job. Yet the bad graphics and all the technical glitches make Red Orchestra 2 feel like a classic beta that still needs to go back to the company for testing. This game has details about the battle that I’ve never seen in any history books or documentaries before. I liked the concept, and the historical campaign was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Overall I’ll have to give Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad a 7/10. We veterans don’t want to hear you rage and quit in the first two seconds of the game.) (On that topic, 12 year old boys, don’t try this multiplayer. I will commend Tripwire for its details, large amount of classes and the promotion of teamwork in the multiplayer mode, a step above noob attackers or campers, like in Call of Duty. Plus, my map has turned into the weirdest colors at times - just unexplainable glitches. For instance, I’ve seen all my allies gather in one spot and just stand there, while I go straight to the objective and get massacred. The multiplayer is a good concept, but it’s still riddled with serious AI glitches. Plus, Tripwire Interactive combined my version of the game with the expansion pack Rising Storm, allowing the player to play as the Japanese or Americans as well as the classic Germans or Soviets. Graphics-wise, I experienced many bugs and glitches, up to and including freeze frames and goofy, unnatural movements by the AI.įinally, the multiplayer mode in the game is basically an online version of single-player. Red Orchestra 2 just doesn’t have anywhere close to the high detail most other FPS games offer, even those a couple of years old. The graphics look cheap and outdated (and in 2014, they actually are to some degree). Now, unfortunately, the graphics aren’t as good as the campaign. But it’s a fun challenge for experienced FPS players. You’ll rage and quit faster than a German would get sniped in the actual battle. At this point you’re probably thinking, this game is so hard, how do people even survive? To which I reply, “Welcome to Stalingrad, 1942.” I won’t recommend this game to rookies. Make sure to get in under cover too, because if you’re ever out in the open: lights out. Nope, you’re stuck in the hell that is Stalingrad. The player isn’t some overpowered buff guy wrecking his way through the whole place, only to escape in a random helicopter.

To be honest, Call of Duty on veteran was equal to Red Orchestra 2 on rookie (though it was just like a normal FPS on multiplayer).īasically, the player either attacks or defends a series of objectives to achieve victory - essentially a bloody version of king of the hill. You’ll be hearing those clips over and over. And it’s a good thing the whole experience feels authentic because, as I said at the outset, the campaign itself is so hard. The diction, the voice acting and the accents are portrayed perfectly. The narration in Red Orchestra 2 really sets the mood as the player heads out to either crush the forces of Bolshevism or destroy the Fascist beast. The German campaign ends at a cliffhanger, while the Soviet campaign brings the battle to an end, providing closure to the story.
The player moves through a historically-based battle in extremely high detail, which of course makes me feel like an actual soldier fighting for a cause. So many games are predictable - allies are the good guys, axis are evil - and Red Orchestra 2 really changes that up. Personally, I find games that allow the player to experience both sides of battle to be way more enjoyable. German and Soviet campaigns are available and playable, but the Soviet campaign is not accessible until the German one is complete. In Red Orchestra 2, you’re right in the Battle of Stalingrad. If you love FPS action as much as I do, you definitely want to take a closer look at Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad. In-depth review below. I found it much more difficult than, say, Call of Duty. And I found out, as first-person shooters go - and that’s what Red Orchestra is - this is a seriously challenging game.

I was new to the Red Orchestra series until recently, but when I saw it was free off Steam, I decided to give it a try.
