Features:

RO multiplayer taken to new heights: Tripwire’s renowned MP already exceeds that of much of the competition – the new game will stretch that lead even further. With highly addictive and fun varieties of game-play online, the game will feature everything from quick, brutal firefights, through to more intricate and challenging simulation modes.

Persistent Stats Tracking and Player Progression: Persistence constantly gives the gamer something to strive for and keeps them playing. Grow in rank, earn medals, improve your abilities, and become a Hero – all visible to the complete online gaming community and embedded within the game.

 

Heroes: Obtain the ultimate goal and become a Hero online. Players with hero status inspire troops around them and cause fear in their enemies. Heroes have access to the best and rarest weapons and equipment, and will stand out visually from the rest of the soldiers.

 

Stalingrad Campaign: The Stalingrad campaign will feature the multiplayer maps used in a campaign layout recreating the battle for Stalingrad from both the German and Russian sides. This will be enhanced with story elements through the form of mission introductions and in-game cinematic sequences that begin and end the campaign.

Unique Focus – the Battle of Stalingrad in depth: takes the familiar WWII genre into a unique direction. Far removed from the well-trodden Normandy setting, gameplay is based on fresh scenarios and actions the player has never experienced before. Follow the German army as they assault the city of Stalingrad, to the banks of the Volga. Follow the Soviet army as it holds the city against all the odds then destroys the Axis forces.

 

First person cover system: Experience the ultimate firefights that a cover system allows, from the immersion of a first person view. Peek or blind fire over and around cover and more.

 

Squad Command: Command fire teams on the battlefield using an easy to use first person interface. Suppress the enemy, send a fire team to flank them and hit them where it hurts!

WWII weaponry redefined: true to life ballistics, bullet penetration, breathing, adjustable sights, free aim, weapon bracing, photo-real graphics and more, create WWII weaponry that has no equal.

 

Co-op: Players can connect with their friends and battle AI in multiple game types including the Stalingrad Campaign, Skirmish Mode, and more.

when did they announce the august release date?

 

i hope it comes to retail here, although i doubt it will :(

 

RO1 was $22 on steam day1 so I I'm thinking they will price this under 30 bucks.

 

This should keep me occupied until the holiday madness begins.

Red Orchestra 2 to sport VAC and Punkbuster

 

Super hardcore shooter Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad is going to be almost as tough on cheaters as it is on newbs fresh from Modern Warfare 2, using both Valve Anti-Cheat and Punkbuster.

 

Punkbuster confirmed its technology’s inclusion, as well as that of Valve Anti-Cheat, following a reveal at the Tripwire Interactive Conference on competitive gaming.

 

Punkbuster staff believe Heroes of Stalingrad may be the first game to support both anti-cheat systems.

 

Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad is the sequel to Ostfront 41-45, notorious for its realism, difficulty and deeply addictive team multiplayer. It’s expected on PC in August.

Staying alive in Red Orchestra 2 isn't meant to be easy. You can't cower behind cover and wait a few seconds to magically regenerate health after absorbing a few bullets. You can't run recklessly across open spaces and hope for anything other than a quick death. The guns have weight, the screen shakes often, and color drains from the screen as bullets whiz by, increasing your suppression meter. While playing Red Orchestra 2 it's impossible to break free from a sense of swirling chaos as you try and line up enemies for lethal shots.

I dont suppose there is a hope in hell of this making it over here.

 

I wanna try this but not sure of throwing down 40 USD on Steam for it. Hopefully there will be a demo.

steam pre-order is up. 2 versions of the game available, the regular at 40$ and the digital deluxe at 50$. pre-order discount of 10% for everyone which makes the prices 36$ and 45$ respectively. and everyone who owns red orchestra 1 on steam gets an additional 10% discount bringing the prices down to 32$ and 40$.

32$ is a tempting price. need to see if any other sites can get a better offer than that going.
