Red Orchestra: Heroes Of Stalingrad

[Calneon]

This is from the guys who made the original Red Orchestra (a realistic WW2 team based FPS on the Unreal engine), and also Killing Floor. They've been making a sequel to RO, and here are some videos from GamesCom showing off the new game. Currently set for release in Q2 2011.

It looks like the new game also has a singleplayer campaign, whereas the first was solely multiplayer. First thing I noticed from the videos is how great the game looks. I think it's being built on the Unreal engine. Take a look:

Didn't like the first RO that much during the free weekends that they ran a couple years back, but I am very into the WW2 era for FPS's, so will deffo be checking this one out. From what I can remember, RO1 was a little to complicated at the start to make it fun, and just sorta left it by the wayside - hopefully something they can fix for this one.

Singleplayer mode also sounds win.

I'm not much into FPS I still like CS...

Apparantly it's like a stupidly realistic WWII shooter, so, anyone who knows me will know that i love it.

I read in PCGamer about the guy getting the gun shot out of his hands, and him grovelling around trying to find it ended up with him getting buckshotted in the back of the head.

Good times xD

Or stomach shots, which mean you're going to die and there is nothing you can do about it... but still have to wait until it happens. Depressing good times!

[Isphera]

Falling in love by the second with this.

[Target]

looks very cod2 :S

[Vicious Horizon]

<3 will be getting.

[Calneon]

More videos. Can't wait for this, probably going to be the biggest multiplayer shooter after BF3 for me.

Looks great, may make up for the PvP that ArmA lacked

I don't think it's anything like ArmA. It's more realistic than CoD or BF but nothing on Arma's scale.

[Vicious Horizon]

Oh really?

I just got the impression from a review of RO1 in PC Gamer that it was horiffically realistic, I've not played it though so I can't really comment.

It's realistic, but it's still deathmatch style games on small (relative to Arma) maps.

[Vicious Horizon]

Ah, fair enough, still, definately a game I'll consider getting, just way too many awesome games coming out this and next year :(

[Calneon]

Just bought pre-bought the digital deluxe version of this off Steam for £24, because it gives you access to a closed beta that will hopefully start before i43.

[Isphera]

I'm deffo joining you on this one, will pre-order when I get back from work and golf.

[Target]

hhmm, dont like the look of that leveling system increasing stats, like health, weapon unlocks is fine but movement speed and stuff is abit meh. Also the supression thing looks a bit annoying I dont think it should proc till at least 3 bullets have come close to you. But i like the ww2 stuff and the tank control look awesome, apart from above looks like a pretty awesome game, will have to give it a go.
