Description from IGDB IGDB
Storyline IGDB
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 is a realistic first-person shooter. Guns behave realistically, with bullet drop and spin taken into account. The game also takes away many of the elements of a traditional HUD, like an ammo counter, forcing players to remember, or manually check, the approximate number of rounds that are left in the gun's magazine. Additionally, the game employs a realistic mode of reload management. When reloading a weapon, the character checks the weight of the new magazine and determines if it is heavy (full or close to full) or light (empty or close to empty). The game's first-person cover system allows players to hide behind objects to avoid enemy fire. While in cover, players can peek out to take more accurate shots or fire blindly. However, the shape, size, and composition of the object changes its effectiveness at protecting the player. Smaller objects may not cover the player's entire body, and some may not stop bullets. Health does not regenerate over time or by use of medical equipment, but non-fatal wounds must still be bandaged to prevent further blood loss. The player gains "Kill Points" and "Honor Points" which level up their weapons and the Honor level of each class, which is akin to the class level. The higher the character's Honor, the more rugged their outfit will be, and the weapons receive new features upon levelling up, such as a bayonet for the bolt-action rifles, or a drum magazine for the soviet submachine guns. The game features a limited number of slots for each of its various classes for the Soviet army, Wehrmacht army, Imperial Japanese and the US Marine Corps. Each class is based on a historical role of the respective army in that time frame. Tanks do not appear in Rising Storm. The classes available in Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 are: Commander, who can use radio emplacements to call in artillery or recon planes. Squad Leader, who can give artillery co-ordinates to the Commander, and teammates can spawn on the SL, allowing them to reach the frontline faster. Sniper, whose rifle is equipped with a scope, letting them engage at longer ranges. Rifleman, who can only use a bolt-action rifle, with the exception of the American forces, who can have a semi-automatic M1 Garand. Elite Rifleman, Red Orchestra 2 only, elite riflemen can use a semi-automatic rifle. Automatic Rifleman, exclusive to the American forces, who uses an M1918 BAR. Assault, who can use a submachine gun, not available to American forces. Engineer, who is equipped with satchel charges which can destroy enemy barricades, bunkers or tanks. Machine gunner, whose machine gun must be deployed in order to be effective. Anti-tank, who uses an anti-tank rifle, which can destroy enemy tanks, but must be deployed in order to fire. Tank Commander, who can give orders to his other crewmen. Tank crewman: As the loader will always be a bot, the rest of the tank crew will consist of the driver, main gunner, and hull gunner, who will operate the tank's main gun, and machine gun. Flamethrower, US only, equipped with a Flamethrower, which can burn through enemy defenses with ease. Light Mortar, Japanese only, equipped with a Type 89 grenade discharger (aka the 'knee mortar'), which can be fired either like a traditional mortar, or used in direct fire. Players who level up their classes enough will change in appearance to very closely resemble the level 1 look of the enemy team in color and uniform. Leveling up weapons means the player will gain up to two additional upgrades to their weapon, which vary between weapons, and some changes are purely cosmetic, such as the removal of the rear sights on the Karabiner 98k. Leveling up weapons also causes the player to get steadier aim, less recoil, and faster reloads. Class and weapon level also reduces the level at which the player loses stamina, and becomes suppressed. Every team has a number of squads making up a 64 player team. Every team starts out with around 400-600 tickets (to simulate reinforcing a battalion) called reinforcements, with each game lasting around 30 minutes to 2 hours. In Territory Control (TE) maps, players have to attack the control points of a defending team which are usually large landmarks and other large zones of capture players must enter. The team with the most people in a capture point will start capturing the point for their team, unless they are killed while trying to attack or defend it. Players may choose to respawn on a number of spawn points or at a particular role in the squad (machine gunner or squad leader) as the role they select, and respawn in waves that spend the team's reinforcement tickets. The team to wipe out the opposing side with no reinforcements left or by completing all of the objectives indicated on the Map screen wins (capturing and destroying objectives). There are tanks, APCs, artillery and recon planes in Red Orchestra 2. The interiors of each tank are fully recreated with either a human or AI manning each station. The level of detail was described by Tripwire's president John Gibson as "rivaling or exceeding tank simulation games." Because of the extensive work required to recreate each vehicle, which Tripwire estimates took three months each, the game launched with two tanks: the German Panzer IV Ausf. G and Soviet T-34/76. In April 2014, the Game of the Year addition was released with the Search and Destroy game mode, new maps and two armoured personnel carriers were added into the game: a Sd.Kfz. 251, used by the Germans, and a British Universal Carrier with a mounted DP-27 machine gun used by the Soviets. These additions gave infantry more protection and a quick alternative for moving around the battlefield. Two more tanks, the German Panzer III Ausf. M and the Soviet T-70 along with the MG42 German machine gun were added in the free Armored Assault DLC.
