On the Homepage of the german magazine Gamestar, there surfaced some info on Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. Some of you might know that I dearly loved RO back from whet it was the tiny little version 1.2 Beta as a mod of Unreal Tournament 2003, up to when it got released on retail.
*There will be a SP campaign for both russians and germans, and it will be beatable in coop. Coop is also available in a skirmish mode.
*You will be able to position troops with a simply user interface.
*Heroes: You can become an online hero. Only hero players have access to the bets and rarest weapons, plus they boost the moral troops on their own side while causing fear on the opposite side.
*All earned medals and perks will be available to check by players in game.
*There will be a first person cover system.
While it has some features that I do like, like the SP campaign from both the Russian and the German perspective, Coop play, and finally a First Person Cover System. (All caps on purpose, for more info, see the very first post on this blog.)
But other than that, It too much sounds like CoD4 for my tastes. I think it's especially worrying that there isn't a single word on how RO is more realistic than any other game out there. At least on infantry level.
Well, these news do put me in a great position though. RO2:HoS just became a very unlikely candidate to dissapoint me. Sadly, that's because my expectations plummeted.
