Red Orchestra 2

So I already pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition and the beta should be coming out around the 30th. This game is looking amazing so far, been following it for some time and it has really blown away my expectations.

It has 64 player support with fully modeled tanks with crew positions that can only look out the viewing windows. The guns act and aim realisticly with bullet penetration and a cover system that allows blind fire. It also has a suppresion system similar to battlefield 3. It is also similar to battlefield 2 in that there is a commander who can access a radio station to call in artillary, support, and issue orders to squad leaders. It has 3 voice channels to communicate with your team. There is an honor system to progress ranks and unlock items, your character gains more wear and tear to show that you are a veteran. Servers can set what ranks are allowed to join.

This is going to be an excellant tactical shooter, and tripwire has shown they care about the community and will continue to support the release as they have done with killing floor. The game also has full mod support and they have already given the sdk out to some mod teams.

Here are some good videos that show some gameplay.

Pretty excited for this. Looks like it's going to be a blast!

It's sad BF3 won't be having a lot of these features but Red Orchestra will be a much more hardcore game in spite of that. I'll get both but I'm looking forward to getting into a game like this, with it's apparently awesome community, early on.

Two TF2 hats if I get the deluxe edition??? I'm sold!

But I do want this game, just not sure when I'll be getting it. I loved the first RO so I'm sure I'll like this one as well.

I just bought the deluxe and played beta. It was really fun, but I'm awful at it.

Fuck 20% off if you own the first one. I have the first one but it's on a VAC-banned account :(

Oops, forgot the details. I would compare it to DoD, as in the gameplay is a lot like DoD except Red Orchestra looks much better and feels more polished than DoD.
