It’s not to suggest there aren’t some cool things you can do as a grunt, either. Seeing a successful artillery strike wipe away a whole regiment (or being the one caught in the blast) is impressive in itself and actually requires teamwork, as only a Squad Leader can “spot” a target, while the lone Commander reserves the ability to call in the strike. If you stick with it, though, it’s the most satisfying experience you can have in a game like this. I’ll admit, the attention to detail was almost off-putting at first, and I can see some players being frustrated enough to pass.
Yet, beyond the gritty realism lies a game with a lot of heart and a ton of fun if you can handle the intensity. If a bullet doesn't get you, the mortars, artillery, mines and grenades will. Check your map and listen to your commander when he’s calling air strikes so you don’t get caught in your own bombing runs. Don’t sprint across open fields like an idiot. Spawning comes in reinforcement waves rather than individual timers, so learn to move as a unit. Getting too many team kills? Start shooting at faces instead of backs of heads. MG keeps overheating and under-performing? Swap the barrel. Not sure how much ammo is left in the clip? You have to eject it and look. If anything, it could be considered a WWII battle simulator. There are no decals over players’ heads, friend or foe, there’s no ammo counter, no on-screen aiming reticle, and you can easily die bleeding out from a single pistol shot if you don’t bandage up quick. Once you play on one of these hardcore maps, Call of Duty and Battlefield will seem like on-rails arcade shooters. While there is a more forgiving casual mode for this game, the most populated are the “realism” servers, and for good reason. In short: it’s an online FPS that focuses on realism and makes no apology for it.Ĭan't see them? Don't worry, you will learn. It’s a game where leadership can easily turn the tides of a match in more ways than a kill streak. Rewarding accuracy and patience over kill ratios. Weapons that jam, overheat and require maintenance. In a genre dominated by prestigious franchises blandly following their own trends, there exists a game which has dug in its roots and produced a first-person-shooter focusing on bullet drop off and perimeter fire. My 232 hours in-game stands as a tribute. This is a game about substance over cosmetic, and it delivers. There aren’t massive piles of motion-captured slow-motion animations or giant robots.
#Red orchestra 2 rising storm not showing Pc
Yeah, it’s PC exclusive, so it’ll never get the exposure of a cross-platform, broad demographic “AAA” title – but that’s already a selling point. While this is an older release strapped onto a title from 3 years ago with an already aging engine, I felt the need to write a review as it doesn’t get nearly enough praise or attention.
That's why you STOP LAGGING BEHIND AND GET TO THE OBJECTIVE, NOOB. Game review – Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2
