IGN: "John Gibson, president of Tripwire Interactive, is here at Gamescom showing off a very early build of Heroes of Stalingrad, the sequel to Red Orchestra. The new game promises to add some exciting new modes and increase the realism of how weapons are handled. We walked through some of these new features in a meeting off the show floor."
Today I would like to show off the Baikal shotgun, which you saw in render form during my last communication in action.
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad takes place in and around the titular Russian city as Germany and Russia fight for control. The campaign is divided into two chapters, wherein players first take the side of the Germans for twelve missions, and then switch to the Russians for a further twelve. It may sound like a generous slice of single-player gameplay, but in truth it’s really just training for the multiplayer game modes.
Congratulations, you are inside a tank. Your very own Panzer IV or a T-34. Now you can drive through the ruins of Stalingrad and bring about the destruction of your enemies, main gun and machine guns blazing! You will run over enemy positions, forcing entire companies to flee from you, allowing your team to advance to victory, or hold back the Red/Fascist horde thanks to your indestructible steel plating and precise gun. Now, that we are done with this Fantasy, let us jump to the facts.
