Amazing World War 2 FPS

User Rating: 8 | Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad PC

So ive only been playing RO 2 for about 9 hours but let me tell you, every hour, nay every minute has been a blast. This game is probably the best fps ever set in world war 2 in the bloodiest battle of all time, Stalingrad.Look it up its true. This game is not like Call of Duty where killing is really the only way to win. Its all about teamwork, patience and skill. Weapons have realistic bullet drops but i found 200 meters was usually the best range to dial in your sights. The guns have realistic bullet penetration, depending on what one it is. For example LMGs usually punch through anything making them amazing offensive weapons. Rifles have fair penetration although concrete usually stops them. This game is incredibly realistic, especially on the realism mode that most of the community plays. Most weapons are a 1 shot kill weapon, depending on where you hit the enemy.Once hit its not long before you bleed out, unless you bandage the wound. However you only have 2 so avoid getting shot. I spent my first 3 hours of the game getting killed by enemies from unseen places. I had already played it before on the single player campaign, which you should avoid like black plague. this game is difficult for new comers, especially with the battlefield and cod run and gun mentality. Your gun doesn't matter in this game. Superior position does. if you can see the enemy you can kill them, usually quite easily. Cover is important and when under fire its best to go prone because its harder to be hit that way, especially when the terrain has dips and curves. This game is such a hidden gem, even though many people have hated on it. Ignore that and play it. When you win a match with good teamwork, either defending or attacking, no other game come close to the satisfaction of seeing your teams victory on the screen.
