Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad Release Date/Price Announced!

Not sure how there wasn't anything on this topic yet, at least from what I saw/searched.

Red Orchestra 2: Heroes Of Stalingrad will be release the 30th of August at the price of $40.

So very psyched about this. This is a giant middle finger to the companies out there releasing games at a raised priced with less and less control to the customer. 40 Dollars gets you dedicated, modifiable, server support - edit kits, weapons, game types, gameplay elements etc. ESSENTIAL for a competitive community. Mod support. Lan Support. Client-side customizability support ie. UI. Demo recording function, perfect for tournaments. None of these things should be listed as plusses, but sadly this day and age, they are. They've become a rarity and it's despicable. A big up to Tripwire on their release and cheap price! This will most certainly pack a punch!

angry that it realeases right after school starts for me and i hope there is a cd version so i dont have to spend even more of my bandwidth limit to download it, but i am glad it finally has a release date. Havent played the first one, but im really looking forward to a battlefield type of game that is a good mix between arcade and sim. Arma2 was too hardcore for me :P

yep, just wish my school would give me more bandwidth so i can play this and battlefield 3 online more often... but with the small limit we get, i'd be lucky to play an hour of each online along with watching hulu and stuff :(

Posted it yesterday, but it can't hurt to raise the awareness of this game ;)

They'd be wise to release a demo for this :( biggest_loser

WHY? I mean if it was a $60 USD game or $100 AUD game then yeah A demo would be nice after all the hyped games being lackluster (DNF). But its $40 no matter where you live, plus its PC explusive with all the features OP stated, you would be silly to pass this up if you are an FPS fan.

Excellent, excellent. I love me some Red Orchestra and the sequel looks fantastic.

This game has reached my holy trinity of video games. IL-2, ArmA (Formerly Operation Flashpoint), and Red Orchestra. My best gaming experiences of my entire life have been captured in these games. In Red Orchestra there are moments where I literally feel like I am playing a scripted single-player campaign experience.. but the magic of it all, is that it's not. It's just too damn good.. and I'm so damn excited!

:D *falls out of chair*

Nice. Upon hearing good things from a beta (hopefully) or reviews, I will get this as well.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

This really makes me want to buy the first Red Orchestra.

Wow...that's amazing, I want to see more of it soon.

I'll probably buy it during the Steam summer sale. I will be surprised if it isn't part of that. And if it isn't, it's only $9.99.

I can't believe I haven't gotten this game yet. Tripwire is an awesome studio. I'll pick that up sometime this week. I need a multiplayer shooter to hold me off until Battlefield 3. Now I have one to hold me off until the one that'll hold me off until BF.

Also, don't know how many of you have heard about this, but Tripwire is working with the community to make a Pacific campaign conversion for RO2, Rising Storm.

I can't wait to see what more great maps, mods, and content the RO community shoves out for this new game. The first RO was crammed full of it and was just awesome. Even with enough server-side modification a server could feel like a stand-alone mod.

Wow. Sounds amazing. I really need to play the first RO. Hope it's up early in the Summer sale(which is looking to start up sometime today since the midweek sale, which usually ends on a Friday, is ending today at 12PM EST according to the page for the midweek games.)

You might want to have a look atIron Front: Liberation 1944. It's an Eastern Front game made using the Arma II engine and it's looking pretty damned awesome.

If this was a normal time I would totally buy it for $9.99. But I need to save up for a new PC so the more I save on games the better.

truthfully the game requires you to forget everything you know about first person shooters.
