I’ve been playing Red Orchestra 2 for the past few days, and every time I boot it up, I get a strange feeling. Like I’m playing through the ghosts of video games past. Which, considering the game takes place on a virtual representation of a battlefield where nearly one million men lost their lives, is eerily appropriate.
There’s long been a complaint that, aside from a select few strategy titles, gamers are never given the chance to play as the Germans in a Second World War game. For better or worse.
We’ve quietly been fans of Tripwire’s Red Orchestra mods/games for years now. But three years on from the release of Ostfront 41-45, the game is showing its age. Time, then, for a sequel!
