Red Orchestra 2: Heroes Of Stalingrad - Games

Only $40 for the digital deluxe edition? I love you Tripwire. Also the TF2 hats look pretty good too. Closed beta access too? Oh yeah.

What teh fuck is wrong with you tripwire. You are so goddamn awesome. Deluxe version btw... Cause this company deserves ALL MY MONEY.

I love Tripwire :dance:

The pricing is $1 = 1€ I reckon but I bought it directly myself this time around since the game is still cheaper then other games that are being sold. Also just a tiny bit more expensive then retail and I get the deluxe edition.

[QUOTE=catbarf;31491155]Went to take a look at the pre-order and saw... weapon unlocks? What is this, Call of Duty? Someone please explain to me how the weapon system works, because if I have to grind for hours just to be able to spawn with an STG44 this game is a no-go for me.[/QUOTE] you have different classes such as rifleman, AT, engineer, crewman, sniper, etc. and some of those classes have the ability to be equipped with another weapon. For example, a rifleman could have an STG44 instead of a kar-98. it's not really game changing. the guy with the STG44 probably won't be a huge champ anyway unless it's close quarters combat, but then again it IS RO and you're a one hit kill anyway pretty much unless you're incredibly lucky. chances are, because the game uses persistent stats like Bad Company or Call of Duty, you have to level up to a certain degree in order to access it. I think it's pretty fair. it wasn't that fun in the original RO when every german had an STG44 in some maps and could gun down russians no problem in close quarters because all they had were mosin nagants. it probably won't ruin the game at all, i would imagine. you're not even going to be focused on what firearms you're equipped with -- if anything, you'll be looting bodies

New interview with FPSGuru: [url]http://www.fpsguru.com/game/286/features/99/Red-Orchestra-2-Heroes-of-Stalingrad-Developer-Interview.html[/url] Also fuck getting the box now, I'm going to get 2 copies of the digital deluxe (one for my brother) which is amazing, it looks like there won't be a collectors edition on release but when they do I'm going to go out and buy that as well. Can't wait for that closed beta which sounds like is coming up soon [QUOTE=catbarf;31491155]Went to take a look at the pre-order and saw... weapon unlocks? What is this, Call of Duty?

Other things you unlock are the drum mag for the PPSH-41 and as a German or Russian riflemen you can unlock the other teams bolt action. Every other weapon you will have automatically it's not like CoD or BF3 where you have to go unlock the majority of the weapons by shooting people.

Also, I don't think riflemen ever had the STG44? Didn't the assault class have that?

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;31491296]Exactly. Also, I don't think riflemen ever had the STG44? Didn't the assault class have that?[/QUOTE] i don't remember for sure. i usually always play russian.

[QUOTE=Private Zoglow;31491081]Finally! Digital Deluxe version preordered.:dance: Anyone got some info on the beta?[/QUOTE] Probably in a week or two it will start.

A rifleman isn't going to spawn with a MG, they only get their class weapons and they only unlock the other teams variant of their gun.

So many retards in this steam chat. "THEY BETTER MAKE THE OPEN BETA COST MONEY, I DIDNT PAY FOR THE DELUXE EDITION FOR THE STUPID ITEMS, I WANT ACCESS NOW".

[QUOTE=bobsynergy;31491341]Again, the STG44 is not in the game, but it's prototype the Mkb 42 is but im pretty sure a riflemen can not have a gun like that, the only other guns lets say Russian Rifleman can unlock and spawn with are the Kar98k, and the German Assault can spawn with the PPSH-41.

I didn't know that. I don't like that.

[QUOTE=GetBent;31491449]Wait, Germans can spawn with Russian guns and vice versa? I didn't know that. I don't like that.[/QUOTE]The Germans ditched their shitty MP-40s for the PPSH anyway. It's not like it's any different.

[QUOTE=GetBent;31491449]Wait, Germans can spawn with Russian guns and vice versa? I didn't know that. Don't like that.[/QUOTE] They have to unlock those by playing for a bit so don't worry too much, plus it is actually realistic, I'm pretty sure Germans picked up a lot of the PPSH-41s, both sides did capture each others weapons so Tripwire is giving that option to use those captured weapons which would make sense. I'm pretty sure it's only for the Assault class and the Rifleman class, not like a German can spawn with a DP-28 instead of a MG-34.

I'm going to be broke forever. Can't wait for this game.

[QUOTE=GetBent;31491449]Wait, Germans can spawn with Russian guns and vice versa? I didn't know that. I don't like that.[/QUOTE] Servers can pretty much customize everything and like the others explained. It is rather good if anything, and realistic. Especially considering the fact that the Russians were short on weapons and ammo to begin with.

I'm disappointed the soundtrack doesn't come with the digital deluxe edition, hopefully there will be a collectors edition out later that will have it, only thing stopping me from pre ordering this now is if they have a collectors edition on release I'll get that. But if they don't I'll pre order it, then buy a copy for my brother, then buy a collectors edition if released later.

I wanted to pre-purchase RO2 right now but I saw the deluxe edition. Is it worth it? Doesn't seem so. edit: Nah, I'll just get the normal edition. Couldn't care less for the TF2 and KF cosmetic stuff

Whens the Beta? I am thinking of pre-ordering deluxe edition right now, or soon.

[QUOTE=BenJammin';31491779]Whens the Beta? I am thinking of pre-ordering deluxe edition right now, or soon.[/QUOTE]Most likely it's next week. As it's the final phase of [B]closed[/B] beta testing. They still have yet to do open beta testing, and they have just begun their clan testing.

Gonna get this when I can. Hopefully in a couple weeks.

[QUOTE=peterson;31491843]Most likely it's next week. As it's the final phase of [B]closed[/B] beta testing. They still have yet to do open beta testing, and they have just begun their clan testing.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it's been said that it will only be closed and not open, but they will probably increase the keys they are going to give out. I doubt they will keep it at only 20,000 keys.

Fuck yes. 20% discount (so that digital deluxe is $40 instead of $60 or $70 like most games), two TF2 hats, two Killing Floor skins, two day one unlocks and two in-game badges? Best preorder deal.

Digital Deluxe version bought!

I'm considering to pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition with that sexy 20% discount... Yupp, probably will do that. - snip, too dumb for reading -

This game will be worth every one of my 4000 pennies.

I wonder when the final phase of the beta is. Any word on that from Tripwire yet?

[QUOTE=dfunk;31492969]I wonder when the final phase of the beta is. Any word on that from Tripwire yet?[/QUOTE] No idea. As long as it is before August 24th, when school starts again, I'll be fucking happy.

[QUOTE=dfunk;31492969]I wonder when the final phase of the beta is. Any word on that from Tripwire yet?[/QUOTE] They said they will be talking about it this week, so we will either get some more information, a release date for the beta or maybe even the beta being released (doubt that one though)
