You won't use the cover system that much, but it's still useful time to time. But being hidden behind some wood fences can still protect you a little, if you have no other choice. When you are using the cover system (Press one key next to a wall, or whatever, and your character will "hug" it) you will see a little icon on your HUD which will tell you how good is your cover (If it can be pierced easily, you will see a Red shield, if it's a hard to pierce cover, it's a green shield) Sandbags and brickwalls are probably the best. You can also change the distance calibration to help you aim better instead of just shooting higher, you only have to guess the distance of what you are shooting at (You will get used to it) Shooting with a MG-34 into a brick wall at 90° at 50 meters is sure to pierce, but don't try with a MP40, it's useless. It depend on the weapon, the material, the distance, and the angle. Guns can also pierce through stuff, like walls. Correct me if i'm wrong) and it's even more impressive when using a sniper. The Ironsight is also the ironsight of the 3D model, not some 2D texture on your screen (Tripwire was one of the first to do that back then, i think. You also have to take bullet drop and travel in consideration when shooting. When you shoot, you have a loud sound, kickback, and the weapons are fully animated. The guns feels right, it's one strong characteristic of Tripwire, when you shoot you don't feel like shooting BBguns (*Cough* *Cough*. Though, there is still some nice sh*t there. The game is Realism sided (Even if it's not a full simulation) so don't expect to take half a magazine in the chest before dieing (*Cough* *Cough* CoD *Cough*) with a maximum of 64 players, and tanks are included in the package with a nice ribbons on top.Īs the sub-title suggest, the maps are mostly based on the (Real) areas of the battles of Stalingrad (Or around it) and the same years too (1942-43) so don't expect to see the best equipment deployed in the end of the WW2. No over-done and way too heroically represented Americans there only Germans and Russians. Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (Ro2:HoS, or just Ro2) is a WW2 game made by Tripwire (Red Orchestra: OstFront 41-45 and Killing Floor) which set the battles on the East Front. There is less bugs in a Ants colony to be honest. Maybe the game i was the most excited about of the last 4 games i bought (From Dust, Space Marine, Dead Island) and i'm not that disappointed about the game.
