In giornata è previsto il tanto atteso aggiornamento di Red Orchestra 2 che tra le varie cose introdurrà una nuova mappa (MamayevKurgan) e due nuove modalità di gioco (Action e Classic).
La modalità Classic mira a riconquistare i fanatici del primo Red Orchestra, che erano rimasi delusi dai cambiamenti apportati a Red Orchestra.
La modalità Action strizza l'occhio al giocatore più casual, ed è sulla carta il modo migliore per avvicinarsi al gioco senza essere travolti dalla sua ripida curva di apprendimento.

Inoltre da oggi al 27 maggio sarà attivo il free-weekend su Steam, dove sarà possibile scaricare e giocare gratuitamente a Red Orchestra 2.

Il server GoV è stato riaperto e settato alla modalità Action, l'indirizzo è sempre quello:
ro2.wantedgov.it:7707

per ora pare ci siano solo i nostri

ro2.wantedgov.it:7707 52 slot, realism, tutte le mappe e modalità
ro2.wantedgov.it:7717 52 slot, standard, tutte le mappe e modalità
ro2.wantedgov.it:7727 32 slot, tank only

Mi auguro che questo gioco prenda piede anche in Italia, di certo faremo la nostra parte per diffonderlo e supportarlo.

Se conoscete altri server italiani, segnalatemeli

We have to announce that the release date for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is shifting back two weeks to September 13, 2011. While we understand the fans are clamoring to get their hands on the game, we felt we needed the extra two weeks to get it right and add the extra polish the game (and the players) deserve.

We knew people would be unhappy about the delay – and we agonized over whether we should do it or not. Someone has already drawn the parallel on the forums: our earlier games have only really hit a real volume of users after launch. We know it is bad timing, after starting the pre-purchase last week. But the response brought home that the pre-purchase beta phase isn’t going to have 100s of people in it, with a few servers – it is going to have potentially 10s of 1000s of people in it. Which is obviously great news. But it IS a Beta (it isn’t some “marketing/PR Beta” with the game finished 2 months ago) – and the large volume of people WILL throw up odd and weird little bugs that only come to light in bulk testing. Code and QA want the chance to fix that stuff before we actually release the finished product.

So people understand, internally no dates are being pushed back. Everything will still be finished to the same dates as for the original release date. What we are doing is buying ourselves 2 extra weeks of QA and bug-fix time.
We haven’t released dates of the next phases of the Beta testing, but they aren’t far away. We already have the first of the press in the Beta, with a “preview” phase for the press scheduled to run over the next couple of weeks or so. After that, we’ll be ready for the final phase of the beta, with the pre-purchasers getting their hands on the game.

We haven’t taken this decision lightly: moving a release date late in the day is a nightmare. We’ve done it because we feel it will make a difference to the product on launch day – for the better, obviously. Moving a schedule that involves a large (for us) marketing budget, physical production and distribution to the retailers across the glove, as well as disappointing the fans who have waited a long time for this game, isn’t easy. But in this case, we feel it will be worth the pain.
