Red Orchestra Sequel to Feature First FPS German Single-player Campaign

Related Topics – Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, PC

Developer Tripwire Interactive has now officially announced Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad, a sequel to the mod-turned-game Red Orchestra: Osfront 41-45.

Following in the footsteps of the original Red Orchestra, Heroes of Stalingrad will be a tactical FPS that emphasizes "accuracy and detail." As the title suggests, the sequel will focus on the Battle of Stalingrad and related confrontations.

The release also notes that the game will allow players to fight through a German single-player campaign, which Tripwire claims is an FPS first. Co-op and multiplayer modes will accompany the solo campaign.

No release date or platforms have been announced, but Tripwire promises more information in the coming weeks.

Congratulations to the german people. Finally there's someone with balls to break this taboo. Lots of honest germans died and sacrificed their souls for their families and nation.
Hoping that they get over the "holocaust" guilt as well.

I always wanted to know how Germans felt when they played Call of Duty games. Remember all of the things that the Us/British/Russian soldiers say about the damn Germans in those games. Do German people want to play as the German Army?

RO is probably one of the best Multiplayer FPS experiences I have ever had, and occasional the most frustrating. I loved the one shot kill realism. The tanks that actually required skill and tactics. Nothing I loved more that seeing someone try to bunny hop across a map and see them cut down time and time again. Oh, I also liked the limited amount of players for class. That way there were not 15 snipers per team.

Hey guys, I'm having a very hard time thinking of WWII FPS games that have a single-player German campaign. I know of plenty of RTS games, but not any FPS.

Is Red Orchestra really the first? It really took this long?

It can't be the first, I know there's gotta be some title SOMEWHERE that has a single-player WWII German campaign. Right? Maybe a mod? I'm kinda hoping I'm wrong but it amazes me that this has been "untapped" for so long. Maybe we'll actually get that WWI shooter someday too!

If anyone is going to do a singleplayer German WW2 campaign, I'm glad its tripwire. They'll do it in a way that should make it harder for the media to jump all over it, but I still expect to see something saying, "OMG you play as a nazi WTF!!!111"

I'm extremely interested in and excited for this game, RO:O was one of my favorites.
