Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad has new release dates: Tuesday, 13 September 2011 via digital download portals, and Friday 16 September 2011 for physical retail stores. The game is an approximate 7GB download for those going the digital route.
Tripwire Interactive, developer and publisher of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, delayed the launch of the game by a few weeks with the following explanation: “While we understand the fans are clamouring 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.”
Red Orchestra 2 promises “unique and innovative gameplay” including first person cover, first person tank warfare, all new multiplayer gametypes including the multiplayer campaign mode, and weaponry systems with features such as full ballistics and suppression of enemies. Red Orchestra 2 also gives players the opportunity to fight through both the German attacks into the Russian city of Stalingrad and the Red Army’s crushing reply in single player.

Key Features
• Red Orchestra multiplayer taken to new heights: The brutal, gritty Red Orchestra gameplay has been enhanced, expanded and made more accessible. Gameplay modes as instantly recognizable as Firefight (Tripwire’s take on Team Death Match), single-life gaming redefined in Countdown mode – and the Territory mode already beloved by the hundreds of thousands of Red Orchestra players worldwide.
