Stay tuned for the MyGaming review.<\/p>\n<p>Red Orchestra 2 gives players the opportunity to fight through both the German attacks into the Russian city of Stalingrad and the Red Army&#8217;s crushing reply in single player. Multiplayer is a core element to the game, supporting up to 64-players and a persistent soldier career with extensive statistics tracking.<\/p>\n<p>The game promises features such as 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.<\/p>\n<p>SA gamers will want to be playing on local servers for the best possible latency, and previously a number of <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/13728-Red-Orchestra-servers-Confirmed.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"local ISPs indicated they were stepping up to support the game\">local ISPs indicated they were stepping up to support the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, iGame, Web Africa (WAGE), and MWEB have followed through, confirming they have servers live for early adopters of the title.

On the real plus side, the game supports 64 player mode, so there is the possibility of epic, large scale battles.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Players should be aware that there is a known problem with the Master Server browser for Red Orchestra 2, whereby only a small percentage of servers are being shown in the in-game server browser.
