And it's finally a good one.

It's just a ruggedly handsome FPS with great audio. But at the same time it's the ruggedly handsome FPS. A shooting game where every bullet and bayonet is a dreadful construct to be feared, where every corner is treacherous and every noise demands your attention.

The battle for Stalingrad is less than two months away now. I'm as excited as I am nervous, and you should be too.

this is what I call a PREVIEW!

nothing new but it is well written and the game has been well understood.....

 

[Leopardi]

Much better than SI's "MW3 is ****ting on RO2 graphixx but theres a cover system."

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Yeah, nothing really new but a good and interesting Preview. I think it gets its message across

Beautifully written! Bravo to Eurogamer. This and the PC Gamer article from a while back are pristine examples of how to convey the feeling of a game in writing.

And: "heroes don't receive any boosts themselves, but buff players around them very slightly"

Assuming this is true and not a misinterpretation, I like this even better than any kind of personal hero boosts. Instead of saying "I'm a hero, hear me roar," this choice almost suggests that the less experienced novices are trying to impress the grizzled veteran next to them, or that he is whispering valuable, battle-tested advice to the recruits.

:IS2:

This was the kind of preview i was expecting but didnt get from every other place so far!
Very well written. These guys 'get' the game Awesome read.
It's good to see a journalist write about RO with the same kind of enthusiasm we have instead of passing it off as 'meh, it's graphics are not up to par with BF3'.

Much better than SI's "MW3 is ****ting on RO2 graphixx but theres a cover system."

to be honest i think mw3 and bf3 will **** all over ro2 graphics but that won't matter if the game is better. you also have to remember that it might not be as much as the writer thinks. (it has mods that alone will get people to buy the game.)

There was a slide show of pics, but I think nothing new. I just found the article too, and it's the best written one I've seen. I'll be sending links out to everyone I know... so 3 more people will hear about how awesome this game is...

Quintin is good people.

Don't if its telling for him or me, but read the first two paragraphs of the and thought, "this is Quinns".

He really does get into the idea of a game and respect it for it, no matter what it is, before making judgement. His diaries for PCG, Eurogamer and RPS are always a good read.
