Too bad my comprehension of the German language isn't up to that level. Hard to follow even in Google Translate.

What was in the articles that was trying to guilt trip TWI or Germans?
They're basically saying it's questionable to associate heroism with the German invader.

LoL wut?

As for games where we might be torn down and, "Red Orchestra 2" very high on the list. This starts with the name that is as bold as questionable. On the one hand, the impartial player wishes for a year and day, the Germans would serve in a Second World War shooter not only stubborn as a historical form of storm troopers from "Star Wars". On the other hand, it is difficult to do with the concept of "heroism" when it comes to the German conquest. Not to mention the fact that the word "Stalingrad" is more likely to associate the bargain with the miserable croak in snow and ice.

Google Translate at its finest!

We would hope that is to recommend "Red Orchestra 2 at the end not only the hardcore fans but also for the interested beginner who is brought gently to the hard reality. So beautiful and different the game also feels perfectly balanced, the sense of body movement, the speed of rotation and the latency between the click of the mouse and the firing of the weapon, as it offers "Modern Warfare" & Co. would do the title well . Yes, only throw tomatoes and eggs, "Red Orchestra" fans. Not everything, what do the nasty commercial shooter is evil from scratch. Not much, but not everything.
i think the author is reading in our forums :p

I think the most important info is that these previews saying that the publisher of the game, sets the release date for August in Uk and Australia! On the other hand I just will belive release dates from TWI Officials!
What I like in these previews is that you can notice even this small german Gamesites and Mags are really excited to see the game! One of them say he allready played the game, but that can

...es wird eine respektvolle Darstellung beider Seiten geben. Man kann davon ausgehen, dass Steven Spielberg wohl keinen „Day One Buy“ von „Red Orchestra 2“ plant.
...it will be a respectful image of both parties(the german and russian side in the Single Player Campaign). It is assumed that, Steven Spielberg isn't planning a "Day One Buy" of "Red Orchestra 2".


That was funny :D Reading the first article makes me cry inside that we don't have a release date yet :(


The second article is also well written specially the historic description of the stalingrad battle. I'am surprised about our german press ^^

They're basically saying it's questionable to associate heroism with the German invader.

My general encounter with nearly everything that has to deal with media or anything public that the Germans put up has to be dealt with some kind of political agenda. It's like they're deathly afraid of themselves. Probably false, but it's just an observation.

Hahaha, if TWI made HOS anymore realistic, you'd die slowly from disease or freezing and the Germans would have the option to eat horses, dogs, and other humans to survive. Have fun. :D

Translation of http://www.krawall.de/web/preview/id,55807/s article

Translation of http://www.krawall.de/web/preview/id,55807/s article

Okay guys, not busy at work so I translated the article. This is not a word to word translation. I took some creativity when translating sentence by sentence. German can be very wordy sometimes and as we are, our language as well is very precise sometimes which makes it almost impossible to translate 100% correctly. So please don't kill me for going the easier way once in a while. All translation is done to keep the sense/meaning of the words.
Here we go:


In Stalingrad the clothes are getting dirty


Regarding games that are really getting us excited “Red Orchestra 2” is standing pretty much on top of the list. It already starts with the name which is chosen bravely as much as questionable. On the one hand, the (politically) neutral player wishes that the Germans are not always taking the role of the storm troopers role as in “Star wars”. On the other hand, words like “heroism” are difficult to accept when it comes to the German occupying campaigns (of ww2). And at last, the word “Stalingrad” is commonly associated with dirty dying in ice and snow.


Nomination for an Oscar


In this paragraph we have made more scenery and ethical thoughts than the game developers. For these, Stalingrad is a map and somebody is a hero who helps his team for achieving victory throughout good teamplay. This at least is the impression which the former mod-developer Tripwire Interactive is giving when presenting the game. If you ask them if the dying and the pain is playing a role (in the game), they will answer that the soldiers are getting dirty and frozen after time the higher the player’s status is brought. When being asked how they will handle this in the singleplayer campaign when playing the Wehrmacht side, they are looking like sheep and promise to present both sides (RUS & GER) in a respectful manner. You can assume that Steven Spielberg is not planning a “day one buy” of Red Orchestra 2.


The developers are paying high attention to a realistic gameplay feeling. A good example is the use of tanks.


Players that are expecting Red Orchestra 2 to break with a “Popcorn war” shown in big US-productions are going into the bunker to cry. (-

Sorry that the text looks ugly. I copied the article in word and translated there as it's easier. No clue why it shows some mess inbetween with fontsize or whatever that sh** is. I am playing RO, that means I am an expert in the game. The computer and certainly the not gaming related programs are useless as I see it.:cool:
