Red Orchestra 2 Beta Week 1 Report - new maps incoming!

[[TW]Wilsonam]

Week 1 of the Beta has been a great success with tens of thousands of players getting their first taste of Red Orchestra 2. With the players' help we've been able to uncover and address several issues including a particularly nasty server browser issue which was duly fixed. After opening up the RO2 Beta with 3 maps (Fallen Fighters, Apartments and Gumrak), we are cycling in 3 more maps for everyone later today:

• Grain Elevator - the iconic battle site in the south of Stalingrad featuring long range infantry fighting outdoors and room to room close quarters combat inside
• Red October Factory - night-time fighting in the factory ruins on an epic scale with infantry and tanks fighting side by side
• Barracks - a mix of close-quarter and medium-range combat, sure to be a fan favorite

All 3 maps will have both Territory and Countdown game modes, while Barracks also has the Firefight mode.

Can week keep the current maps in rotation with the three new ones too?

 

[Malteserr]

Do the current maps get pulled out of the rotation? I wouldn't mind, personally. As a beta test we should focus on the next 3 maps without any distractions

 

[Pvt.pile]

Awesome I luv Grain Elevator!

 

[MeatEtr]

Great, looking forward to the new maps.

 

[xruiner89]

Any word on what bug fixes we're getting in the update and any performance improvements?

 

[JayTac]

I hope they don't pull fallen fighters from rotation

 

[badastle]

Yay for more maps to learn and test.

 

[Hells High]

Awesome, can't wait to try countdown on the new maps. Will the current ones be cycled out?

Time to chew grain and kick-***, and I'm all out of grain.

Cheers Alan

I will put my weight behind the question:

Do the current maps get rotated out, or will we keep those as well?

It seems weird to remove maps in an update, that said, for bug testing purposes it would make more sense to restrict people to the 3 maps that they want testing.

Awesome, looking foward for grain elevator and red october factory =]

 

[shaqism]

Thanks a lot for releasing some new content

 

[Kurtensen]

Great job TW! So far it's proven to be the best game I've played this year so far, despite all the (understandable) bugs.

WOHOOO!

 

[Zearox]

Thanks! Keep up the great work.

 

[Jorg Biermann1]

Do we get to keep the other three also? So we have a total of six maps? I just would love some more variety

Nice! Can't wait
