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

[ButlerN]

We-we so excited, we so excited

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.

Screenshots for you on the front page!

Awesome news, unfortunately I have a concussion and won't be able to play for a while

I bet when other game developers grow up, they want to be just like the TWI guys.

I'd imagine the same kind of time the last patch was out. Not sure where you live but it was around 2am here in the UK and we're in GMT+1

Red October Factory makes my panzers tail tuck. Lots of nooks and crannies for pesky AT soldiers

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

good idea, you will see everyone wanna play only the 3 new maps anyways..because they are new!

 

[jalex3]

Yay! I think I look forward to grain elevator most.
