Steam RO2 and RS confusion

[Tea_and_Crumpets]

I realise this has been said before but it still isn't very clear.

Either Red Orchestra 2's steam store page should link to Rising Storm and state clearly that getting RS will also give you RO2 multiplayer or the two games should be combined (as they appear in the Steam Library). I know numerous people that have gone out to buy the game and find that they are lumbered with the rifleman class only for RS.

Personally I support the idea of combining them, that way confusion (and resulting frustration) should be significantly reduced.

(For example)

Fully support this. I'm a masochist and tend to float about the Steam group watching to see how people react to stuff, and the most common question is "Which version do I get?" alongside one of the most common complaints being "I got the game but I can only play rifleman on some maps, what gives?". That and just above the purchase button have a good explanation on what each product is.

If potential buyers have to find the time to research and constantly ask others which version to buy, somethings not labeled clearly enough.

I mean, most other games its simply "Hey, that's the one I want" and proceed to click purchase.

After having fielded a bunch of these questions recently myself, I think it may at this point be harmful to the brand to have RO2 sold separately from RS at all.

I guess a good example appeared here:

These questions seem to be asked at least 3 or so times a week, and because the Steam community is a mass of well informed, patient and frequently search for answers [/sarcasm] exactly the same question is asked over and over, and the same people end up having to act as a broken record.
This thread is also a good example of what Moskeeto has to put up with. I admit the Steam community is utterly vile, but having a united store front may cut this vileness down.

Yeah, I made a thread about this long ago: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=95627

I agree with Tea's suggestion. I feel the stores should just merge to make purchasing the game much less of a headache. At this point, I see no reason of selling RO2 as a seperate title. I also believe that RO2's campaign should be sold as a piece of DLC on RS's store page because there are always people complaining on the forums that they didn't get the SP when buying RS.
