After a successful first week for the Red Orchestra 2 beta that included players helping to uncover several issues that were taken care of, Tripwire has announced that they are cycling in three more maps for players today: Grain Elevator, Red October Factory, and Barracks. Each map will have the Territory and Countdown game modes, plus the Barracks will also have Firefight mode.
Red Orchestra 2 Beta Week 1 Report - new maps incoming!
2 September 2011, Roswell, GA
RO2 Beta gets 3 extra maps!
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.
Anyone that pre-purchases the deluxe edition before the game launches will now get instant access to the beta, so head on over to the Steam store to get your copy and join the fight. And if you are one of those who bought the standard version of the game - you can now upgrade directly to the Deluxe version and get straight into the Beta!
The game will be available digitally and in store on 13 September 2011 around the world and is now available for pre-purchase. More information from the Steam store page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/35450/ and from the game website: http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com/
