To be more specific however, Red Orchestra 2 is missing many of the ‘traditional’ elements of similar games that makes it initially difficult and rather frustrating to play. There is no counter that tells you how much ammunition you have left, and being in a tank simply means you are simply riding shotgun in a moving metal coffin if you aren’t smart about it. One bullet will kill you, enemies are hiding in wait everywhere and running right into the middle of a firefight will more often than not get you and your squad wiped out. Where as most shooters such as the Call of Duty and Halo series tend to be thrilling, orchestrated battlefields where you take on the role of one hero, involving hordes of enemies, guns and regenerating health, Red Orchestra 2 takes the opposite approach.

Based in Roswell, GA, Tripwire Interactive released Red Orchestra 2 as a sequel to Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. While one might argue that the setting has lessened in popularity in the past few years, Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is an entirely different sort of video game than one would expect from the first-person shooter genre and from World War 2. TV shows, novels, movies and video games have had a tendency to create a sense of grandeur and horror, often attempting to recreate the grand battles, artillery explosions and relentless fighting that occurred on the battlefield. World War II holds a peculiar place in history, being both a time of great brutality and heroism that makes it an incredibly rich historical period to tell stories in.
