If you want to play with bots then yes the singleplayer will cater to that and tie a very loose plot around it, but I’m from the age when having bots was part of the multiplayer so I’m labelling this as a multiplayer only game with some mildly misleading marketing. They shove you into a multiplayer mode with a group of AI controlled teammates and enemies and leave you to scream at them glitching into a fence for thirty odd minutes. It’s singleplayer the way Brink was singleplayer.
STOP! Do not read the back of the box or the stats on Steam because I know it says that its got single player as well, but it is the most half arsed attempt that I’m not going to allow it. The first, and for me the most glaring, point to make is that this is a multiplayer game. The problem is that from there on out the overall experience slowly gets whittled down piece by piece of small, yet notable, annoyances and glitches. Not to mention that the attention to level design must have been painstaking because every brick, house, bush and piece of artillery look absolutely stunning for the Unreal 3 Engine. The gun sounds are magnificent, and I truly mean they are some of the best I’ve ever heard, bar none, and the atmosphere the game creates really does get the adrenaline pumping when you want to be able to push that extra couple of metres into enemy territory for your country and the proud men who stand alongside you. I will kick things off with a congratulatory pat on the back to Red Orchestra 2 because it is definitely one of the most realistic World War II first person shooters I’ve ever experienced. This may change the game entirely and rise it to the air and out of perdition! Or not… Therefore, Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad could very easily be victimised for grabbing for the low hanging fruit, but wait! It’s also a PC exclusive WWI first person shooter. I’m also bold enough to state that we all agree that first person shooters are a genre of video game that tend to be developed often. World War II has always been a rather popular subject matter for video games, I think we can all agree on that.
