The great news for players and fans is that many great maps have been created and are available right now for them to enjoy! Beyond that our goal has always been to incorporate the best maps into the stock game and that is what I would like to go into depth about today. What We Are Up To - Community Maps, Tripwire Ladder, and Rising StormĪs you have probably seen recently, we have wrapped up the second (and last) phase of our Counterattack Mapping Contest for Red Orchestra 2.

Some of them are AWESOME! You might be pleasantly surprised. I also suggest playing some of the custom maps now available for RO2. I'll post news about that here when it comes. Look back in this thread a few pages for pics. They have, I believe, 6 versions of the sdkfz251 planned as well as the UC. Troop transports are currently being made by the RO2 Community Vehicle Modding team with support from TWI. This should keep the community together and perhaps generate some sales for RS. The same would be true for RO2 owners who don't have RS. My understanding is that people who own RS but not RO2 will be able to play RO2 multiplayer with more limited options (only being able to pick rifleman perhaps.). There is a youtube video linked in one of the earlier pages of this thread that details I believe RS maps can seamlessly transition into RO2 maps online. The RS team has some interesting approaches to map balance for late war scenarios (that don't involve neutering the US guns).

What would really help this would be the ability to host configurable listen servers that you could set up with no Mkb42.Hopefully we'll see this soon. Remember that RS is inseparable from Red Orchestra which has always had a healthy number of bolts for us Says I with my level 50 The Mkb42 can be disabled server-side in RO2 (and I believe some servers do this). In any case, buddy on the left here certainly seems to be holding an M1903. It stands to reason that if they could make an early war map with the US using bolts, it would bring a welcome bit of variation in gameplay. I know that various RS team members have spoken at length about the difficulty in balancing USA vs Japan maps, especially late-war maps because of the asymmetry of the weaponry deployed by either side (US autos/semi autos vs Japan's bolts). The team is commited to historical accuracy so hopefully that will play out as we are all hoping.

Just got all this from promo stills and the gameplay trailer.
