No fancy tessellation on show here, textures are flat with any standout features such as bricks scattered on the floor and building detail actually modelled.Īs you would expect, guns stand out with some good authentic model and texture work applied, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the plastic character models.

GRAPHICS: Visuals are good without reaching the heights of spectacular. Voice work is also pretty good, the German and Russian voiceovers which accompany the single player campaign seems authentic enough, whilst the shouts of comrades barking out their status and the screams of anguish on the field of battle send a chill down your spine. Red Orchestra 2’s gunfire is perhaps the closest thing to a gun range I have found so far. Gunfire is probably the most rewarding sound, slap a pair of 7.1 headphones on and you will recoil at the blast of each shot fired. It is perhaps refreshing to see both sides of the story but interest wanes after the first couple of chapters. Interestingly enough you get to play as a Nazi soldier which is not something you get to do in most historic shooters. Story comes mainly in the form of brief cinematics which are used to connect the dots before and after each encounter. STORY: In a game where multiplayer is the focus, story gets a little left behind.
