Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad is a World War II-themed tactical first-person shooter video game developed by Tripwire Interactive. It is a sequel to Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45. The title focuses heavily on the Battle of Stalingrad. In comparison to most other games of its genre it tries to create a more realistic atmosphere the most prominent example would be that almost every hit is an instant kill. And if not, the wound has to be bandaged to avoid bleeding to death. The weapons react more realistically and have no crosshair. Additionally there is no in-game indication besides the uniforms which player is on which side and there is no announcement of kills. All this creates the need to progress carefully at a slower pace.
