The first is the array of new maps all based on real life Pacific Theatre battles like Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. There's a lot of new content to get stuck in to, though. For those who've already been pulled into the Eastern Front setting, then Rising Storm is essentially an evolution of the same concept. So that's Rising Storm (and therefore RO2) in a nutshell. It's tirelessly addictive, wonderfully exciting and frustrating (depending on how you're doing) and, for those who are interested, historically accurate to a beautiful degree. Once you get to grips with it all, though, this can be one of the best platforms to get your shooter fix. Rising Storm will teach you to scrap that logic as you learn the value of cover, suppression and teamwork. We've been conditioned as gamers to lunge into the fray careless of life and limb. For new players the pure ferocity of the game mechanics is very difficult to adjust to. This is about battle realism one hit kill, minimal or no HUD, extremely tactical realism. No super soldiers, no bullet sponges and certainly no Nazi zombies. Rising Storm offers a very different FPS to the more popular modern games like Call of Duty and Battlefield 3. Let's take a step back, however, and consider the fact that Rising Storm, with its somewhat 'on trend' setting, is likely to attract a lot of new players into the RO2 world.

The war torn streets of Russia have been replaced with the beaches of the South Pacific and all the madness that goes with it.

It's important to note that while the Steam page might suggest otherwise, this is more of an expansion to RO2 rather than a full game. Just like it's predecessor, Rising Storm is absolutely punishing, but because of this it's as close to real life combat as you'll find in any multiplayer shooter on the market. This was my predominating thought whilst playing the beta for upcoming WWII FPS Rising Storm, a Pacific Theatre standalone expansion for Red Orchestra 2 ( RO2).
