Through the opening Axis campaign you control Nazi soldiers as they vie for control of Stalingrad's rubble and occasionally take part in tutorial missions, then wrap up the action on the Allied side with very similar challenges. Set in and around the battle for Stalingrad during World War II, Red Orchestra 2's single-player campaign serves as a kind of extended training for the online game. When working properly, Tripwire's shooter is challenging and deeply satisfying. The emphasis on authenticity, from the way you're forced to use iron sights for aiming to how one bullet is often enough to kill, means you need to take extreme care during every second of online play if you want to score points and survive. It's tough to find a more intense, rewarding style of play than the full 64 player games of Red Orchestra 2's territorial control mode. As a multiplayer game, Red Orchestra 2 can be brilliant.
True to its roots as an Unreal Tournament mod, Tripwire's realistic take on the World War II first-person shooter is meant to be played with others. Don't bother with Red Orchestra 2 if you're looking for a single-player experience.
