It's a near perfect "realism-lite" shooter, I may always gravitate towards games like combat mission or squad where realism is considered a main facet of gameplay or atleast they try to make it be. RS2 does some things those shooters don't, and maybe should. Overall it's one of the best multiplayer fps' made.

@@jameshickson8174 Hue City is awesome ngl, Hill 937 is definitely not the best map but the look is just awesome imo. Weapon selection is also great, I would like some pump action shotguns on the viet side but even the double barrel is good.

The game has a *ton* of really cool sim-lite features. * Unlike 99% of games where the iron sights are always perfectly aligned, your front and rear sights will jump around a lot under rapid fire so it's nearly impossible to keep the point of aim centered, it will naturally move around with recoil. This means the rifle zeroing is accurate and the battle-zero for AKs of 300m works perfectly. * The damage model includes the spine and the heart and other major organs. Spine/heart/headshots are instakills while major organ hits usually cause bleeding. * You automatically will rest your weapon against cover, no need to manually mount the gun. * Like in RO2, every map has an ambient temperature which affects how quickly the MGs heat up and cool off. * The grenades for each side work accurately: the North's potato-mashers start to cook the moment the string is pulled, the South's M61s only start to cook after the arming lever is released. By default, players only let go of it when throwing the grenade but you can manually release the spoon with the middle-mouse button. Most people don't know about this so you can get a lot of sneaky kills with M61s. * The RPG is somewhat realistic in that unlike in most games, the worst place to be when facing an RPG is on the other side of a wall, RPGs will do RPG things and kill through cover. * Weapon recoil is mildly affected by how much ammo is left in the gun; less rounds left, more recoil.

Drewski's Kronk impression is too on point. Had me thinking Kronk was in 'Nam for a sec.

Now do Red Orchestra 2, because if Rising Storm 2's playercounts are low then RO2 is basically extinct. Can't play it anymore if there's no other players!

don't forget the nuts

The thing I love with RS2 besides the gunplay is the fact that It's a team shooter game but both teams are so different yet it's still balanced! The South fighting armies got more modern & automatic weapons. They got air support that can be called in by the commander & helicopters (Cobra, little bird & troops transports) that can be flown by the team. They can also spawn directly on the squad leader. The North fighting armies got traps that they can place down, tunnels that work as spawn points & more sneaky commander support (an example is that the commanders can spawn all dead teammates on top of him, which is perfect to suddenly take a point or defend one that's about to be run over.). Sure this game ain't perfect but there's no other game like it, which is why I come back every now and then for a session of "Did that bush just talk?".

I've been playing this for months now, it really dawns on you how few people play this when you recognize the players name in the killfeed. Hope Drewski's vid can revive this game.

18:09 You missed him by several inches because the scope is mounted to the left, the actual barrel is just slightly on the right, you'll notice this the closer you are to the target. Those 2 shots would've connected if you use the irons.

Rs2 is probably one of my favorite multiplayer shooter games of all time. it’s immersion is absolutely sublime and i believe rs2 has the best mix of simulation/ realism and arcadey gun fights that never get old! really wish battlefield took inspiration. could have made something teally cool

24:16 "i hear grenades everywher- *explosion* cuts to an ad. " Perfection, truly perfection

Some of my most memorable gaming moments happened in this game, particularly when you're defending or attacking the last point and the defenders are hunkered down and holding every angle. So fun!

I was just thinking about playing this tonight, you read my mind drewski.

I had sooo much fun playing this game. It's still got a small community of active players, but usually you don't find more than 1 or 2 servers, at least in Europe. Best Vietnam shooter ever, though. The atmosphere is unmatched. I especially love it when your character starts talking during lulls in the fight. When you just sit there for a minute and your guy goes "I can't see anything! Charlie's gotta be out there somewhere" or "man, what I would do for a Joint right now". EDIT: exactly like this!! 6:42

Dude! This is one game you played I was sorry to see end! Highly entertaining, very realistic-looking! Being a fan of this genre since Battlefield: Vietnam, I found this to be fucking fantastic!!!

I love when Drew just starts throwing out the Kronk impression at 13:20. Totally random but entertaining

This is legit one of my favorite games. I found out about the game from the first video you made 7 years ago when it first came out. All these years I've been waiting for a follow up video and finally here it is😂😂😂

just really like the green men ones. needs a full blown game like that. used to play dedicated servers for unreal tournament 3 and that also had a bunch of maps that were pool table rooms and bathrooms/kitchens. was my favs and can't find anything else like it anymore.

Red Orchestra 2 was one of my favorite FPS games ever made. Rising Storm 2 brings all that same feel back, but with machine guns, which makes it even more terrifying

i loved the voice acting drewski it was so good especially the kronk voice

Been playing since it was free on Epic and missed the best times of this game I think. Great to see a video about it!

RS2V has to be one of the best FPS games ever made, mechanically. The gun stabilization mechanic where your recoil is reduced and more stable when it's mounted on cover, or the side of a tree is unparalleled. It's also the most perfect example of arcade-hardcore done right. It can be very immersive and tactical, and sometimes it can be just downright arcade fun, it really depends how you play it. I have never seen a game do it so well and I doubt there ever will be. It doesn't lean too far in either direction, and found a perfect middle ground.

My favorite FPS of all time, played thousant of hours on it. Striking Arty on enemy bunkers on the hill or chewing people in a cobra with a minigun. Such a grerat game, i wish they would make another one like this. Semi-realistic and funn!

I wish they would make a sequel to this. It's my favorite shooter. The M16 is the most accurate rifle at range outside of snipers, you just have to use the range setting and single-shot mode.

Man, the ambience and the looks of this game is always really appealing. The variety in guns; the environmental design and details...

Tripiwire's Rising Storm / Red Orchestra titles are goddam icnonic in terms of ease of play and depth of play. Always cycle back to the these girls every few months or so for some shooty-shooty action.

Damn. That Kronk impression though 😯 Pure fire... Like that Napalm 🔥

Such a fun game. Took me quite a while to understand the mechanics but it got more fun the more I played

RS2 has def been one of my favs for a bit now.. still play every now n then when the itch comes lol. Glad '83 is back in development

This game is just so perfect the realism is good but there is way more action than many other tactical shooters also i just love how deep the character customization is and running around like rambo or Mr T with an M60

Thanks drew, I love this game and play it when I can, and I think a KZreadr bringing a new wave of newbies to the game is great for such an old game, in fps age anyways.

RS2V is the reason why I got to fix helicopters in the Army. I remember when the game first came out seeing all the Huey pilots and thinking that I wanted to do that. I practiced and practiced and slowly fell in love with helicopters. To the point where I wanted to actually fly them. Which is what I told my recruiter and he got me a job fixing Chinooks. Now I have a love for flight sims, and own a joystick to which I am trying to get pedals and a collective.
