Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm gameplay footage brings the tropical sunshine lacking in Heroes of Stalingrad

If you weren't familiar with Red Orchestra, watched that footage, and still don't know what it's all about, Rising Storm is a standalone expansion to the multiplayer FPS Red Orchestra. Where other FPSs have moved to a more forgiving and fast-paced style of multiplayer shootery, Red Orchestra made its guns hurt lots, your kills weren't rewarded with kill streak bonuses, only the mutual respect of battle-hardened players, and death, well death was a frequent and painful companion.

Rising Storm seems to have captured something of the Pacific conflict's perpetual danger: grenade booby traps, suicide charges, and hidden bunkers, all look to make each step on the map one fraught with danger. If all comes together, the coveted 'Harder than Gobstopper' trophy may have already been secured.
