The game only adds multiplayer features to the RO2 universe, within the setting of the Pacific Campaign of World War 2.

Now Tripwire has added a fresh expansion, titled Rising Storm. If you read our review, don’t be fooled by the change in scoring since then– Heroes of Stalingrad was awarded a 4.5 out of 5 when I reviewed it. Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad was not only a fantastic game but was also PC Gamer’s 2011 Multiplayer Shooter of the Year.
