At least in COD, you start out with perks and decent guns in RO2, you were just literally worse than a rank 99 hero player. The grind in RO2 actively detracted from the playing experience, as you were at a flat-out disadvantage until you ground the multitude of levels to even be on equal footing to experienced players, regardless of how good you were at the game. Unlike with most other games, purchasing and playing either Rising Storm or Red Orchestra 2 will drop cards from this set. There are 10 cards in the series, and youll receive 5 cards at random for purchasing and playing the game. The appeal of RO2 and RS2 is not the grind, but the raw gameplay itself. Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 Multiplayer had Steam trading card support added on 16 July 2013. The act of gaining new equipment, always ascending towards something, provides a constant stream of dopamine, similar to grinding for better stats in RPGs. Now, as for Battlefields and CODs, the appeal of those games is the grind, hence why you have so many different types of awards, medals, point bonuses, etc. It made for incredibly frustrating gameplay for any new players. Experienced players not only had a de-facto advantage against new players by virtue of knowing the maps and having more practice in handling their weapons, but they could literally do everything better than new players: run faster, run longer, recover stamina more quickly, resist suppression, carry more ammo, have less sway, less recoil, faster reloads, faster ROF(for the bolt-actions), larger magazines/belts, access to scopes and weapons that new players didn't have. Unlocking/having some more equipment variations would also be nice like the option of having smoke or grenades as radio men as smokes arent so useful defending.Įither way love the game - just would like to keep seeing it grow and improve. Sa-7 or having HEAT and anti personal rocket layout variations on the rpg would also be cool. Tbh id even be happy if after say 50 kills with a weapon you got some foliage taped to the barrel for camouflage or scope variants on snipers or other simple variations. scoped SKS and SOCON styled m4 variant, or the Mac11, or some of the solder modifications like taped mags. I did think it would be cool if there was some sniper variations to unlock, e.g. Id like to see this come back in - obviously without things being too imba or bringing in pay to win or silly cosmetics. Even unlocking weapons that just cosmetically looked more prestine and less crappy was cool.

Nothing was cooler than when you finally got the STG44 or the full auto variation of the pistol. So this is pretty much the one big thing i miss from rising storm and red orchestra 2 is that there was these sort of grindy weapon levels and weapon variants that kept me playing and kept the game fresh.
