It's better to die surrounded by friends than all on your lonesome, so use the squad selection option before spawning to join a squad (unfortunately it's not visible if you force ant-aliasing via your graphic card's control panel). You've joined your first game, and you're wondering where to start.

It's a short tutorial that teaches you the complexities of the weapon firing, grenade throwing and movement system, and is your first step to becoming more than just another target on the battlefield. While RO2's singleplayer game isn't the most compelling experience (thankfully the multiplayer more than makes up for it), we highly recommend playing the very first mission before hitting the online warzone. With the help of the team behind the game we've put together this very quick Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad Combat Field Manual, to help ease those Day 1 blues (oh, and check out our review of this innovative shooter while you're at it!). Fear not though it's really not that difficult once you start using the same tactics as today's finest soldiers.

This grueling FPS is designed to accurately portray WWII combat, and we're pretty sure that the rocket jump wasn't part of standard Wermacht training. Play Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad like any other shooter and your rotting corpse will be propping up a makeshift bomb shelter before you can say Achtung baby.
