Their is still no absolute date for the beta. All we have now is "most likely next week." We'll let you know once an exact date is picked, or when it goes live.
They have been showing it off for a while. RO2 I think is going to be a surprise hit. A lot are not expecting it.
Graphics look dated for a PC release in 2011.
But I'm for it if it has a decent engine and accuracy. Lots of iron sights from video, not such a big fan of that...but i suppose its a period piece and unavoidable.
I think I left WWII behind with CoD2 and I'm not willing to go back just yet. I can't see it putting a dent into the BF3 and MW3 machine(s), but if I remember correctly, Red Orchestra has a fairly decent following.
Best of luck Tripwire, you probably would have had my moneys if not for releasing this game smack in the middle of an EA/Activision bitch fight. 2013 would be ideal for a decent PC FPS to really get a good foothold in the market. I'm afraid this will get overshadowed...hell, it already has.

@IAboMba The engine is a modified version of Unreal 3, so it plays out very smoothly. It might not have the high-crazy HD graphics of BF3, but most people won't be able to play BF3 with it actually looking that good. Everyone should be able to play RO2 on medium/high settings, and have it look great.
RO2 isn't really competing with BF3 or MW3. It's a very different type of game. Sure, it's a shooter, but it's much more of a sim than an arcade-style shoot-em-up.
People who are looking for a change of pace from MW and BF should definitely check out RO2.

@Joshua Derocher: That's a good point. Not everyone is ready for BF3's DX11, and COD has turned a lot of people off from the team-less, twitch, unrealistic shooters. This looks like a sleeper hit to me.
@IAboMbA Of course it's not going to put any real dent into BF3 and MW3 sales. It's probably not even going to attract too many players from those games unless there's an appealing sale.
RO is not easy to get into at first, but the depth of the game keeps it appealing for a long time. There's always room to improve your skill in the game because of the higher skill curve, so if you find that you enjoy the game, you'll only enjoy it more as time goes on and you master the weapons, vehicles and classes. Also, despite being WW2, the gameplay is unique enough to make it stand out and the Eastern Front isn't explored very much in FPS games. (They're usually all urban Stalingrad/Berlin levels)
Personally, I'm replacing Battlefield 3 with RO2 because of the crap EA is pulling on the PC version. (Yes, I expect BF3 fans to come defend the game with the EXACT same arguments CoD fans used to defend MW2's matchmaking) "You don't need this." "This is actually better than that, you just don't know it yet." Etc, etc.

@Riot I am right with you on the EA crap. I will probably get BF3 and play it a lot, but I think that RO2 will be a goto shooter for me over the next couple of years.
My mobo and CPU are a little dated, so I probably won't be able to play BF3 with it maxed out all the way on 1080p. RO2, runs great and it looks great on my machine.

@ RiotControl
I think this game will be a great hit. At first I was thinking BF3 was going to be great... (Not a fanboy or anything) I just thought it was going to be a good game. But now I totally agree with you... they are making it so complicated to enjoy the game... Its turning into a casual shooter which I never wanted. (Kill cam, CoD style gunplay, No community support)I think they just want money now instead of making a good game ):

This game is looking rather excellent, liking the pacing of it.
Can't wait for this, Tripwire make very fun and accessible games and this should be no different.
