Hell yeah.

I can't wait for this game. Just watching videos gives you the feeling that this game is taking all the lost innovation in FPS games from the last 4-5 years and cramming it into one awesome package.

yep.....driving me nuts waiting
my RO clan just picked up a dedicated server in anticipation

Is there a release date? Someone enable my laziness, please.

I haven't heard a definite release date, only Q1 2011. I'm itching with anticipation. I always thought Red Orchestra + Unreal 3 engine would be a match made in heaven.

I remember trying RO1 a few times and not really liking it. The graphics were just a bit too dated for me, and I remember not knowing how to drive a vehicle around. I guess if I stuck with it I would have learned, but I only had a day left on the trial. That preview and the trailers I've seen definitely piqued my interest though. Hopefully there will be a demo out on release.

Yikes. I always admired Ostfront but sucked at it so I kept it at a distance. This looks extraordinary.

 

[BladeVenom]

Definitely one to keep on the radar.

Info on this game is few and far between. Publisher is being lambasted in their own forums by their fans for this.
So here it is refreshing to see them answer some questions: Tripwire’s Vice President Talks Up Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad
