Update: To clarify a point that wasn’t clear initially, the RO2 beta is only available to those who have pre-ordered the “Digital Deluxe” edition. Basically, you need to shell out an additional $10 if you want to play the beta. While I am a card-carrying member of the Tripwire fanboy club, I am most certainly not a fan of these pre-order shenanigans. Turns out I will not be checking out the beta over the weekend.
The Red Orchestra 2 multiplayer beta is now live on Steam for those who have pre-ordered the [digital deluxe edition of the] game. I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but am hoping to have some time for it over the upcoming long weekend. A reminder that if you pre-order now you’ll also get 10% off, which bumps to 20% if you owned the first RO.
Check out Red Orchestra 2 on Steam.
Here’s some bonus in game video from a slightly earlier beta build:

I have been involved in both computers and video games since a very young age, cutting my teeth (literally) on an Apple IIe and an Intellivision. I've been writing about both for fun, off and on throughout the years, which eventually led me here -- still playing games and casually writing about them off an on.
