“One of the things we learned from the fans after the release was that many of them thought the game was too hardcore, not hardcore enough, or just not enough like the original game,” Tripwire President John Gibson says in the video above. Most developers absorb an array of contradictory feedback after a game launches, and observing that strange soup of commingled praise and hatred while you decide how to react to it isn’t something I envy about game development.

Red Orchestra 2‘s GOTY Edition Free Content Pack represents Tripwire’s response to player feedback, and it seems like a truly comprehensive update to a game we already love. To kick off the roll-out of the update later this week, Red Orchestra 2 will also be free to play on Steam this weekend, beginning on Thursday.

What’s in the update?
Mamayev Kurgan, a new multiplayer map lined with bunkers and trenches
“‘Action’ mode – Featuring a crosshair, easier aiming and toned down recoil, reduced damage and open access to a wide range of weaponry Action mode is the perfect first step for players into the world of Red Orchestra.”
“‘Classic’ mode blends the gameplay innovations of the new game with the tactical and edgy gameplay of the original giving the fans of the first game exactly what they want.”
Vehicle improvements, including a toning-down of AI tank accuracy
Machineguns are now “easier to use,” according to Tripwire
Performance improvements, including revamp of dynamic shadows, changes to UI rendering, map optimizations, and more
Optional client-side hit detection
Refinement of spawn-on-squad leader, spawn protection, overtime, and Lockdown

Red Orchestra 2 will be free to play on Steam beginning at 10 AM PST on Thursday, May 24 until Sunday, May 27

What are the symptoms of your mouse, please? I am wondering if my Lachesis is dying.

It will all of a sudden stop sensing entirely in the y axis, and being extremely jittery in the x axis. That cheap ass PTE sensor.

It works pretty consistently though, hopefully the problem doesn't get worse.

I'm looking at either the zowie evo or the minoix right now, maybe logitech as well.

The ignored axis is a symptom of all of the 4,000 D.P.I./C.P.I. Lachesis; there is one or more video on YouTube about it.

That Zowie looks promising, and it is made as two sizes.

My Lachesis will sometimes stop moving for a short amount of time, but I am not sure if that is entirely the mouse's fault.
