Rising Storm 2
Vietnam
We loved the asymmetry of Rising Storm, the authenticity-focused WWII shooter we named
sequel. The Americans are loud and fast, skimming the treetops with helicopters, while the
Viet Cong spawn in squad tunnels, appearing behind capture points and ambushing LZs.
More than being a good shot, strictly
managed teamwork remains the key to success. Tyler tried his hand at both piloting
helicopters and manning their guns, and found it nigh on impossible to hit anything
without spotters and direction over comms.
The addition of modern, automatic weapons might be an even bigger shift for the
series than helicopters, though, as part of the Red Orchestra and Rising Storm
identity has been their demand for precision aiming with bolt-action and semi-auto
weapons. But the quest for authenticity hasn’t changed here.
Storm 2: Vietnam’s guns aren’t easy to handle by any means, and scoring kills still
sometimes means picking out specks on the horizon and taking cautious, well-
planned shots. Read more about Vietnam’s helicopters, guns, and new mode in
