Preview: Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm

Hardcore shooter franchise Red Orchestra has its roots in the modding community, so it's no wonder the folks at Roswell, Georgia-based Tripwire Interactive wanted to do something special for modders with Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. The result is Rising Storm, a total conversion of RO2 set in the Pacific theater of WWII that stands as a first-of-its kind collaboration between a mod team and a professional game development studio.

We had the chance to speak with Tripwire Vice President Alan Wilson and Rising Storm Producer Tony Gillham about the mod, and they broke down how the project came together and the challenges they faced (and continue to face) in creating the forthcoming RO2 total conversion. We also gathered all of the details they were ready to share about Rising Storm, including the debut trailer. Get the scoop below.

Be an E3 Correspondent

On our recent contest post ( http://n4g.com/user/blogpos...
) it was suggested that in a future contest N4G send someone to E3. We're not doing that this year, but Video Game Voters Network is!

If you think you're good on camera, can talk passionately about games, and know how to interview people then they want you to create a two-minute audition video telling them why they should send as their insider correspondent to E3 2011.

They will be accepting video entries until midnight on April 25th.

Not sure you're up for entering but you know someone that would be great? You can peer pressure them: http://videogamevoters.org/...
