While in cover, players can peek out to take more accurate shots or fire blindly. The game's first-person cover system allows players to hide behind all objects in the world to avoid gunfire. When reloading a weapon, the character checks the weight of the new magazine and determines if it is heavy (full or close to full) or light (empty or close to empty). The game also takes away many of the elements of a traditional HUD, like an ammo counter, forcing players to remember, or manually check, the approximate number of rounds that are left in the gun's magazine.

Guns behave realistically, with bullet drop and spin taken into account. Red Orchestra 2 is a realistic first-person shooter. The game contains many new features, including a new first-person cover system combined with blind firing, first person collision detection, as well as an entirely new system of statistics tracking and player development. The developers have stated that the game is a Windows exclusive and have no plans to bring it to consoles. The title focuses heavily on the Battle of Stalingrad. It is a sequel to Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is a World War II-themed tactical first-person shooter video game developed and published by Tripwire Interactive.
