YMMV / Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

• Awesome Music: Now has its own page.
• Complacent Gaming Syndrome: Attempted to be an Averted Trope for territory mode, as there are restrictive limits on each class, with the exception of the unglamorous rifleman class having a limit that is equal to an entire team. This was carried over from the original, where most classes had a limit of one or two units at a time, but rifleman had no limit at all.
• Contested Sequel: The concessions toward new players, constrained setting, messy launch, balancing complaints, and various other issues caused a divide between those satisfied with the game and those feeling it missed what made the original so great.
• Memetic Mutation: "PTSD Simulator" as a Fan Nickname for this game and Rising Storm.
• Vindicated by History: While initially less well-received by fans and critics for its lackluster content in comparison to its predecessor, as time went on, Tripwire released additional maps, weapons, and content that eventually helped in Growing the Beard. It came to a head when Rising Storm was released, and this game was seen as an excellent companion to the better-received expansion. Nowadays, with Battlefield Vs tainted preview and controversy surrounding its historical revisionism, many of that game's fans are looking back to this game for a more authentic World War II experience.
