On the side of the Allies you play as the Americans. The Flamethrower can have a surprisingly long range so use solid cover to protect yourself from a fiery death. While you might be used to highly similar “Classes” in Red Orchestra 2, Rising Storm has a few surprises up its sleeve. In this Guide we will focus on the Infantry Classes, as there are no tanks to speak of.

A few weapons are different, and a bit of fluff was added here and there but if you played Red Orchestra then you know, more or less, what to expect from this title. As you might expect, a lot of the mechanics from Red Orchestra 2 are present in Rising Storm.

It was created by Tripwire Interactive, the same Developer who made Red Orchestra 1 and 2. In case you are not familiar with Rising Storm, it’s a game set in the Pacific Theater during World War 2. While Rising Storm is still in Beta (at the time of finishing this Guide it was fully released) I decided to take the opportunity and write about the different classes and weapons present in Rising Storm.
