Red Orchestra 2 Getting a Stats Reset and a Couple Double XP Weeks

Tripwire Interactive have recently put out a state of the game wherein they talk about the game�s successes and the game�s failures. Part of that was in stats and a recent patch. But they�re aiming to make it right with their faithful this weekend.

Due to the problems with stats and players either earning stats and achievements that they didn�t actually earn or earning stats at many times the intended rate, we are going to have to do a global reset of all stats for the game. This means all achievements, stats and player progression will be rolled back as if all players were new. This was not an easy decision for us to make, but one we felt we needed to do to preserve the integrity of the stats and ranking system, and to provide all of the players the best experience with the game over the long term.

Knowing that there are people that have been playing the game for a few weeks now and will lose the stats for that time we are going to provide a special bonus to all players. For the next few weeks all players will earn double experience in Red Orchestra 2. This means if a player plays the game during the double experience period they will quickly get their experience up to where they would have been had these issues never existed. Additionally, we are going to give those playing the game during the double experience period a special achievement called "In B4 Reset". Right now this is just an achievement, but we�re going to be looking at ways to give special rewards to the players that have this achievement in the future.

So it�s good to see that Tripwire is both taking responsibility but also trying to keep the game fun for everyone who has been playing it. While many of you might be upset about losing your hard earned XP and achievement, thinks of it this way: Now you can prove you actually did it and didn�t just get it all because of an error.
