r/EasyRed2

Hi, recently got the game and am enjoying it. I am however noticing that on some guns, especially bolt action rifles, they seem to quiver or tremor when aiming. This is different from gun sway. Has anybody else noticed this or know of a fix?

Recently bought the game and have been playing on realistic difficulty settings. It’s been great but it feels like the medic class is in an odd spot where there are maybe 1-5 incapacitations per map.

I’ve tried changing the global difficulty settings to normal and moving the sliders back up to realistic in the hope that it might make AI bullets less lethal to other AI. Effectively, I’m grasping at straws to make medic a bit more interesting.

Any advice or insight into the mechanics under the hood of the game engine would be really useful!

I m just asking because I want to lowk buy the game but confused about how to gameplay work

Me and my fiance were thinking of getting it on his switch 2 that way me and him can crossplay together, but if it doesn't run well we don't want to bother. From what I've read online, the PS4/PS4 Slim/PS4 Pro and the Xbox One/Xbox Series S versions of the game don't run very well, and the Switch 2 is in-between the PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S power-wise, but as I understand it the Switch 2 has better optimization for its games with it's DLSS.

Anyway, all that aside, do any of y'all have any experience with Easy Red 2 on the Switch 2?

Played this game for nearly 2 years now and suddenly after the latest update I can longer go into third person or access my squad to swap between them while alive. Am I missing something or is this happening to others? Saw on the reviews on the Xbox store only one other person mentioned the same issue on the 17th (which is when I noticed it too) but not seen anything else.

Do you find the most SMGs borderline unusable? Now obviously they are in the open maps and sections of the map, but even at the close range, I find it even easier to deal with enemies with bolt-action rifles. Even point blank. They feel insanely underpowered with randomized recoil.

Loving the game, however the only thing that has really bothered me is the sound design.

Tank guns sound boring, not punchy and muffled, their tracks all sound the same and the engine sounds are also quite lacking.
Explosions literally all sound the same.
Soldier voices are also lacking and the Soviets in particular are awful. One of their Ura charges literally sounds like the voice actor is bored. I've compared the soldier voices to Red Orchestra 2, a game from nearly 15 years ago, and the soldiers sound so much more alive.
Gun sounds are fine for the most part.

Seriously, this game could be so much better if the sound design was improved.

I'm a millennial who was raised on the WW2 shooters of the post-Saving Private Ryan-era and I just now found out about this amazing game. It plays like a game from that era, in fact if you had asked me at 14 to describe the perfect WW2 game it would probably have been similar to this.

Absolutely blown away by this game and sad I'm late to the party, but with so many games nowadays it can be hard to find some of the indie gems. Just glad I finally did!
