The developers at Tripwire Interactive have announced that they are planning to reset the stats of all the players who are engaged with their Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad first person shooter as they are deploying a number of fixes for some of the biggest glitches that affected the game.

Ever since the game was launched during the early days of September players have complained that some gamers received stats boosts and achievements without actually winning them on the battlefield.

The game has also been affected by glitches and performance problems.

Since then the developers at Tripwire Interactive have launch a number of game updates.

All those who have played the game until now will get a special achievement, called “In B4 Reset”, which will certify their time spent playing the game even if their progress is wiped out.

The developers are saying that this achievement might bring in some bonuses in the near future and Red Orchestra 2 will also have double experience play for the next few weeks.

A statement from Tripwire Interactive says, “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.”

Despite the problems that affected Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad Tripwire Interactive says that it has managed to get more sales than the first game in the series during the first two weeks on sale.

It has been the biggest launch for Tripwire so far in their history, with three times the sales created by Killing Floor.

The developers have made it clear that they will be offering long term support for Red Orchestra 2.
