Karelian Front is Continuation War modification for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad.
Karelian Front is Continuation War modification for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. Continuation War was fought in 1941-1944 between Finland and Soviet Union. You can read more about the war from our History section. Team behind mod has varying experience from the modding scene. Some working in the gaming industry, some have done mods before in RO and for other games, and some are totally green. Good mix of people, eager to stop the long lasting outcry for this mod. Founding members are Finnish but we are taking in application from others too.
Why did we choose Continuation War over maybe a better known Winter War? So it wouldn't be just 24/7 winter maps and to have more variation in the battles. This leaves us more options to choose from. This front saw also fair share of guerilla tactics so there's room to develope something new, perhaps. Welcome to the fields of Karelian Isthmus, forests of Ladoga and swamps of East Karelia!
Some of the promised features:
(Notice, this isn't full list of everything - just some to arouse appetite)
Legendary Finnish weapons such as "Suomi" M/31 Submachine gun and M/27 "Pystykorva" bolt-action rifle
AT-weaponary including Molotov cocktails and panzerfausts & panzershrecks
You won't be seeing automatic weapons in this front as much as you may have seen in RO2
Variety of maps in infantry and comibed arms
No heroes, no levels, no unlocks
Authentic voices - meaning Finnish: "vittusaatanaperkele" and Russian: "руки вверх финский солдат" etc.
