The mine from which potential voice lines could be written is deep. Imagine getting drafted, leaving a fiance or children behind, and then dying on a hill in Vietnam? Or being 2 weeks short and dying? These were realities that this game fails to capture. The VC lost over 1 million soldiers, and some 2 million civilians died. I'm willing to bet that every soldier knew a sad story or had loved ones that died in bombings, or possibly starvation. I'd also like to hear an Apocalypse-Now homage of a dying VC yelling out, "**** you GI! **** YOU!"
For a series that prides itself on realism and immersion, somebody really made a bad decision. Were they doing their best to emulate Top Brass in 'Nam? Making **** decisions? Get it together! Fire this person, they are not consistent with the series' culture, and possibly the studio's culture.
Instead, the voice lines, and acting, is in fact, the worst the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm series has ever seen, and they are not even good by modern AAA standards. I think many fans of the series are genuinely disappointed by this in RS2, as we have come to expect cringe-worthy, eye-opening death moans that provide the slightest glimpse of what listening to death may have sounded like.
In a sense this pays tribute to those who have fallen in such a way that can't be captured simply by reading their name on a wall; putting players inside the heads of Vietnam soldiers by expressing their ideologies helps people living now understand the war in a different kind of way. I can't be the only player who was taken in by the series by this type of realism.
In RO2 when I heard a man take over a minute to die I could not stop saying "Oh my god," and I was hooked. Tripwire had a game on the market that no one else had -- the best immersion. I'm so sad that RS2 has missed the mark. Is this what we are to expect for the series now?
See Rising Storm 1 voice lines:
The difference is massive when it comes to immersion. It feels real, it feels genuine. Tripwire, I implore you, go back to your roots.

Can you fire whoever chose to NOT have immersive death moans and voice acting?
