Following the recent report that a "low violence" edition of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad might be in the works for Australia comes word from Tripwire Interactive that the uncut original version of their World War II first-person shooter sequel has been approved for sale down under with an MA15+ rating as Aussie gamers wait for their new R18+ rating to be instituted. Word is:

After some initial concerns about ratings in Australia, Tripwire Interactive are happy to announce that Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad has been rated MA15+ ["Strong war violence, Gaming experience may change online"] by the Australian Government Classification Board, with no cuts required. Nice job by Lace Mamba Global in the UK and AFA in Australia.

For all you Australians, the game is now available uncut to pre-purchase through Steam, Direct 2 Drive, Gamers' Gate, Green Man Gaming and all good retailers in Australia!
