TL DR (here are gameplay videos of RO 2)
Gametrailers videos (I would recommend watching from the bottom of the list to the top)
Buy this game. It's RO 1 but better and more user friendly. You or your friends won't ragequit after playing 10 minutes cause its too hard, like I've seen happen many times while playing RO 1
=========================
=========================
RO 1 has to be my favorite WW2 shooter. It has that slow paced semi-realism feel to it. It really stands out from other shooters.
Example of some of these features would be:
1 ) Changing machine gun barrels (prevent overheating)
2 ) Fixing bayonets!
3 ) Manually bolting rifles
4 ) Tanks aren't cookie cutter (Ex. Tanks in Battlefield have exactly the same stats for balancing and are just re-skinned. Tanks in RO are completely unique as they are in person.)
5 ) AT rockets and Tank rounds can be deflected or not penetrate (If you ever played World of Tanks its like that)
6 ) Maps ranging from infantry to combined infantry (mostly infantry supported by 1-2 tanks) to full-scale tank warfare
7 ) Mod support (they even got the mods downloadable through Steam. Darkest Hour is my favorite RO mod)
It did have some flaws:
1 ) Slow animations (going from Prone to Standing/Running was extremely long)
2 ) Lack of mantling over objects
3 ) Lack of any real teamplay features
4 ) Insane recoil (unrealistic)
5 ) Getting shot in the hands dropped your weapons (beyond annoying)
6 ) Clumsy melee system that got you killed more than getting you kills
7 ) Some of the vehicle maps were insanely huge
Things RO 2 has fixed (that I know of):
1 ) Sped up animations from Prone to Running (before you would never escape thrown grenades while in prone. now you stand a chance)
2 ) Added in mantling
3 ) They added some stuff, but I can't remember
4 ) Recoil is more realistic and not insane
5 ) No weapon drop when shot in hands
6 ) They are working on the melee system
7 ) There will be infantry, combined infantry and tank maps
=========================
=========================
Enough words on RO 1, let's move on to RO 2.
RO2 brings (100% PC Exclusive FPS):
1 ) Suppression system (not quite like Darkest Hour's version)
2 ) A lot of user friendly improvements over issues in RO 1 (watch the video links below)
3 ) Destruction
4 ) 1st person cover system
5 ) Bleeding wounds / also bandages (no reviving or healing)
6 ) Persistent stats tracking and Player progression
7 ) Clan Support
8 ) Up to 64 Players and Dedicated servers
9 ) Mod Support (3-4 mods already in development alongside the game: Rising Storm [WW2 Pacific Front], In Country: Vietnam [Vietnam War], Iron Europe: 1914-1916 [WW1], and any I'm forgetting)
10 ) Squad Command (Single-Player and possibly Co-Op)
11 ) WW2 weapons like never experienced before (breathing, bullet penetration, adjustable sights, mounting weapons [was in RO 1], using both ironsight and scope on a sniper rifle seamlessly, and etc)
12 ) Offline challenges and Online Achievements (A Steamworks game, of course its gonna have achievements)
13 ) Morale system
14 ) Operating tanks in 1st person only
15 ) A lot more..........
