You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam''''' is a 2017 [[Multiplayer video game|multiplayer]] [[Tactical shooter|tactical]] [[first-person shooter]] video game developed by Antimatter Games and [[Tripwire Interactive]] and co-published by Tripwire Interactive and [[Iceberg Interactive]].<ref>''[http://invisioncommunity.co.uk/2017/02/23/iceberg-interactive-tripwire-interactive-extend-co-operation-rising-storm-2-vietnam-pc/ Iceberg Interactive and Tripwire Interactive extend co-operation for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam (PC)]'' February 23, 2017</ref> It is a direct sequel to 2013's ''[[Rising Storm (video game)|Rising Storm]]'' and is set during the [[Vietnam War]].<ref>''[https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/06/17/rising-storm-2-release-date Crouch-Run Through The Jungle: Rising Storm 2 Vietnam]'' June 17, 2015</ref> The game was released worldwide for [[Microsoft Windows]] through [[Digital distribution|digital distribution platform]] [[Steam (service)|Steam]] on May 30, 2017.

==Gameplay==
Like its predecessors in the series, ''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam'' is a tactical first-person shooter that emphasizes large-scale teamwork with realistic mechanics and combat. The game is set in the period of the [[Vietnam War]], and many of the locations are based on historic battles. Players can make use of era-specific weapons, including automatic and semi-automatic rifles, artillery, flamethrowers, and machine guns. 

''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam''(('))s multiplayer pits up to 64 players against one another from either the South or the North in the Vietnam War conflict. Each faction features unique Roles and abilities, making the game asymmetrical. Players can choose between the [[Viet Cong|National Liberation Front]] (NLF/VC) and the [[People's Army of Vietnam|North Vietnamese Army]] (PAVN/NVA), against the [[United States Army]], the [[United States Marine Corps]], the [[Australian Army]], and the [[Army of the Republic of Vietnam]] (ARVN).<ref>''[http://www.risingstorm2.com/ Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Website]'' March 24, 2017</ref>

For the first time in the franchise, players are able to take control of airborne vehicles, including attack, reconnaissance, and transport helicopters. Weapon and character customization also mark their debuts, including weapon and munition varieties as well as head, upper and lower body and skin customization. 

===Multiplayer modes===
The game launched with eight maps and three modes; Territories, Supremacy, and Skirmish.
*'''Territories''': One of the standard two-round game modes in the series. In order to win, the attacking team must capture all of the objectives on the map before the round ends. The defenders win a round if they can hold on to their besieged objectives long enough to break the assault and successfully enter lockdown. Additionally, one or both teams can enter sudden death if their reinforcement tickets have been depleted which disables [[Spawning (video gaming)|respawning]]. The last team standing wins. A team can win the game by tie breaker if they have more reinforcement tickets remaining at the end of the two-round match.
*'''Supremacy''': A new mode featured in the franchise. Teams capture objectives across the map, earning points based on the number of objectives they hold. A team wins the game if they achieve a greater score. Sudden death and tie breaker are also applied.
*'''Skirmish''': A different take on Supremacy with up to five rounds and featuring smaller maps for official eight versus eight player teams. Players must seize all objectives on the map and deplete the enemy's spawn tickets within the timer. Taking over an objective will replenish spawns.
*'''Campaign''': Returning from ''Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad'' and ''Rising Storm'', Campaign has both teams battle each other through Territories matches to gain territory on a map of [[South Vietnam]] over an 11-year period. In order to secure victory, the winning team must either acquire and hold all territories or hold a greater number of victory points by the end of the campaign. Defeat in the campaign can result from mismanaging and depleting the team's combat power.
