Red Orchestra Free - From Dec 7th -> Dec 10th

[Lazaroo]

Didn't see a thread about this already, so I figured I'd post it.

Here's the press release:

Free Demo Period on Steam!

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Free Full-Game Trial via Steam (Aug 2 through Aug 7)

Roswell, GA, July 25, 2006: Tripwire Interactive is pleased to announce a free full-game trial for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. From Wednesday August 2 through Monday August 7, players can download and play the full multiplayer game via Steam.

The free trial will come on the heels of Red Orchestra’s soon to be released Free Booster Pack. The original game features 13 maps, 28 weapons and 14 crewable vehicles. Just 4 months after release, the Free Booster Pack and previous updates add a large number of new features including:

* A full new map, Lyes Krovy, a brutal close-quarters fight for a German trench-and-bunker position in a forest in northern Russia in the summer of 1944. Soviet forces attack a strongly-fortified position, while the Germans fight hard to hold them off. Lyes Krovy has rapidly become a favourite with the Tripwire test team!
* A new weapon system - smoke grenades. On select maps, infantry commanders will now have smoke instead of explosive grenades, which can be used to create quick cover for assault routes, or to momentarily blind the defenders. We're finding that clever use of smoke can change tactical stalemates at a stroke!
* Two new weapons - the German MP41 sub-machine gun and the Soviet M44 rifle.
* Numerous other changes to the tank armour penetration systems; the tank reloading system and changes to the victory conditions to prevent stalemates.

Now you can see for yourself why Wargamer says “Red Orchestra: Ostfront is a marvellous game: a work of art, and a work of love. In some aspects it is the most demanding but also the most rewarding shooter ever produced.”

I recommend everyone here try this out, espeically since were all here because we love realism.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'm on holiday. Like, .

I so want to try this game so bad.

WTF, had to do it the day I start holiday and end the day I get back!

[[R-CON]MrD]

I'm away half the time as well!

however, to clear things up, the game is a standalone on steam and if you buy it $25/£15 you do not need UT2004 to play it since it isn't using that engine, it was originally aimed as a mod for UT2004 but is using an earlier engine now.
