Tokarev Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 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.” Keep in mind Red Orchestra is an acquired taste and will take some time to get used to with its steep learning curve. It's also better played with some buddies as teamwork is required (especially with tanks as positions are required, for example you need a driver, a commander and rarely you will see a machine gunner at all), but the community is pretty mature aswell.

Tokarev Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 I liked DoD: Source more. That "game" can rot for half delivering compared to its predecessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTV2 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 God, why do they have to do this in the Summer when everyones away. im not here in august and only have access to a Mac (can steam run on a mac?). DoD:S suck alot, the mp40 has a way too high fire rate, they tok away some weapons, the graphics look like **** (they look worse then CS:S), they look like toons to me. i hate the new sounds too. i just got Call of Duty 2 for mac like 3 days ago and i think its way better then DoD:S. i hope Red Ochestra is good, was thinking of gettting it.

Dagobahn Eagle Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I like advanced games that require you to think and work as a team of combined arms rather than run around as mad wolves, so I think Red Orchestra might be something for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lantzen Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 So, what do you think of it? Think it's hard and some map is a little big, but it's really funny. Of the map i have played i think Ambush is the best, could be that i was so darn good on it camping with my german machine gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
