copy/paste from press release:

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

Roswell, GA, July 26, 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 favorite 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 armor 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 recently saw comments suggesting that DoD's two weekend's of free gameplay were indication that the game was not worth its purchase price. Is this RO trial indication of the same?

**Magnum50** · 07-26-2006, 11:04 AM

I think it's a great game, (when played with TG, public servers SUCK IMO)

I just don't have the time to play it... to many others I'm more into.

a week free, try it and see.

**Wyzcrak** · 07-26-2006, 11:18 AM

Yeah, I guess "TG folks required" doesn't bode well for a game's overall health in today's market.

**Strag** · 07-26-2006, 11:36 AM

Thanks for posting this, Magnum. Happy trails to you.

**Trooper** · 07-26-2006, 11:44 AM

damn it i have to got to work in a couple hours and i now have that song stuck in my head.......

I would reinstall this game if we could get some games going. But this game isnt anything like BF2 so im not sure how it we can even try to play it

TychoCelchuuu · 07-26-2006, 02:05 PM

I don't see how being different from BF2 disqualifies a game from being played. In fact, almost every game ever made isn't anything like Battlefield 2, but Tactical Gamer still plays plenty of those. I have tons of fun with RO, TG or no TG, not only because the game is so good but because a lot of pub players are more teamplay oriented than with your average game.

**Trooper** · 07-26-2006, 02:16 PM

I was being sarcastic

Obi · 07-26-2006, 04:59 PM

Aw man, I'm away on holiday that whole week.

Heh, sorry. That's pretty astute though; so many people here were complaining about RO features that were different than BF2 that I thought they just wanted the same game again

I've been playing RO since the first mod beta 2 years ago. It has come a long way and I still love it. I'm really enjoying the tank map Orel. With a good tank crew, long range tank battles are a blast. Tripwire is doing a good job with the patches and responding to player requests. I was really hoping a lot of TG players would play RO. It's a great game with teamwork, which is out there on some servers but can be hard to find sometimes.
