Red Orchestra on Steam
New standalone titles are appearing on the Steam platform faster than Dawn French gobbles chocolate oranges, and here's the latest: Red Orchestra.

Subtitled 'Ostfront 41-45', the new game will see Russian and German forces will scrap it out over the broken bones of the Eastern Front with 28 weapons and 14 authentic and armoured vehicles. The original Red Orchestra for UT2004 won the million-dollar prize in Epic and nVidia's Make Something Unreal mod contest. But the version coming to Steam isn't just a rehash - it's a full game with all-new features.
Quote:
"Digital content delivery is the future of gaming, and we are very excited to be a part of that future," said Tripwire Interactive President John Gibson. "Working with Valve to release the game over Steam allows Tripwire to remain independent and keep control of the games content and development. This allows Tripwire to continue to offer our fans the same uncompromising level of realism, authenticity, and gameplay they have come to expect from Red Orchestra while continuing to innovate and push the boundaries of the military FPS and simulation genres."





This, along with the recent news that Darwinia will be appearing on Steam, seems to suggest that Valve is eager to promote non-Source games on the platform. It may be that in the future Steam becomes a service for all games.

More information at the Red Orchestra website.

Meh, was kinda hoping Steam would be kinda like an indie label, putting out all the new and "different" games out there, Ragdoll Kung Fu, Darwinia etc.

Heard alot of good stuff about RO though.

This will kick ass. Maybe the first game I'll buy over Steam.

Well then, you're in luck!

It amazes me that this is UE2.5. It's not quite Source-quality but is far more than I'd ever expect from what is an ageing tech.

Because they've not done anything at all with an engine license and budget, of course.

It's not the same game...try reading the press release.

You can still play RO 3.3 for free.

So do it. But you will be playing a dead mod with maybe couple dozen people playing at any given time, at most. It never got a big following to begin with. This will give it a lot more exposure and hopefully generate a larger fanbase.
