Red Orchestra : Ostfront 41-45

[DocBot]

Well, preloading has begun...

check out the homepage... I must admit, I am interested.

 

[Gibsonfire]

Yeah Im also quite interested in this one. Except It costs £24.95 and is only a mod in the source engine

I think il wait a while and see what people say about it before I get it.

 

[DocBot]

... argh, stop! stop making assumptions! pleeeease.

it's a standalone game, based on the unreal engine 2.5

you can get it through steam however.

there's an FAQ in the forums, and also one on wikipedia.

It does cost money, though (for the record). When I read Doc's counter-post I thought he was refuting the need to pay. That's not the case, but it is still an Unreal-based product, just one of the increasing number of games that Steam will distribute regardless of any relationship to the Source engine.

Given the quality of the mod, this one might well be worth paying for. I've not played for a little while, but my memory of the sniper scope, for example, is as one of the best I've ever used in a FPS.

 

[DocBot]

yeah I do agree it might be a bit pricey... but that might be because I think of it as a mod and not a stand-alone game. I like realism, and as I said, I'm interested. good things: only iron sights / 3d scope, wyaiwys(where you aim is where you shoot) = no cone of fire, crew required to man tanks, no health / stamina bars, etc etc. I think I'll wait until it's gotten a bit of feedback, and then if it's good I'll prolly buy it. at least if there's anyone else on the boards who will, too

 

[Pubic_Warrior]

is it just the same RO that could be downloaded for UT2004, which was free i think

[Pubic_Warrior]

no need to stress but RO was a mod for UT so why is steam robbing it and then putting a price on

 

[DocBot]

same developers, made a retail game of it.

 

[Pubic_Warrior]

[Gibsonfire]
