Red Orchestra MODs - Now On Steam
Red Orchestra MODs will be the first third party game MODs to be made available through Steam. And just to celebrate, Tripwire is reducing the price 75% to $4.99 until Monday 20th October.

Roswell, GA, October 17th, 2008 - Tripwire Interactive is pleased to announce that select MODs created for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 are now available free of charge directly through Steam to all owners of the popular World War II themed online action title.

The first MOD released, Mare Nostrum, allows players to experience some of the fiercest battles of WWII across North Africa and Italy. The MOD adds three new nationalities to the game including the British, Australians and Italians as well as adding the German Afrika Korps. Featuring 8 new maps, 8 new weapons and 10 vehicles the game play is varied from gritty street to street fighting in urban surroundings to all out tank warfare in the open desert.

To celebrate all this - and to further encourage everyone to try the game and the mods - Tripwire is dropping the price of Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 for the weekend to just $4.99. The mods will appear in your Steam Games list and will now be automatically updated just like any other game released through Steam.

Red Orchestra is available via Steam and at retail outlets worldwide. For more information about Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 and Steam, please visit www.steamgames.com.

hopefully this will get more people playing this great game and mare nostrum...
 
Coolness. I liked RO but the lack of new maps early on kinda blew it for me. Might give it a second look!
 
Mare Nostrum is simply amazing, if you have RO, give the mod a try :)
 
Red Orchestra comes with 2 guest passes. I can't remember if they last 1 week or two, but they give people more time than Valve does with their guest passes.
 
A little update, Mare Nostrum is simply amazing, and it is nowhere near finished yet. I am in love with the vickers tank for the commonwealth forces as it simply destroys infantry (and spectacularily fails vs other tanks) I love tank combat, but light tank combat is way more fast paced and exciting, much faster tanks, faster reloads, thinner armor meaning more danger to you and your crewmates. I suggest anyone who has RO give this mod a try.
 
I downloaded it from Steam 4 days ago for $4.99. Good Price and good game.

Peace!
 
I bought it months ago when it was the same price, but only started playing it a lot recently. It has been a lot of fun using my mic with friends trying to learn the game, and communicating with those in your tank.
 
Red Orchestra!

Well, I'm sure to some people the game may suck! But for me, it kind of reminds me of COD 1, 2 & 3. If you like those type of games. I didn't get a chance to play it yet. It's already downloaded. But the trailer looked enticing and hooked me. And $4.99 is like a penny to me. It only took 20 minutes to download. "Hey!", "I'll give it a try"!

Peace to all!
