What was once one of the best mods of its day (having won the $1,000,000 Make Something Unreal competition), is now only a few weeks from hitting the shelves as a fully fledged, no-shortcuts-taken awesome game. What is even better, is RO's drive to support and help out the mod community and that is why (thanks to Tripwire Interactive) we now have a handful of Steam Beta access keys to give out. So if you are like me and counting down the days to this games release, stop waiting because you have a chance to get playing right now.

How? Well we just need a few enthusiastic volunteers who want to give this game a good hammering / thrashing. Respond to this news post if interested, and this time 2 days from now - we will pick a few people at random and give them access via their Steam account. It couldn't be easier to jump onto the battlefields during WWII. For more information about this game, head to the Red Orchestra official homepage, or jump onto the Red Orchestra Game Profile here at the Mod DB.

you cant download this anymore:(
I'm interested. Clearly.
75-100 people that play activly.Also you get to know everyone :P.I don't mind only 3-4 servers being active usually 2-3 server are filled with people.The game kicks ass despite having a poor audience.Hopefully with the steam release it will become big!
Steam may be convenient for people with a good internet connection, but for people that are stuck with dialup, steam is more of a burden than a luxery. That's my personal reason for disliking it, but when dsl comes to my area, I'll probably stop complaining :)
what! steam rules XD no looking for updates or manuly downloading levels.. and no cds
Unfortunatly yes...
Is it still going to be coming to Steam?
I LOVE U GUYS FOR GOING STEAM STANDALONE.
i was gonna go buy UT JUST for this, but now i dont gots to
much <3x333333 :DD
uh dood EA ships VALVe's games now or somethin they've got some kind of partnership somehwere. anyways thats freakin awesome that you guys are going standalone.
big news, this mod is coming to steam!! that means that we wont have to not only not buy ut2004(or whatever) but there will be legions of Valve faithful playin this mod. This mod will be so friggin awesome on steam. Its kinda wierd, an EA engine on steam, home of the Source engine. Think that there might be an engine swap?
