The Source Multiplayer Beta was shut down on July 1st, 2010. We are currently focused on the brand new independent title.

And opens up! We are pleased to announce that ORION: Source Beta is officially Open-Source! We have been talking about this behind doors for a little bit now and it is finally time. We are extremely humbled to how far we have come and without Valve, Source, the Source SDK and the release of the ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta - it wouldn't have been possible.
We would like to give back to the Source Modding Community. You may have noticed our Firearm's acquisition April Fools joke where they featured some of our old dinosaur content in the media - well now you can do the same.

ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:
Sadly, we need to make a few disclaimers. First and most importantly - the Source Code. I unfortunately had a hard drive crap out in late 2009. This means that the Source Code included is the source code from roughly 5-6 months before the first public release. So much of it is dated and will probably appear broken, however, after much discussion we figured that someone out there may find some use from it - so we included it anyways.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER:
There is of course bound to be a few glitches here and there. There also may be some missing content. If we stumble upon any additional assets or materials or source code elements, we will make an update and release it. Let us know any problems you may encounter.
This is a (for the most part) un-organized collection of the files. You talented folk will be responsible for decompiling and reconstruction of the files. This is simply our permission to use it in your mods and products - those of which have no financial gain.

someone make a server
No one is ever online...
i love playing this mod... the only problem is no one has a server up (or the only servers are LAN) and there are no bots
This looks really great. Can you make realistic collimator- and holographic sights, or Source couldn't handle that? Also, you should drop that useless PSO-1 reticle.
alive or dead?
I was thinking about downloading this.
...Are there any servers on it? A lot of you people seem pretty upset.
come on its been a month + since u said the competition was over, so who won? or was it just a prompt and a lie?

Sigh, I miss Incoming: Source.
We announced a cease development for 'ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta' (aka ORION: Prototype) back in July of 2010. This was to focus on the much newer (and much better product), ORION: Prelude, which you can learn more about here:
