Rising Storm is a mod for the soon-to-be-released title from Tripwire Interactive, Heroes of Stalingrad. It will bring the intense and realistic firefighting of 'Heroes of Stalingrad' to the Pacific Theater, 1942-45, pitting the US Army and Marine Corps against the Imperial Japanese Army and Special Naval Landing Forces. The bloody multiplayer battles will be fought out across the Pacific from the Philippines through to Okinawa and will feature all the innovations of 'HoS' and a few more of its own. The development team features some of the leading lights of the Red Orchestra modders along with some very strong candidates from the various CG communities that can be found across the world. There are over 20 of the top 'stars of the future' on the team, thanks to the support of Tripwire. The mod team team have been given advance access to the development tools to bring all the latest features of the Unreal engine to bear on this project, promising a superlative gaming experience.

"Rising Storm is a total conversion modification for the eagerly awaited WWII First-person Shooter, Heroes of Stalingrad: Red Orchestra; based on the Pacific campaign of 1941-45. It is unique in that it is a mod in which there is financial compensation for the development team from the backing studio."

From the development team's "About" page on their website.

"You are not only paying the game, you are paying the game and mods and all patchs and free dlcs(YES FREE) that we´ll be releasing for the game"

Rising Storm is an expansion pack, not an DLC.

Tripwire actually always lies and later on changes the facts. And if Rising Storm costs anything I won't be getting it.

I have only followed the development since July 2010, but I never ever ever heard TWI say that RS would be free for sure. If RS will be worth a decent amount of money, it might cost some.

When did they say that? I only recall hearing that we should not expect it to be released until perhaps 1 year after RO2 release.
