Following hot on the heels of Darwinia, this month's PC Gamer UK carries the news that the celebrated WWII UT2004 mod Red Orchestra, which won the 'Make Something Unreal' competition and with it an engine license, will be released standalone over Steam this January.
And so another mod turns pro: Red Orchestra, despite making its reputation as a UT2004 total conversion, will be coming to us as a standalone game via Valve's huge bandwidth."
It seems that the Red Orchestra team have been working on their game for this standalone release, so expect some significant improvements over the current mod version.
It's a different game, not just the next point release of RO. They've got an engine license, you can bet they are going to use it!
Congratulations :D
huh, a UT engine game on steam
wheres the flying pigs
Shame Steam wasn't around when Maxis was swallowed by EA. I'm sure we'd now have all the classic Maxis there on Steam. Bring on the Theme Park!
How much will it cost, ya know, since everything else costs money on STEAM. (ex. Rag Doll Kung-Fu)
Hahahaha I bet everyone who paid for DoD:S by itself (not Silver or Gold) are gnashing their teeth.
I'm definitely looking forward to this one :)
Congrads guys, your hard work really paid off :D
Woah this came out of the blue...But congrats
******* GREAT, IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS! GOOD JOB, AND GOOD LUCK :)
its good to see steam getting a decent WWII game other than the original DoD.
It's probably going to cost $15.
Maybe 20 but still cool. Great to see Steam expanding the market.
CONGRATS!!!!
wow, i really hope its better then the free version(which wont be easy). Cant wait for this.
Nice, I wonder if the Unreal Developers/Execs saw this coming :P
I'm sure they did. :)
Yeah for the dev's! I'd prefer a CD copy instead of steam though. At least I can still play the free mod. :)
Wow I must say this is retarded, yet another game that was free now costing money...I am all for mod developers making money for their creations, but to offer it for years as a free game, then to suddenly charge for it? I'm glad I played it while it lasted, because I will be playing it no longer....Charge for it right away or dont charge for it at all!
I dont know why you guys keep thinking it will cost money, but right now, it says nothing of cost in that post.
It most likely will cost money, but its not due to the fact they have a licensed engine now, since they got it for free...
man i got so ****** when DoD:S came out, it was good and all, but the crap they changed was unbelievable. haha man this game is gonna take over DoD:S :D
