ORION: SOURCE MULTIPLAYER BETA - LAST CALL!
Things are about to get pretty crazy for us. We will be bunkering down under ground for the next few months preparing a plethora of content to get ready for the early months of 2011.
As you all know, we announced a cease development on the ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta which went into effect on July 1st, 2010. We had to shift our focus towards the new title in development which would encompass all of the great features that we wanted to add (dinosaurs, vehicles) and had the ultimatum of choosing between the two.
So we were thinking... how about one last hoorah?

We are gearing up for a neat little event this Saturday - the day before Halloween. We invite everyone to go ahead and join this game as well as welcome any new fans of ORION to download the Source Multiplayer Beta and have the opportunity to get a taste of it.

this is the source multiplayer beta
does this mean there will be a full release on source before you unreal?
Nope.
We are simply bringing back the Source Beta back from the grave for one day before we go into a 4 month hiding period to develop some "things" for early 2011.
We want to get one last hoorah of ORION with the public - and Beta 1.2 is going to be the outlet. We hope to see you there!
just downloaded it today for this.
Its mah birthday, but I'll be busy, lame.
Ah, yes. The Orion: Source multiplayer beta. Good times, good times. Albeit the levels differ greatly in quality and the character models look like they've been cloned from Halo, the game has a certain charm that kept me coming back for more. I will definitely consider attending!
I'm ready, in honor of the Source Beta!
Haha, I knew you guys couldn't resist giving us one last day of fun.
Dang, Ill be at a Halloween party...
We hope to see at least 14 zillion people at this event....
Or else!
******* missed it. Oh well, I'll buy the unreal version anyway.
