MaydaX Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Here at Tripwire Interactive we're incredibly excited that Red Orchestra 2 won PC Gamer's Multiplayer FPS of the Year. And we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this than to give away a free content pack for the game to everyone that owns it. So we're very pleased to announce the Red Orchestra 2 Game of the Year Edition featuring an amazing new map, diverse new game modes and a host of new features. The GOTY Edition Free Content Pack will download automatically for everyone who already owns the game - and, so everyone else can try the full game, Red Orchestra 2 will be available completely free to play for everyone on Steam this weekend, starting Thursday 24 May 2012 at 10AM Pacific Time. The content pack will be released before the free weekend starts. The content pack additions include: "Action" mode - Featuring a crosshair, easier aiming and toned down recoil, reduced damage and open access to a wide range of weaponry Action mode is the perfect first step for players into the world of Red Orchestra. "Classic" mode blends the gameplay innovations of the new game with the tactical and edgy gameplay of the original giving the fans of the first game exactly what they want. Mamayev Kurgan - complete new map, featuring both close-quarters battles in trenches and bunkers, as well as longer ranged combat across the famous hill in Stalingrad Refined and improved gameplay across the board, vehicle improvements, and way better performance and polish.

buttscratcher Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) We got this for our guys while on sale. Thought it would be a nice change of pace. What kind of server control does the game use? Might rent a small server and learn the ropes w/out bogging down a pub server. EDIT: Had a quick look around a pub server. Its worth the $10. Heck, even if it was just to support TW, I'd recommend it. Edited May 25, 2012 by buttscratcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutshot Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Been playing it. It's nice to see some real people on it and not just bots. Gonna fire up another server for it now that the guys in my clan are interested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
