Anyone played or looked at Red Orchestra for the steam engine? I saw the trailer for it today and i must say it looks awesome, a bit like bf2 exept with an incredibly gritty atmosphere and maps full of trenches and stuff. I think there is a free version for the UT2k4 engine, anyone want to give it a go?

I'm trying to download the UT version, first attempt failed with corrupt zip file. I wouldn't mind having a go at the saucy edition, the trailer makes it look good.

Don't get Steam confused with Source.

The game is being released on steam, but is based on the unreal 2.5 engine*

this game has nothing to do with valve other than the content distribution method.

*Tripwire won commercial rights for the engine by winning the make somthing unreal contest.

Indeed in a moment of spack I got all excited about the original SiN being Steam-delivered, thinking it would be super-improved. It's not, it's the same game and engine I already had. Seven years ago.

However, this no longer holds true, at least, even at resolution=stupid: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1998/11/18 (their first comic evar)
