Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Free Full-Game Trial via Steam (Aug 2 through Aug 7).

Roswell, GA, July 26, 2006: Tripwire Interactive is pleased to announce a free full-game trial for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. From Wednesday August 2 through Monday August 7, players can download and play the full multiplayer game via Steam. .

The free trial will come on the heels of Red Orchestra’s soon to be released Free Booster Pack. The original game features 13 maps, 28 weapons and 14 crewable vehicles. Just 4 months after release, the Free Booster Pack and previous updates add a large number of new features including:


- A full new map, Lyes Krovy, a brutal close-quarters fight for a German trench-and-bunker position in a forest in northern Russia in the summer of 1944. Soviet forces attack a strongly-fortified position, while the Germans fight hard to hold them off. Lyes Krovy has rapidly become a favorite with the Tripwire test team!

- A new weapon system - smoke grenades. On select maps, infantry commanders will now have smoke instead of explosive grenades, which can be used to create quick cover for assault routes, or to momentarily blind the defenders. We're finding that clever use of smoke can change tactical stalemates at a stroke!

- Two new weapons - the German MP41 sub-machine gun and the Soviet M44 rifle.

- Numerous other changes to the tank armor penetration systems; the tank reloading system and changes to the victory conditions to prevent stalemates.

Now you can see for yourself why Wargamer says “Red Orchestra: Ostfront is a marvellous game: a work of art, and a work of love. In some aspects it is the most demanding but also the most rewarding shooter ever produced.”

ABOUT TRIPWIRE

Tripwire Interactive LLC was formed by the team that created Red Orchestra, the award-winning mod for Unreal Tournament 2004®, in February 2005. Although the founders and staff of Tripwire have many individual game credits, including America’s Army, to their names, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 is Tripwire’s first independent title. Red Orchestra won many awards as a mod, including Phases II, III and IV and the Grand Finals of Nvidia’s “$1,000,000 Make Something Unreal” contest. Tripwire released the full, standalone retail version - Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 – over Steam in March 2006, shortly followed by distribution in stores worldwide.
