Awe, I got excited thinking it was a real orchestra game from looking at the title, but alas it's a war game. That is really neat that they give everyone a free trial though.

Here is a quick overview of the game from the web site:


Fight in the theatre of war that changed the world forever. Battle alongside your compatriots on some of the most inhospitable environments of the Eastern Front in Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 RO places you in the most realistic WWII first-person multi-player combat to date on the PC, allowing the player to fight through some of the most intense combat of the war. You can play as infantry, using a wide range of infantry weapons, or crew one of the many armoured combat vehicles available in the game, from half-tracks all the way through to the most famous German and Soviet heavy tanks. You can engage the enemy with everything from your bayonet at close quarters up to the massive 122mm cannon on the Soviet IS-2. And if that isn't enough, find an officer and a radio to call in thunderous artillery strikes to shake the enemy loose.

Some screenshots here

That's one of the first time I've actually seen someone using AntiAliasing for screenshots! What an idea! :roll:

Anyway, looks like an interesting game. However, I think the WWII games are about overdone now.

can you imagine being a WWII vet? That must be rough knowing all these kids are getting kicks out of something that you witnessed. I don't know, I still think they shouldn't have Nam games, as much fun as they are, but I guess it is inevitable. I wonder how long it will be until Escape from the Twin Towers comes out. Kind of makes me sick.

My dad was a WWII vet and it didn't bother him, in fact he was impressed at how realistic the weapon's sounded.
