I know a couple of you gents have/had played RO. They just announced the stand-alone version will be released through Steam. I find it interesting that Valve is allowing an Unreal 2.5 engined game to be released on their service. Guess they are trying to expand Steam.

Anyway, I always enjoyed RO and am looking forward to the new version. Here are some screenshots with more on the website:

Standalone, eh? How big is it, and is it available any other way?

Good for them I say. They sure put forth a ton of effort, time for some mass exposure.

...

is valve going to charge for distribution?

doh, read the article, I guess so. I didnt know they won that $1mil unreal contest. wow!

No wonder the dev team were so quiet on their forums in the last few months.

Those look like new maps too!

Easily the best FPS available today - it just had too few players before.

Easily it's still the third best FPS out there.

A good interview with the RO devs. I'm really looking forward to this release.

Dowding · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2005, 04:26:42 PM »

It looks like they've made all sorts of gameplay and visual improvements. Particularly like the diving through windows part.
