Destineer taps Unreal Engine 3 for new project [update]
These days, it's often more difficult to find a company who is not using Epic's Unreal Engine for something rather than one that is. Be that as it may, Minneapolis-based Destineer, the distributor behind the Unreal Engine-based Red Orchestra, have continued to look to the popular middleware solution, announcing that the studio has licensed Unreal Engine 3 for an upcoming project.Nothing yet has been announced about the game, though Destineer's pedigree suggests that we should at least save a spot for the title on our ever-crowded radar. The company was founded in 2001 by former Bungie exec Peter Tamte, and has been involved with realistic combat games, such as First To Fight , which is so realistic that it's used by the U.S. Marine Corps for training purposes. That's all well and good, but we're hoping that Destineer uses the new license for something more creative, like letting us be farmers.[Update: Corrected Destineer's role in Red Orchestra.]
Five days of free Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45
We figured we'd hold onto this until you could actually get your hands on it ... so now, after 1:00PM PST on Wednesday, August 2nd, you can open up your Steam client, download Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, and play the entire dubya-dubya-aye-aye squad-based multiplayer shooter for five whole days and spend exactly nothing! Idea being, once those five days are up, you're going to have a serious hankering to leave the files on your system and pony up the $24.95 asking price to unlock the thing and keep on playing. Anyone whose been playing this want to offer their feedback to the class?
