Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 Gains Achievements, New Map

Roswell, GA, March 6th, 2009 - Tripwire Interactive is pleased to announce that we will be adding Steam Achievements into Red Orchestra, making use of another of Steam's great features, next week.

The new map "Fallen Heroes" is a brutal combined arms battle set on the iconic "Red Square" in downtown Stalingrad. Developed by Tripwire for the initial release as the set piece Russian counterpart for the popular Konigsplatz map, the map didn't make the cut and was shelved for the past three years. Some months ago the map was passed off to award winning community mapper Kevin "Dr. Guppy" Butt to complete. Resurrected by a fan, for the fans, this excellent addition to the RO map line up is being released for free with this update for anyone with RO:Ostfront.
