Meh, will take up HDD space and I have very little left. Damn.

Those Trials are definitely one of the greatest advantages of Steam as a gaming platform. Being able to test the complete game over a limited time period is just so much better than the traditional Demo, which usually only features a small fracture of the gaming experience and could give a false impression of the game as a whole.. Hooraaaay Steam!

 

[Mand0lesi]

This is a grand update.

The new map and the smoke grenades are top notch.

Horray for steam and tripwire!

 

[Naudian]

Gimmeh pics!

Edit: actually I just watched the map trailer on Steam, beautifulness <3

That's the only "disadvantage" of RO: it has a darn steep lurning curve.
Try to avoid the rifles, they are very difficult to master :cheese:

 

[Teknesh]

Actually not.

 

[Monkwarrior]

Actually not.

Of course .......

"That's the only "disadvantage" of RO: it has a darn steep lurning curve."

That's the best part! It keeps the morons out. The people who are all "LOL NOOB LOL" and "SIF U GOT TEH PWNZORED" and the other whiner type morons.

Or at least, it keeps the much to a much more minimum. Enforces team play, and is just a damned fun game!

Does anyone else find it odd that Steampowered.com doesn't seem to be actively advertising this too much.. nor did this site mention it?
Does Valve want to undermine Tripwire's game!?
