Looks like a WW2 wultiplayer FPS. I think it has a single-player campaign too. You can redeem it on Steam. I'm getting it now.

I looked into that here:

Apparently Rising Storm does not have single player.

If you already have Red Orchestra 2, then the DLC for that game is installed with this. Red Orchestra 2 has single player, but only in the form of offline multi-player with bots. Personally I do enjoy shooting up bots when the mood strikes me. So you may have to purchase RO2 to get single player - RO2 seems to be about $20 in Steam.

I've been told by clanmates that Red Orchestra is pretty neat, but much less arcadish than games like Battlefield. For example it takes multiple players to operate a tank like it would in real life.

Of course if you get RS for free it's not like you're risking anything other than a little free time trying it out. Thanks for posting this! :cheers:

I was able to JUST get this. 2 hours remaining..

I know I don't play a lot of games but I LOVE getting free ones and adding to my library. You never know when I may want to try something.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I'd heard references to bots, so I wasn't sure about the single player. I had secret hopes of a co-op mode when I heard, "bots", but I didn't want to mention that until I heard more.

I got it with 1 hour remaining. Didn't install, but it's in the library.
