Red Orchestra Modding Community Grows With Defence Alliance
Thursday, 18th May 2006

Tripwire Interactive is excited to announce that the modding community for Red Orchestra is about to take a major step forward. There are already a number of realism mods logged for the game, only a week after the launch of the SDK. These include “Burning Sands: Afrikafeldzug 40-43” and “Campagna Italiana: Road to Rome”, already starting into production. The new addition is the renowned Unreal Tournament 2004 mod “Defence Alliance”, which will now make the move from UT2004 to RO as the first total conversion mod for RO!

As put in more detail by the DA team:

“After years of development and experience using the Unreal Engine tools provided by Unreal Tournament 2004, the Defence Alliance Team is proud to announce a shift in the Defence Alliance universe. Defence Alliance 2.5 will be a completely new experience from what previous versions provided to our trusted players!

With the recent success of Defence Alliance 2 on Unreal Tournament, Defence Alliance 2 version 1.6 will be ported to Red Orchestra. The Unreal Tournament 2004 version will also be updated and it will be the last version which will address all the latest issues that were noted in our last version.

The new version, DA 2.5, will be built entirely for Tripwire’s Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, using the SDK recently released through Steam. It will introduce a completely new and unique gameplay. While we cannot reveal a lot of information now we can at least tease you by saying that finally FPS meets RTS the way it is supposed to be.

We are currently looking for experienced modelers, 2D artists, level designers and programmers that can help us in our new development cycle. Defence Alliance 2.5 will be available through Steam® and will require Red Orchestra in order to work.”

About Tripwire Interactive
Tripwire Interactive LLC was formed by the team that created the original Red Orchestra, the award-winning mod for Unreal® Tournament 2004, in February 2005. Although the founders and staff of Tripwire have many individual game credits to their names, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 is Tripwire’s first independent title. Red Orchestra won Phases II, III and IV and the Grand Finals of the NVIDIA $1,000,000 Make Something Unreal Contest – every phase it was entered in!
