Fans of tactical shooters, Steam has: Download and install Red Orchestra 2 sometime before 10 A.M. Thursday and it's yours forever. Yes, no strings attached—unless you consider a Steam account a 'string,' but most PC gamers have already been wrapped up in Valve's cat's cradle-like monstrosity for years now. Sure, Red Orchestra 2 is a few years old now and getting a bit long in the tooth, but it's still one of the most satisfying, complex multiplayer shooters out there. If you've never played before, don't jump in expecting Call of Duty.
You will die. And horribly.
This is a slow-paced, PC-only type of shooter. There are a couple of caveats here. Normally when Steam gives something away for free you can just click the 'Install' button and cancel partway through, tying the game to your account without needing to download right away. According to the promotion's wording, that isn't the case here—you need to install the entirety of the game today in order to take advantage of the offer. However, you're free to try canceling the install and seeing if it works. Just don't be surprised if it doesn't. It's also a bit unclear from the promotion's wording, so here's a clarification of what the 'purchase' nets you: You definitely will receive Red Orchestra 2's singleplayer portion, but that's not really the draw here.
You also receive full access to Red Orchestra 2's base multiplayer, which is Russia versus Germany—full weapons, full leveling, full unlocks, et cetera. Then you also get 'Rifle Access' to the Rising Storm expansion's multiplayer, which features Japan versus the United States. However, this Rising Storm content is basically a demo—you can't level, and you're stuck with a single class and single weapon.
Still, it's not a bad deal. Go forth, comrades, and enjoy the fruits of somebody else's labor freely given.
1 February Hello everyone! We are pushing an update for the Community Test Branch tommorow. 26 January Hello Everyone, We wanted to make sure all players are up to date on what is happening with Rising Storm 2: Vietnam in both the short and long term for this year. The first thing we want to cover is the top two crashes many of you are experiencing. We believe we have found and fixed one (that could happen when attempting to open any map). We’re trying to release this one as a hotfix sometime early next week, but it needs further testing first.
The two games are combined you need to join a server running the red orchestra 2 maps they start with a different prefix then Rising Storm ones. This game shines but the game does require you to know the feel of the weapons and layout of the maps to be any good at it, so you're not wrong for practicing a bit with bots;).

About This Game Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is the sequel to PC Gamer’s 2011 & 2013 ‘Multiplayer Game of the Year’, published by Tripwire Interactive and developed by Antimatter Games, the same team that created the award-winning and innovative asymmetric gameplay of the original Rising Storm. For the first time, the authentic gunplay and visceral first-person action of the Red Orchestra series is coming to an era of automatic rifles, man-portable grenade launchers and more modern weapons systems. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam casts players into a brutal, authentic recreation of the Vietnam War. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam offers intense tactical action for up to 64 players in battles between the US forces and the Vietnamese, with each force having their own unique abilities and tactical advantages such as Napalm Strikes, Artillery Barrages, surface-to-air missiles, traps, ambushes and more. A variety of authentic period weapons available including the M16, M14, M60, M79 and M3 Grease Gun for the Americans; and the Type 56 Assault Rifle (a Chinese copy of the famous AK-47), RPG-7, MAT-49, SKS Carbine and many, many more for the Vietcong.
Weapons also have a wide range of functionality with in-game implications, including adjustable stocks, attachable bayonets, and a new and advanced recoil system which builds on the already phenomenal weapon handling that the Red Orchestra series is famous for. Players on the US team will be able to pilot 3 different helicopters - the UH-1H 'Huey' transport, the OH-6 'Loach' light recon and the powerful AH-1G 'Cobra' attack helicopter.

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam allows players to control either the U.S. Army and Marines Corps or the militarized and guerrilla forces of North Vietnam - the NVA and the Viet Cong. Each map faithfully recreates the look of the Vietnam experience and aims to pull players directly into the war with its extreme authenticity to real life.
