This has all happened before, but will all of it happen again? As it did last October, Valve has briefly cut the Steam price of Red Orchestra to a paltry $5. That's 66% off!

The sale, which lasts all weekend, is meant to celebrate the latest update to Tripwave's tactical PC shooter. That patch brought about Steam achievements and a new map.

This is the game that defines skill in a tactical FPS. No nancy crosshairs or zooming. If you like a challenge, spend the $5.

I found this game to be fustratingly difficult. I enjoy tactical, strategic shooters, but I'm talking... Ghost Recon tactical, not this.
Though I don't feel it was a waste of $5, it's definately too hardcore of a simulation shooter for me. Honestly, I just don't find it fun. This is easily the most painfully realistic shooter ever released, which feels weird, given it's strikingly dated graphics.
