ORION BETA 1.2 GOES PUBLIC - DOWNLOAD NOW!
Image

Today marks a very special day for all of us. This has been months in the making but completely worth the wait! We've completely re-shaped the Orion Source Beta. It is light years ahead of the previous releases in terms of performance, optimization, stability, and features. We've gone back and re-worked the entire weapons system, wrote a brand new grenade system, completed over 100 game tweaks and fixes, removed all server crash bugs and added 5 brand new maps!

We are extremely happy to release this and we will be posting updates all week as well as playing with the community. Be sure to visit our forums to obtain exclusive media as well as arranged playtest sessions and more!

STEAMWORKS

Orion Source Multiplayer Beta 1.2 also marks the opportunity for Orion to become a SteamWorks release. This would truly benefit everyone as it would allow us to pump out more content for the Beta, including achievements, hats, statistics and tons of other features we would really love to add to the game as well as improvements and new content. Valve is considering Orion for a SteamWorks release based on player activitiy and overall acceptance of the Beta 1.2 release. You can help make this a reality by simply downloading the Beta as well as playing it as much as your heart desires!
