When it's a completely new game?

Sure, Red Orchestra was an attempted mod for UT, which only had one beta release that was hardly a release...

This release has been completely rebuilt, and includes so much more than that beta ever had in its dreams. Go check out the teaser videos.

System Requirements

Minimum:
CPU: 1.2 GHZ or Equivalent, 512 MB RAM, Video Card: 64 MB DX9 Compliant, 2 GB free hard drive space, DX 8.1 Compatible Audio, Windows 2000/XP

Recommended:
CPU: 2.4 GHZ, Video Card: 128 MB DX9 Compliant with PS 2.0 support, Sound Card: Eax Compatible

It's fairly beefy, so it is definately for the modestly-well-built folks. However, it is definately worth it. The environments are just awesome. There's so much depth to the gameplay that just about anything is possible. It seriously feels like you're in a real combat scenario, rather than some scripted point-to-point game.

Thank's

I seen the minimum spec crap but couldn't find the recomended,Look's like i'll be getting this one for sure

So far, aside from the graphics load, the only downside to this game that I've experienced is that it takes a bit of time to get used to. The gameplay is rather complex, which is cool because it means you can do so many things. You're no longer restricted to just 3 or 4 actions.

Plus, having fully-fledged tanks, realistically designed and implemented, with full tank crews (commander, driver, gunner), is something that is really awesome.

It's really very dynamic.

What's also cool is that it comes with its own bots, and a practice mode, which allows you to play and gain experience with the features, weapons, vehicles, and environments, before you jump into the online battlefield. Which is invaluable, since like I said before, the game can be tough due to all the features and the broad spectrum of actions and possibilities.

The other great thing is that the game utilizes the setup configuration characteristic of Unreal Tech games, which gives you a broad spectrum of configuration options for the video and audio output. So even if you have just a moderate machine, you can still play by tweaking things down a few steps.
