Quote from http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com:
QuotePolish up your rifles and grab some ammo â€" the Game of the Year Edition for Red Orchestra 2 has just been released! From now until Sunday 27 May, Red Orchestra 2 multi-player will be available completely free to play for everyone on Steam so get out there and give the game a try. Not only is the game free this weekend, but if you decide to pick it up before Monday we’re selling it at 75% off! We’ve also created a trailer to showcase the new content added in the free GOTY Content Pack including the new map Mamayev Kurgan.
In case you’ve forgotten â€" the GOTY Content Pack is, of course, free to everyone who already owns the game and includes:
“Action†mode â€" Featuring a crosshair, easier aiming and toned down recoil, reduced damage and open access to a wide range of weaponry Action mode is the perfect first step for players into the world of Red Orchestra.
“Classic†mode blends the gameplay innovations of the new game with the tactical and edgy gameplay of the original giving the fans of the first game exactly what they want.
Mamayev Kurgan â€" complete new map, featuring both close-quarters battles in trenches and bunkers, as well as longer ranged combat across the famous hill in Stalingrad
Refined and improved gameplay across the board, vehicle improvements, and way better performance and polish. We listened to the community and based on their feedback refined and tweaked almost every major feature in the game!
So don’t miss out, the free weekend is on now! Grab the game from Steam

My parents always told me that if I have nothing nice to say about a game don't say anything at all....
7pm start on our server if anyone wants to make the most of the Free Weekend :boxing:
I haven't been in game tonight, but the server has been rammed for most of the evening, is this the free weekend effect or the new patch?

(These are for Steam keys. I've picked up so many good games on steam and Android from this site it's ridiculous, and you can choose how your money gets split between the site, the developer and charity).
If you don't like steam you should still check out Humble Bundle regularly because the majority of their games are sold completely DRM free and cross platform for Linux, Mac, PC and Android (where versions exist).
