Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45: making realism fun since 2006. It would later receive a sequel, Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad.

Red Orchestra Mod leftovers#

The texture package “ROInterfaceArt” consists of leftovers from when Red Orchestra was an Unreal Tournament 2003 (later Unreal Tournament 2004) mod.

Unused Models#

Maxim Gorky II#

An unused model named “MaximGorkyII” can be found in the “artillery” section of the “MilitaryAlliesSM” model package. In real life, the Maxim Gorky II was a coastal fortress used by the Soviets in WWII. Presumably, this model would have been part of a cut map set on said fortress.

Tiger Tank#

Two unused alternate models for the Tiger tank can be found in the “tiger1” section of the “axis_vehicles_stc” package. They are untextured versions of the in-game Tiger tank model with crude-looking people sticking out of certain parts of the tank.

Unfinished Lamps#

There are 2 lamp models that use unfinished textures that only show UV maps, which can be found in the "FurnitureSM" static mesh package.

Hidden Texture Messages#

Some of the weapon textures have either messages from the texture artist or humorous pictures in them.

Message on the Mosin Nagant's ammo texture.

Monster on the Satchel Charge's texture.

Funny-looking leather biker and dorky-looking guy on the SVT-40's scope texture.

Cut Howard Dean Easter Egg#

Howard Dean Scream

The Howard Dean scream found in the files, according to the code in the ROPawn class it was supposed to be a 0.001% chance to play. However, that code is commented out of the PlayDyingSound function so thus it doesn't ever happen in game.
