New Red Orchestra 2 Update comes with Modding and map making tools


Tripwire Interactive sent us word about a new update that is available on Steam. The key features of this new update are the Modding and map making tools, as well as the overall performance optimization. While the limited functionality preview versions of the SDK have been available to select modders for a while, this release now makes the full capabilities of the Mod SDK available to everyone. As always, the update will be auto-downloaded next time you start the Steam client. You can view the entire changelog for this update after the jump.
