ORION: Dino Beatdown RETURNS!
The WORST Game on Steam HAS RETURNED - ORION: Dino Beatdown!
https://youtu.be/U2ghyZg_na8

This is FREE ACCESS for ALL owners of ORION: Prelude. Learn how to activate it below:


STEP 001 - FORWARDING PORTS (REQUIRED FOR ONLINE PLAY)
You must open/forward the following ports required by Unreal Engine 3:
  • 6500
  • 7777
  • 7778
  • 7787
  • 13000
  • 27900

STEP 002 - SWITCHING TO ORION: DINO BEATDOWN
Step 1: Open your Steam Librar, Right-Click on 'ORION: Prelude' Step 2: Select Properties Step 3: Select 'Betas' Tab (far right) Step 4: Select "originalbeatdown" from the drop-down menu.

STEP 003 - CREATING AN ONLINE GAME
Simply go through the menu, Create a Game with whatever Map/Settings you want and then begin.

STEP 004 - JOINING AN ONLINE GAME
The most reliable way to join an online game/friend is via the DEVELOPER CONSOLE (~ key) and using the following command:
OPEN IP
*You must place the hosted server IP in place of IP, so for example "open 123.45.67.890" (without quotes)

- - - -
SOME NOTES
1. It is buggy, you've been warned.
2. It is "less buggy" if played Solo, but more boring.
3. It is "more buggy" if played Online, but likely more entertaining.

Do not use 'Connect to server' via the server browser, use the dev console (~ key) like above.

Someone creates an online game, starts it.
Others join via console:
open IP HERE

If you're having issues connecting/joining you'll need to open/forward ports. I've updated the original post with information relating to this.

I just played it on Win 10, had to use the " -windowed " launch option to get it to open . Solo worked , I would not say it was boring , I have not died that much in a long time.

I did not remember how insane those maps were. My project was to re-build them in the sdk, but hey, they are just too much....

Seeing this makes me miss the pre-prelude models for everyone.

They were no joke, absolutely massive.

They were fun - lots of issues with them though that we wouldn't wanted to have brought forward in time through DH/Prelude.

If you can't forward the ports you won't be able to play multiplayer online, but I guess Lan should work.

Which version of Dino Horde would you want? The game went through a lot of changes. The original Dino Beatdown is fun to get back to, but I don't see much use in playing later iterations when we've got the current game available.

"You had me at dinos and jetpacks!"

Thats 100% my thought. As long as you guys make games with dinos, jetpacks and freaky sci fi look, I will buy it, even if it is buggy. :D


I also really enjoy this games Artworks, armor and weapon styles.

@David Prassel
You are trying to make it funny, but I paid full price for Orion: Dino Beatdown, the worse version to WORST game on steam quoted from your comment. I still remember that.
