What kind of FPS is it? Just deathmatch? Capturing points? It doesn't seem to come right out and say THIS IS WHAT THE GAME IS. Well, it makes it sound like small-scale deathmatch, but the inclusion of vehicles (especially aircraft) makes me doubt that. >__>

I heard this was a free(but crappy) version of BF2. I guess it's nice for the general FFR to get it, since a lot of us don't want to pay. I don't mind, but I'd rather play a lower quality game with friends than a higher quality one without friends. I'll get this if three other people do first.

And that thing you quoted still doesn't really say what kind of game modes there are exactly.

The way you type is very important. It's basically the biggest thing that stands out about how intelligent you are since we aren't exactly around you to tell otherwise. You have also just stated the most important factor against you in your argument. THIS IS A FORUM NOT A CHAT, so you have the time to spell out everything you wish to say. It's also very hard to understand someone when they spell like a goddamn 7 year old. This cannot be stated enough man.

The weapons system is too limited in WarRock to be a legit tactical multiplayer shooter.

fail.

Still. I don't like the game concept. While CS manages to include weapons that seem reasonable in a police/military police/CQB situation, War Rock seems like a mass infantry shooter that includes anachronistic weapons like the MP5k just to add variety to the game, a concept that really makes a lot of the tactical shooters fail in my opinion. If you want a CQB-type shooter, stick with CQB weapons (i.e no RPG's and all that overkill crap). If you want a realistic mass-infantry shooter then don't implement weapons that probably won't be used in real life.

Alright, a LOT of people are looking down on this. More than I thought, even.

But hell, if I ever get in the mood to download it, I will. I know it's not a big file, and I also know it can potentially be fun, even though I have an enormous selection of MMORPGs since that's pretty much all I do all day.

But I'd say it's worth a shot in a whenever-I-feel-like-it time period. I could download it today, or next week, not sure, but I will download it eventually and post about how it was, gametypes, etc. and everything people wanted when I do.
===
I downloaded this game, but I haven't installed it. I'll go play it and come back to explain the game more thoroughly and stuff.

My account name is Alizee. I don't even have it installed, so I don't know what server or character I'll be, but I hope to have the same character name as my account name. I'll probably be playing on the first server, unless it is full, whichever that is.

WarRock is a piece of ****.

Why?

The biggest problem is lighting. Holy ****ing **** are you kidding me? 2/3s of my screen is black half the time because the lighting sucks.

Second problem is balance. It sucks. Heavy infantry units stink. Being an engineer is too situational and slow and you'll want to stick with being a medic. And in order to have good weapons, you need to constantly be playing the game (see below).

Third problem is you can't change the controls. This sucks for me because my settings are really messed up for most games (example: I use F to reload.). Beta? Who cares, no excuse for the lack of something so important in a game.

This game is the exact opposite of a "whenever-I-feel-like-it" game.

Want a weapon? Cool. 3-30 days later it'll disappear. Then combine that with the fact primary weapons suck. The only primary weapon that doesn't completely blow is the sniper rifle.

Default Re: War Rock

I played this game, and it turned about to be pretty decent. When I say that, I mean decent, not good, or bad.

Alright, well, the classes weren't different enough for it to really be noticable. There's a sniper(a person with normal guns and a sniper), and medic(same guns and a little selfhealing), a normal person(same guns), and this heavy unit(same guns with rocket launcher). Well, I dunno, they could at least make TWO of the default guns different.

Alright, well, that's just fine, but I shot someone, they died. About literally 20 seconds later, it said I got shot by the person I killed. It's kinda odd how it happened, since the person was shooting the wrong way when aiming at me, anyway. It just happens with the way it works.

Oh, and the modes. There's mission mode, which is like a TDM where you have to kill the enemy in a certain amount of time, or until they kill you. There's a real TDM, where you actually respawn and have some counter at the top of the screen. It seems to go down, so it's probably going down when someone gets killed, depending onthe team.

Then there's Vehicle-Only mode. I don't really like the vehicles in this game, so I didn't play it, but I'm sure it's just that, a war between a bunch of people in vehicles. Really, why would you play an FPS for a vehicle-only mode? If you're gonna do that, play something like Space Cowboy.

Alright, anyway, it was decent, and I mean just decent. 5 out of 10. Unless you're really into this kind of game, I don't recommend you get it. I really like FPS, but I don't really think I can play this game for more than a week, even if I force myself.

That's the primary gun, meaning it's the most basic of guns that comes with each class and they're not the strongest.

That said, the classes are much different. Maybe not THAT much different, but different, none the less. For example, heavy infantry units suck, and like every other single game in existance scouts are good.

Correction: it really isn't vehicle only, they're just really large maps with more vehicles.
