War Rock -- Awesome FPS

Best... Free... Game... Ever...

I recently downloaded this game after a mad spree looking for a new FPS to delve myself into. I came across this in a google search and downloaded it out of curiosity. I looked at the screen shots and realized this could be a potential good game.

Anything I read about it said it was like Battlefield 2 + Counter-Strike. CS has been a favorite of mine since the beginning but I had always heard bad things about BF 2. After I downloaded the 400 megabyte beta client, I realized how awesome this really was.

I installed, and made an account (Foslock, lol) and started playing. At first, the interface was kind of a turnoff because I didn't know that this was in it's Beta phase. It is somewhat confusing and not very well explained.

This game is 100% online, and there is no single player. I am used to that and assumed correctly. When I started to play, I was simply stunned at how good the graphics looked. Even on my somewhat shitty Radeon 9600XT, the graphics looked almost as good as CS: S. Definitally not as good, but all the effects are present like HDR and a lot of other doodads.

The movement engine is more like BF but the weapon system is more like CS: S. For every online game you complete you get a certain amount of fake money. You can use this money to 'lease' guns for a certain amount of time (3 - 15 realtime days). This gave it sort of a MMO feel. Also, for every game you complete, and do well, you get more EXP which in turn levels you up. Nothing really happens when you level up except you get a new shiny badge.

Just like 64Digits :)

So pretty much, you all should download it, and even though it is glitchy, it is SO much fun. There are like 15 vehicles including a motorbike, a helicopter, and a wide assortment of tanks.

Look for me …Foslock… if you are cool enough to download.

For anyone who's wondering, the final "commercial" release comes out early next year, and it will STILL be free, but there will be an option to pay and get some 'bonus' features.

Please download it. IT'S SO AWESOME!!

I predict you'll no longer play this game in a week. I played it a while back and it started out great, but quickly got old.

..then again, it was back when it first came out, before they even had vehicles.

Looks good for a free game.

This blog, and SJF's awesomeness reminded me to play Darwinia when I get my laptop.

I downloaded it awhile ago, and played it nonstop for about a month. Then I got HL2 and all, and WarRock hasn't been run since.
