WarRock

Version: 1

F2P FPS

Pros: Free,

Easy to learn,

Reasonably good graphics,

Low system requirements,

Fast-paced action,

Variety of weapons/veichles,

Well designed maps,

3 (will soon be 4) different game modes,

Some teamwork with various classes (but not much),

Great community/forums.

Cons: I have played this game since the beginning of open beta, and have to say that the retail version as a bit of a disappointment. First of all, instead of fixing the lag problem, K2 made its quite a bit worse. I used to be able to play this game at HIGH settings with dynamic lighting and shaders ENABLED. However, now I am reduced to playing the game at LOW-MEDIUM settings with the effects DISABLED.

Retail updates such as the map restrictions (certain maps require a P2P membership)and weapon level requirements are very unwelcome IMO; for example, K2 made the map 'Harbour Ida' (probably the most popular map during open beta) for members only. However, F2P players are allowed to join the room once a member has created and chosen that map. Also, weapons such as my personal favourite, the P90, have very high level requirements (lvl 16); this is quite frustrating as it took me quite a while to get to this level during open beta.

Well, its still a great game; I'm just hoping that K2 opens the forums to let in the multitude of complaints and suggestions from their concerned players and community. Once these problems are fixed, Warrock will once again be, in my eyes, an excellent first-person shooter.

Soldier Front

Version: 1

Good Tactical FPS

Pros: Teamwork is a must in order to win in the 'team battle' game mode (which is a good thing as opposed to WarRock's 'Rambo' style of play).

Reasonably nice graphics (comparable to WarRock) and well designed maps (however, only a few are available in the current open beta).

A nice array of weapons (from sniper rifles to pistols to shotguns - again, more will be available in the final release).

Much easier to level up than in WarRock; in addition, the game keeps track of important player statistics such as kill/death, survival, winning percentages - head shots and completed missions, as well as your forfeit rate (in order to indicate those who frequently disconnect during games).

So far 4 or 5 different forces are available for you to choose from.

Cons: Of course, there are the many glitches in the map; most include going inside walls, mountains, crates etc. The only other thing I would found troublesome was their SP (the ingame currency) system. You only get SP during your first promotion, and afterwards, only after you SP recharge bar has been filled. This normally takes a very long time, and only serves to give u a measley 10k SP. For comparisson, repairing a combatant weapon such as the AUG costs around 100SP/game (sniper rifles such as the PSG require around 125SP/game to repair). Guns are yours once you purchase them; no need to rebuy them ofter they expire as in WarRock. FYI, most automatics cost around 20K SP, pistols go for 15K SP, while the shotguns sell for a whopping 40k SP. However, special equipment are available to buy (such as masks, helmets, body armour etc.) that supposedly increase the ammount of SP/XP you earn per kill. These, however, have a 7 day limit and must be repurchased.

At the moment, I am a First Lieutenant and have gone through 2 SP recharges (I'm halfway through my third). I found that I'm running out of SP fast and can only afford to keep a single weapon due to the expenses of repairing weapons and repurchasing equipment.

I hope Gijji will fix these problems in the future. All in all, its a great game.

Corum Online Game Client

Version: Open Beta

Waiting to play..

Pros: Graphics look nice

Many classes to choose from

Quest/party driven storyline

Free

Cons: Well, I downloaded it and installed it, but after running the autopatch, the game will not start. I hear from the forums that this is a very common problem and that they released a fix for this. However, most people (including myself) have found the ftp site provided to be nonfunctional. A download with this fix incorporated into it is supposed to be released in the future. Until then, I'll wait...
