At the moment, there are two online shooting games out there that tops my list, and if I'm lucky, it's in your list of best online shooting games as well. I'm talking about APB Reloaded and Global Agenda. I've tried both and they were great, but I decided to stick with Global Agenda due to the mere fact that my Hardware is having trouble running APB. For those who are planning or playing Global Agenda, I have something nice to give out.
You may know that Global Agenda is indeed free to play, but you have an option of purchasing the game for a one time fee to become an elite agent. The elite agent matrix offers faster experience and the opportunity to receive end game rewards. If you decide to purchase this package here are some 30% discount coupon that may help you out.
*Note: these codes only work when purchasing Elite Package in global agenda, nothing more.
This review has been pushed back more and more due to school work and mainly, my addiction to other games. Most of us have already played or heard about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Since this is a VERY late review, I will no longer linger around with details for I am sure that 99% of those who are familiar with this game has already judged it. Instead I'm going to lay down the pro's and cons of COD:MW2 just for the sake of FINALLY posting this review that I had pushed backed for months.
Pros -Weapons has now been upgraded with many modification to suit your style and situation your in -Drastically changed the way you fire 'from the hip' and firing 'from the sight'. You can almost empty an entire clip without hitting any enemies when you fire from 'your hip'. -AI is better than the old one, they are now more irritating. -GREAT storyline -New tougher enemies and weapons that come with it. -New features like snowmobile and killing enemies while hanging from a mountain. -Mostly focused on Multiplayer due to the fact that MP has A LOT of modes
Cons -Campaign was a bit... too short. -Coop has been limited to some maps not the entire campaign itself unlike COD: World at War. -ATI graphics card might have some problems unlike NVIDIA users, but there is a patch somewhere that fixes this.
This review is a little late, but what the hell. XD
Having been released a month ago, Left 4 Dead 2 still remains as one of the most played game all over the country. Aside from the new set of survivors, L4D2 also upgraded their Zombies. Now you're not limited to using Hunters, Smokers, and Boomers as a few more infected Zombies were added, the Spitter, the Charger, and my personal favorite, the Jockey.
L4D2 still has the same game play as the first one, only you can upgrade your guns now, with exploding ammo and laser pointers. Oh and, the guns are a little more kick-ass this time, but you probably won't use it as much since melee weapons were also added. From crowbars to Xeph's favorite katana, I doubt you'll even remember that you have a gun. I still love my magnum, though, so I rarely use the melee weopons. Sadly, you can't equip all of them... HAHA.
A few things for support were added, like the defibrillator, which ressurects dead team mates. And the Adrenaline shot which sort of works like pills. Oh, and btw, a boomer vial is added to, it fits in the bomb slot where our beloved pipe bombs and molotovs are placed.
Here's the thing though, you have to make lots of friends to play this game, since the AIs aren't much fun to play with, they can't even help you survive that much. L4D2 is much more challenging than it's predecessor, it's really a prick when you don't have anybody to play it with. So go socialize, you loner! Just remember though, more friends mean more people to share that last batch of medkit with. XDD
Enjoy!!!
P.S. Here's a little guide for killing those big-ass Tanks.
Recently there has been a surplus of FPS games that came out, and leading the pact is the most anticipated FPS of the year, COD: Modern Warfare 2. But I'm not here to review or even talk about how awesome Modern Warfare 2 is (not yet), instead I'm here to talk about another FPS game that has the potential yet fell a little too short on the bar that Modern Warfare has placed since its release. Operation 7 is a new MMOFPS that offers some unique features that I have not yet seen in other MMOFPS, one of these is fully customizing your arsenal from barrel to stock.
Unlike most MMOFPS out there, Operation 7 offers a huge amount of customization of weapons, you are not limited to the default weapon stats, if you feel you need a bit more control, you can actually change the barrel of your weapon so you have more control at the expense of accuracy. You can experiment with all types of weapon combination to suit your style or simply mod your current weapon depending what map you will play on. Operation 7 also offers some unique game modes aside from your typical Death Match, one of these is "Head Hunting" mode wherein teams must kill the other team's General/Leader to gain a point in the round. This mode can range from a few minutes to a very long game depending on how the teams defend their general as well as plan the assassination assault of the opposing team's General.
As you know, most free MMOFPS games have limited duration weapons when purchased. This kind of system might be a burden to casual gamers specially for those who love to play MMOFPS. You have to keep playing or buy your weapons using real cash just to sustain the upkeep of your arsenal. In Operation 7, once you buy a weapon, it is permanent, that's right, if you are a casual gamer and have to take a break from playing, you can always come back anytime to find your gun still there, waiting to be used for ass kicking. The only thing you have to maintain is repairing your gun every match and buying ammunition which has a duration but they're usually cheap.
So for those Gun enthusiats like me, you will have fun experimenting on different gun mods that Operation 7 has to offer. and the Best part of it, after making your gun from realistic parts, you can take it out and blow someone's brain with it.
But, like any other game in the planet, there is a downside. Some of the effects aren't realistic in a way, like the sprint is unusually fast for a human being, but the idea of designing your own gun makes up for it. So, WTH, right?
Recently my computer broke down leaving me with no graphics card for a week. Within this week I researched some flash games that requires little or no graphics card to play just to kill my boredom. I was surprised that there are a lot of MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Games) out there that have a lot of potential but are easily overlooked by better looking games. On the course of this coming week I will try to introduce to you some of these flash games that have very little system requirements.
The first game that really caught my attention was EA's Battlefield Heroes. This third person shooter game has a little bit of RPG element into it. The best part of this game is that you really have to use some tactics when you confront other players in the game. So this is not your typical shoot-em-up till their dead kind of FPS. There are 2 factions in Battlefield Heroes, the Royal Army and the National Army. These 2 factions are completely the same in terms of classes and weapons, the only difference is how their classes and weapons look. There are a total of 3 classes per faction, the Gunner, Soldier and Commando. Each class is an equivalent to your typical tank,healer and rogue in other MMORPG except in Battlefield Heroes, they all carry guns. EA really did a great job blending RPG and FPS in a war oriented game.
Lets talk about Battlefield Heroes' class, first of the gunner. The gunners are the designated "meat shield" they have the most HP but moves the slowest in the game. Don't let their title as "tank" fool you, they can dish out a lot of pain if you find yourself staring at the other end of their heavy machine gun or if you're unlucky enough, a rocket launcher.The Gunner's heavy weapons makes them a threat to be reckoned with specially if you encounter them in close range combat.
The second class is just in between the gunner and the commando, the soldier. Although the solider is the designated medic in the game, they can still dish out a lot of pain in close-mid range combat. Soldiers, like and other healers in MMORPG are most effective in groups, not only can he heal his team but he has an ability on which he grants his nearby allies the ability to see enemies through walls.
The last class in Battlefield Heroes is the commando, or a rogue counterpart in your typical MMORPG. These sneaky snipers have the ability to dish out a lot of damage in a safe distance, they lack the health that other classes posses but makes up for it in speed. Being the fastest and most fragile class in Battlefield Heroes, expect that if you are spotted without your cloak on, everyone will be gunning for you. Aside from superior long distance damage dealing class, this class has the ability to wreck havoc on the battlefield. The commando can plant "Troop Traps" to blow anyone sky high if they get close enough, they can "Mark a Target" for everyone in your team to see even through walls and lastly use a poison blade if anyone comes in melee range of the commando.
Aside from different abilities, all classes carries an anti-tank sticky dynamite to make sure that if ever a team lacks a Gunner, they can still take out those pesky tanks. I really like this because I played a lot of war games that has heavy armor on it, and majority of the time these heavy armors rule in the battlefield if your team lacks that rocket carrying soldier. In battlefield heroes tanks are in par with the soldiers which makes thing more fun for everyone.
Now your thinking that this isn't your typical first person war game, but there is another thing that makes Battlefield Heroes unique, and that is it's humor. That's right, you read it right, I said humor, EA manages to put some humor in their game, and again, they did a great job doing it. From the wacky sounds and funny taunts it's really hard not to have fun in Battlefield Heroes, win or lose majority of the time you will have fun. Who said you need a very expensive PC to play a fun war game?
Crysis is an FPS Game, it's been around for quite some time now. Xeph had fun playing it (he finished the game in 2 days, lol)! Anyway, we saw this awesome video of Crysis and thought we'd share it with you. It's not real time gameplay, just something gamers came up with. Enjoy!
This might be a late review, but since our blog didn't exist when Dead Space was released I guess there's no better time to give my review about it today. Dead Space is a horror survival game where you have to fight your way through mutated human beings. You play Isaac who's on a mission to find his wife on a the mining ship "Ishamura". What's the difference between Dead Space and the majority of the horror survival games out there? Well, Dead Space has some unique features, one of which is your mutated enemies are vulnerable when you shoot/cut their limbs, not their head. I'm not a big fan of horror survival games, but I did enjoy Dead Space so I thought it's worth a review. At first it might be hard for some people to play Dead Space due to the odd camera angle. But the slightly uncentered 3rd person view isn't there by mistake. I found out that being attacked from behind and actually seeing it without turning around makes me jump off my seat most of the time. Another factor that makes this truly a horror experience is that sometimes your enemies are playing possum, lying on the floor until you come too close and they pounce on you. Aside from faking dead, your enemies sometimes transform corpses into mutated aliens infront of you. Dead Space also introduces two unique objects, the stasis and kinesis module. The stasis module can slow fast obejects to a crawl while the kinesis module lets you moves objects from afar and use them as weapons. Both these modules help you in though encounters and some puzzles scattered throughout the game. Although I'm not a huge fan of horror survival games, Dead Space offers a long and interesting story line that will keep you occupied for quite some time. If you are a fan of horror survival games then you should definitely try this game out. And for those who are like me, not much of a fan of this kind of genre it's worth a second look. I enjoyed this even though it scared the crap out of me most of the time.
Exteel is the latest online third person shooting game to hit SEA. Although I'd like to clear out that this game is not new, it has been launched in other countries for quite some time now, the only reason why it's such a hit now at SEA is because of the IP block on other countries. Exteel is your typical third person shooting game with your usual FPS feel to it. Players will have a chance to build, design and arm their mechanaughts and battle other players in a non stop killing frenzy.
There are 5 games modes, Death Match, Team Death Match, Capture the Flag, Territory Control and Last Stand. In Death Match, players go against each other without any allies which means it's everybody for themselves, player with the most kills win. Team Death Match is the same as DM only you have allies, once again the team with the most kills win. In Capture the flag, each team are given 10 minutes to capture each other flag and successfully make it to their base, the team with the most flags captured, wins the game. In Territory Control, teams must capture a neutral or an enemy aerogate to win. The teams are given a main aerogate or a base, if by chance your enemy captures your team's main aerogate you instantly lose the round. The team with the most points win. Last Stand is a Player vs Computer Match, the objective of the game is to defend your aerogates from the non-stop flow of enemy drones. Each game is timed and can only run for 12 minutes, but the Room's Master may set the time shorter if he wants to.
Weapon choices are easy and flexible. Blades, Rectifiers, Shields, Spears, SMGs, Rifles, Shot Guns and Rocket Launchers/Cannons can be paired with each other. Of course this depends on the player's game play. The skills you buy also depends on the weapons your mech is using. Your mechanaught's armors can also be customized, from Light (very agile but poor armor) to Standard (not so agile but better armor) or Heavy (poor agility but thick armor). Your armor's colors can also be changed.
All the upgrades are bought either by credits or iCoins (real money). Credits are earned after finishing games. Again, like most MMOFPS most items you buy from Exteel's shop are temporary, they do wear off over time. So unless you want to play this none-stop or you plan on spending money just so your gears won't expire you will get left behind in some point. Gameplay wise, Exteel is a fast, intense action third person shooting game. On the long run, you will have to spend a lot of your time and money so you will not fall behind.
*Due to Xeph's injury and with school starting, our posts are a little slow these past few days.* *I updated the game modes, there seems to be a new patch, just new it yesterday, sorry.*
Had a bad day? You feel like you want to shoot someone? Please don't, at least not in real life anyway, haha! You can take it out in Wolf Team, one of our favorite MMOFPS Game. This Summer, Mobius introduced Wolf Team to the Philippines, but the game has been running long before that. Xeph discovered it last year, and well it's quite addicting.
Wolf Team isn't just like any other MMOFPS, it allows you to transform into a wolf (and who doesn't want that?). So when your tired of shooting your enemies, all you have to do is press 3, once you're a wolf, go ahead, don't be shy, rip them apart! Wolf Team also provides you with 6 Game Modes to choose from, DeathMatch, Destruction, Conquest, Wolf Conquest, Ex-Conquest, and Ice hold. In DeathMatch all you have to do is kill and respawn, whichever team gets the highest score at the given time will win. Destruction on the other hand is much like Counter-Strike, red team needs to plant the bomb and successfully detonate it to win while the blue team needs to prevent the red team from planting the bomb. They later introduced Destruction S2, same game play only the blue team are wolves and the red team are humans. Conquest tests your team's Team Play, you all have to work together to capture all the bases to win, and protect each base while doing so. Wolf Conquest is much like Conquest only it's a Human vs Wolf match (it's my favorite among the Conquests! LOL!). Ex-Conquest is Conquest and Wolf Conquest combined! And last but not the least the newly added game mode, Ice Hold. In Ice Hold you are given a certain amount of time to eliminate all your enemies, and your able to resurrect your team mates during the round.
The clans are called Prides and Wolf Team has a great clan system. More active members means more experience points. Prides even have their own Battle Server, where they basically challenge other prides in a match. Every time your Pride wins you gain Reputation Points and have a chance to win a prize every month, depending on your Pride's Reputation Points. (Cool, huh?)
A feature that stood out to me the most is the Rivalry, Xeph also loves this one. Every time you kill a player, the game counts it. Rivalry comes up when you and another player have been killing the hell out of each other for the same number of time (or close) and there's a bonus every time you kill him again and again and again...and well you got the point. Personalized fun I might say, haha. That's competition intensified. LOL. Egos get hurt so watch out for trash talk and pure player bashing.
Wolf Team's audio will not only pump you up it will also keep you smiling every time you kill, believe me, once you hear Baby Wolf through your speakers you won't stop giggling. There's a wide variety of weapons and wolves to choose from. And a whole lot of maps to play in! It's free, so that means, it has an item mall. But don't worry, it's cheap and it's worth it. So the next time you have a bad day, you know where to turn to, or turn into.
Alright, so this year's E3 has come to an end, so we decided to share with you our most anticipated games coming later this year. Watch, Enjoy and DROOL!!!
Today I introduce you to one of the most clever MMOFPS-RTS game I have yet to play, Tremulous. There are two opposing factions that you can play in Tremulous, these are the Humans and Aliens, having their own sets of unique abilities and structures to rip each other apart. Besides point-click shooting mayhem, Tremulous spices things up with the ability to build your base anywhere on the battlefield! This unique system provides players an RTS (Real time Strategy) feel of the game, not just shooting around and scoring points throughout the match. Team play has a big role in this FPS-RTS game wherein players must cooperate with each other to attack and, most of the time, defend their base from the opposing faction.
From the start of every match, players must meet a kill quota for them to achieve a higher rank of technology/evolution, called "Stage", unlocks more building and arsenal at their disposal. This system of achieving a higher faction "Stage" plays a big role in a match, if your team dies too many times too quickly, the other force might crush your team due to the simple fact that they have more arsenal at their disposal. This kill system not only promotes team play among players, it also paves way to strategic positioning of base defenses depending on the current game situation.
One of the two factions you can play in Tremulous are the Humans. Humans specialize on technology and long range arsenals to annihilate the Aliens, ranging from a chainsaw to a plasma rifle. As humans progresses through their "Stage" they gain better base defense including the dreaded tesla coil that instantly kills any unevolved aliens who wishes to sneak inside the human base. This faction relies heavily on team play because aliens have the ability to "sense" where they are, specially a rookie human who ventures from the safety of their base alone. Unlike the Aliens, human structures do not self repair so they must attend to it from time to time, because if one structure gets destroyed, it will explode and damage anything within it's radius. One of the feared human arsenal is their battle suit which provides them with high defense and immunity to head swipes from aliens, partnered with a rocket launcher, this walking fortress is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
The second faction in Tremulous are the Aliens. These aliens specialize on tearing humans up close. They have the ability to "sense" where their enemies are, and to stick to walls and ceilings to ambush their enemies. As aliens progress through their "Stage" they are given a choice to evolve into more cunning and larger aliens. Unlike human structures, all alien base items can regenerate without any assistance, aside from that, aliens can build most of their defenses on walls and ceilings. One of the alien's base defense that humans always watch out for are their trappers which immobilizes humans within it's range for aliens to snack on. Aside from the alien's clever base defenses, they can choose to evolve into different alien forms that have their own special abilities. These abilities ranges from the fast jumping marauder that can zap multiple enemies with electricity, or the feared Tyrant that can kill an unarmored human in one swipe of it's massive claws.
All in all, if you like first person shooters with a bit a of Real time Strategy in the mix, and you don't mind graphics for that matter, you might want to take a look at Tremulous. Also, Tremulous is an open source game that runs on quake engine, with that in mind, there are a lot of contents from players and developers making stuff for this game as it grows. For those who has a Mac or Linux, rejoice! this game runs in Windows, Mac and Linux!
