WarRock
 

This game is definitely worth checking out! I believe there was a thread prior to the crash so I feel this is a good time to begin anew. The previous beta was later shut down but they've just re-released their open beta with notable improvements!



Official Screenshots


This game features 5 classes. The medic, engineer, commando, scout, and heavy weapons all feature unique items. While the scout and commando can carry grenades, medics and engineers only hold healthkits and wrenches that heal players and vehicles respectivly. The heavy weapons specialist can only use rocket launchers and anti-tank mines. Weapons run the usual gambit of pistols, rifles, SMGs, Uzis, and rocket launchers. A new feature has been added where you earn money that can be used to buy a (small) assortment of weapons for each class. Vehicles in general have been updated to include boats, helicopters, and jet fighters. New tanks have been been added which bolsters the already solid amount of land vehicles available.

There are three gametypes, each with their own assortment of maps:

Mission Mode - Here your team is tasked your team with planting a bomb in the enemy base. This is extreme close-quarters and if you get killed you can't spawn until a team wins or loses. Small-sized, 16-player maps.

Infantry Combat - Two teams fight for different bases/spawn points located on the map. A teammate must be within the radius of an enemy base's flag for (roughly) 2 uninterriupted minutes before it is captured. Your team is alloted a number of tickets which decrease with each friendly death and the first team to 0 loses. Medium-sized, 24-player maps.

Vehicle Warfare - Two teams duke it over a sprawling map littered with a number bases. Many of these bases include docks, helipads, and landing strips for the vehicles previously mentioned. Encampments include flak and AA guns. Large-sized, 40+ player map.

Now, it's quite easy to label this as a Battlefield knock off. I can assure you that even though there are many likenesses, this game has an entirely different feel. The controls are rather smooth and the engine won't bring the average computer grinding to a halt.

I suggest you check it out! :D

I played the previous beta with friends for awhile when it was first released and enjoyed it. Back then I hadn't played Battlefield so it was all new to me, but now having played battlefield, I would agree that it has a different feel. Such a thing is hard to describe but I know what you mean.

I think i'll go find this now, can't wait to give this a try.

I've been playing this since they released the new beta last weekend. It's cool you can buy weapon upgrades through EXP money called Dinar, but you only rent them in 3, 5, 15(?), and 30-day increments. It's good that way, though--it gives you an incentive to play more.

P90 and auto Glock FTW.

Indeed!

I had a classic moment where my RPG expired at the most inopportune time. I dashed away from a tank, rolled behind a structure and got into prone position. The moment I was about to fire a rocket my RPG vanished from my inventory and left a message saying, "Item has Expired!"

I was promptly eaten up by the tank's miniguns. Next time I bought it for 5 days worth of time instead of 3! :D

I used to play this alot when it was in its first beta a few months back but then it only had the first episode thus didn't have all the vehicles and maps which I so longed to play.

I'll download and give the new features a shot tonight.

I like how rolling gives you an actual chance of survival in a firefight.

Nice find. ANyways, they didn't improve it ^^, they added what kWarrock has on to international version.

We should make a GFF user list who plays Warrock. And make a clan >.>

Yea.. If anyone is even interested anymore! :edgartpg:

I'm hopping on the servers right now just to take some better screenshots.. I play on the US-East server and am usually found in the Infantry channel!

This is sad. When I mean sad, I mean it is SAD how people just passes up this great free FPS. Sure it is FREE, but that doesn't mean it is POS like halo demo.

Anyways, my name is Milkis, if you see me say hello =O:biggrin:
