Well I got really bored the other day so I decided to download it and try it out, it looks pretty cool and the training was also alright.

But once in multiplayer I found it immenseley frsutrating and boring. You are stuck to only being able to view your team members. Now on a map you've never seen before and the majority of the players moving around VERY slowly or just flat out camping its impossible to even get a look at the map or where the enemy spawns or usually hides.

Stemming from that problem I found myself running blindly around not knowing where I really am going to be taken down from some experienced player hiding in some little dark spot. Wait around 5 mins just to try and explore a bit more of the map just to get cut down in the fist 2 mins again.

90% of the maps seem very bland and open and are a giant arse campout, or as soon as you stand up you are dead, and by the looks of things and from what people are saying on the servers theres hacks out for it. I also found grens to be a lil overkill especially when you can barely even see them.


Im not a total nub when it comes to FPS games and I do have the patience to learn a more tactical sided game and not just run around willy nilly like in counter-strike. Despite this I found the game to move way to slowly to be enjoyable.

I guess a problem is that its not super popular and I noticed theres not many nub friendly servers which makes it very hard to compete with experienced players.



I was wondering if theres any others on here who play or have played it and what you think of it?

I used to play this game quite a bit with a friend. I even managed to get myself up to the spec. ops level which was pretty fun.

When you first start you will get your arse handed to you over and over (and over). Its a lot more tactical and realistic than most shooters out there, which initially can be frustrating. There is also the points system which encourages teamwork, which I think is an awesome thing (assuming you are playing on their servers and actually keep the points). Its not all about getting the most kills.

When you get to the point where you have some experience are playing with people who have a clue the game gets immensly fun and you can seriously dominate using some solid tactics. Flanking people actually works!

Yep, I play most nights on the official W servers. I usually play CSAR.
I'm just about to get my 50 honor up.

Obviously, I like it.
