The maps vary somewhat, thankfully, and which map you choose also involves a change in strategy, but you’ll usually just try and do a Rambo in team death match, which works if you’ve got the skill. There are small maps with lots of cover; big maps covered in darkness with sudden turns, leaving you ready to shoot at a moment’s notice. There are also medium sized maps with lots of different rooms and twists and turns that will leave you expecting to be caught off-guard at any moment. Even with the different play-styles each map has, the number of maps available is small. Of course, this game is still in beta and will (hopefully) see an increase in the maps available.
Compared to other FPSs, in terms of looks and hype, this game falls awfully short. In fact, most of this game’s negative hype is due to it’s lack luster graphics, which are at about the level of a PS2 launch title, but the lack of graphics makes this game accessible to just about anyone with a
PC who is willing to give this game the chance it fully deserves. In terms of gameplay, the only game I can think of that gives you this level of excitement kill after kill, is Call of Duty 4 and CoD World at War. This game can reach the level of those two games just by having a simple graphical overhaul to quiet the naysayers.
In short, this game is definitely worth the download and install, no matter what type of computer you have. This game is vastly overlooked just because its graphics are not taxing the fastest of gaming PCs, and its gameplay is entirely ignored. If you have the time to spare, download it and give it a try, what have you got to lose besides some hard drive space that can be easily recovered?
This game is certainly a good game with great potential!
