Saw this game first at E3 and it looked pretty cool, a free FPS MMO with some RPG elements.

The open beta was finally released a few days ago so I thought I'd give it a try. It plays and looks a lot like Battlefield 2 but with persistant servers (or at least will have them after game goes "live"). It's from the same studio that made and runs Knights Online.

So if you're looking for a decent online FPS game and don't want to spend any $$$, check it out.

War Rocks

heh, kinda cheesy with the vehicles so far, but looks like it has potential.

This thing is a spawn campers's paradise.

Most common tactic I saw once things had gotten in a bit was sneaking up to the enemy spawn area and getting down on the ground and just waiting for people to spawn out.

I have to give it to them though. The vehicles look nice and you can tell one side from the other even at a fair distance. It was fun. I played it for several hours last night.

I ran about 50/50 on getting the spawn campers before they got me last night. was expecting it to be much worse.

Had fun with it...but it is a bit cheesy.....way too much run and roll going on

Its a good diversion from the daily grind....the big upside for me is .....

ITS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I had fun spawn camping in a Weasel or whatever the heck it is. Also its fun to watch the rag doll effect when you blast someone away when you get in an MBT and go rolling through town. Not enough hand grenades though for popping ambushes on sniper teams trying to get around into your rear area on maps like Emblem.

I saw this on a large map I was playing on last night. Was playing a scout and had myself perched on a hill top over looking an enemy base and saw this guy do one of those tuck rolls from the enemy base all the way to one of our nearby bases. I put a round through his head as soon as he stood up though but was still funny to see.

Experience points are a ***** to get.

I get errors every time I try to fool around with the practice on the Montana map.

I've never tried the training in it, could be that since this is only a beta that offline play might not be enabled yet.

Evidently it's online somehow, I had to "connect" before I could get there. I wanted to do a little training to get used to what was going on and the controls, I hate to just wander into something with no practice at all, and not knowing what's going on.

The last time it just plain locked up, I almost had to reboot to get it shut down.

I may fool with it some more later this evening.
