Art Of Free War

When I buy a high quality video game, I typically pay around $50. I also usually have high expectations to get what I paid for. I never would have thought that there would be a free game with the superiority of something you would normally pay big bucks for. Well, I got news for you. There’s a new first person shooter (FPS) game that’s completely free!

War Rock is a downloadable game that features quality graphics and effects you would expect from a very good commercial game. The gameplay is similar to what you would see in Battlefield 2, and features spawning and frantic online fights including vehicles and aircraft. I did spend the money to purchase Battlefield 2, so I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of War Rock. It’s Korean-made, so I guess I would call it a Korean knock-off of Battlefield 2, sort of like the knock-off name brand purses you would find there too.

War Rock features a messenger system that provides support to the game’s community. It adds to the trading system between players. Various game modes are available to use, such as conquest or death match. You can choose from five character classes: engineer, medic, patrol, assault or anti-tank. Depending on your character’s level, you can buy your own weapon by battle point or game money. You start your ranking from the very bottom at Private Second Class, and work your way up to General.

Some of the personal weapons you can acquire include the knuckle (good ‘ol punches – bring an enemy down silently at close range), pistol, rifle, submachine gun, sniper rifle, anti-tank weaponry, anti-tank mines and grenades. I personally like anything with big explosions, so those TMA_1A anti-tank mines come in handy. Unlike the other weapons, you cannot recharge them and they lose ability once detonated by the enemy force. If I play a scout, my other favorite is the M24 sniper rifle to take out enemy targets from afar. It’s equipped with a two-stage zoom function, what you normally see in a FPS game.

As for any bugs in the game, there’s no support for it, so you’re stuck with what you have. The other thing to remember is when you download it, don’t use your Firefox browser. For whatever reason, it will not work. Just stick to the standard Internet Explorer.

Download your own free copy of War Rock at www.warrock.net. It is only available for the PC and the free period will not last forever, but they haven’t decided when to end it yet.
