Pointless Battle (FPS) Review
By Big Toe on 11 July 2011


Pros: Fun Gameplay, decent number of courses, and real 3D :D

Cons: Awful graphics, AI is bad, no story, No controls menu, bad weapons

Needs some work, but good!

I like this game, I'm just gonna put that out there, however there are some huge issues with this game.

///GRAPHICS///
The graphics ranged from good to terrible, no offence. I mean, the soldiers had no feet, no mouths, and were completely unrealistic. Plus, when they died, their arms would disappear. The guns were good though, and I liked how the game was real 3D. I say cudos to you dude, because that's hard to accomplish. You get a 3 for good guns, and real 3D.
///SOUND///
The gun sounds weren't terrible, but weren't anything to remember; just so-so. If you ever find better gun sounds, be my guest to change them. My biggest problem here is that when the bots shoot, they don't have any signs that theyve actually shot. No gunfire, no muzzle flash, nuthin. This makes the game sometimes confusing, because I have no idea if they're shooting at me or not until I start to take damage. The Background Music was good though. If you added muzzleflashes, or sounds for the AI, or both, I would give this 4 stars. But for now, 2.
///GAMEPLAY///
OK, here we are, the cream of the crop. So let's just jump right in:
First, the good things: I thought the game was overall quite fun, having multipule maps, relatively balanced gameplay, and realistic warfare. I thought the instant play was really good, so don't change any of the good stuff. I think my favorite map is Dust smile
Now onto the bad: Firstly, the AI is WAY too unbalanced. At times, they can actually shoot through walls, or it at least it seems as such, but this dosen't always occur. All their bullets are spot on too. If I'm standing still across the map from them, they will always hit me, every time. That needs to be improved, like having a chance to miss their shot.
They also need more strategy, like flanking, taking cover, etc, instead of charging straight to their deaths.
Next, once you learn the secret, the game is too easy. running from side to side spraying and praying will never fail you, and they seldom hit you, which leads to lots of kills for you dB
Thirdly, The guns are terrible, No offense. Really, the only gun I ever used was the machinegun, and that suited my needs. I don't really see why anyone would use the special forces class, seeing as it's just the machinegun class, but with a slower fire rate. And the sniper was no good either. Until the bots get a little more stupid, sniping is a waste of time. The bullets have the same power as regular bullets from pistols do, so noscoping is out of the question, and once you shoot one of them, EVERY BOT ON THE OTHER TEAM shoots you full of holes before you can do anything about it.
Lastly, there's no way to heal or change your class. If you've been shot in the head, you just try to walk it off, because the only way to stop hurting is to die. Because of this, I found myself commiting suicide by charging head on into the enemy, just to either replenish my ammo, or to put myself out of my misery, xD
You get a 4, just because even with so many flaws (no offense), it's still so much fun smile
///STORY///
There is no story! So why am I here?
///INTERFACE///
It was okay, I didn't like having to use my F keys so much (I stress out over that sort of thing xD), and the controls were sort of hard to find, so I just learned it myself. Not much to say about it.
///OVERALL///
It has a lot of issues, but is still fun. Once you fix these problems, this might be a 5 out of 5 game. Keep it up smile
Also, one more suggestion: Grenades! I found myself in SO many situations where I was trying to find a secret grenade button or something, because I needed it SO bad dB

P.S: Please don't get angry at this, I'm not trying to be mean, I really do like this game dB

    @DefConTR - F keys are action key for the Studio computer. Not another computer uses F key for anything. You can see it, I saw a F key has a action.

    Don't you know about "Studio"? It's a computer made by a company who made that. I not telling you, it's a secret.

    Please understand, when he commented, we were in an argument, and he came here and to several other places to point out "flaws" in to comments.
    And in my defense, his comment was rather disoriented, and I didn't know what he meant by that.
    Also, I don't know what he means by "studio"

    Oops. Ignore that comment. I made that before i read your posts on my wall. but in his defense, he didnt go of topic. He was commenting of the F keys being action keys.
