WarRock : Review

WarRock is a thoroughly enjoyable mmofps from K2 Network. The game boasts 3 different game types, 5 different player classes, and an assortment of weapons and vehicles across a decent collection of maps. When you connect to a server you are given the option of a game type. Close Quarters games can have up to 8 players total, the objective is to sneak around a map and fulfill your objective without getting killed. For a beginner I suggest Urban Ops, which is where most of the traffic is and where you’ll most likely be spending the majority of your time. An Urban Ops game can have up to 24 players, the objective is to kill a lot of people. A Battle Group game is similar only the maps are much larger, allowing 32 players, and are populated with a series of large vehicles. During gameplay you have different player classes to choose from. Medics can heal themselves and others, engineers can repair vehicles, snipers snipe, heavy troopers use weapons best suited for attacking vehicles, and the assault class is a general infantry fighter. The game suffers from from a disheartening amount of lag at times and hackers are a definite problem. Some have called the game ugly, I have no problems with the graphics however. The game community is a decent one, outside the hacker problem, and updates roll out every few months or so. Some people find their cash shop system unfair, allowing players to pay money for superior weapons. Personally, I don’t care. In the end skill and ability usually even out the playing field. All in all I enjoy WarRock thoroughly. (Though I ‘d enjoy it more if there were less hackers.)
