best free game EVER!
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 10:39 am
download the international version of Guns Online, it's got to be the best free game i've ever played!
(sadly, i beleive that the server isn't the best, it took me 1.5 hours to download, max. speed was 25.5kbs, and i have cable...)
It's an odd MMO/3rd person shooter with both rpg and shooter elements
you create a character, choose his class, and get playing! each class has their own set of weapons they start with that you can upgrade further down the road
--classes--
i can't remember half of them, but the assassin and gun preist are good ones. my character's the last one with dual minics (revolvers), a rusty knife, 2 health kits and 2 armor repair kits. i'd advise against using axion knights because they're not that great at long distances, and they're best at "n00b spraying" (or, rather, "spraying and praying")
--weapons--
you start off with
1. a gun
2. a melee weapon
3. and 2 special weapons
later on, you can buy a secondary gun, and upgrade your melee weapon, and buy different special wepons.
melee weaps:
knife - something that will get you embarassed
katana - slower than kodachis, but more powerful
kodachis - faster than katana, but less powerful
guns:
pistols - good
smgs - spray 'n pray
shotguns - close range pwnage
assault rifles - nice accuracy, good
machine guns - andvanced spray 'n pray
rocket launchers - good for just blowing the hell out of everything
--control--
you move with WASD, jump with space, and aim and shoot with the mouse. all chat is ENTER and team chat is '. in-game, you can look at the scorelist and pings with TAB and bring up the in-game menu with ESCAPE.
with a gun out, double-tapping W, A, S, or D will make you dive in that direction
with a melee weapon out (Katana, Knife) double-tapping W, A, S or D will make you move a short distance in that direction very fast.
you reload with R (or click the mouse when you empty a magazine) and change weapons with either the number keys above WASD or the mouse wheel
with a melee weapons, you do a normal attack by clicking the mouse, a lunge-type attack with the right mouse button, and you can charge up your sword/knife when you stand still and hold down the left mouse button.
and now, the cool moves...
you can climb, jump, and run on walls! simply run towards a wall, and hit jump right before/as you hit it, or jump at a wall and jump again right before/as you hit it. with a knife/sword out, you can jump at a wall, right-click before you hit it, and stick your sword/knife in the wall and hang there for a bit.
try mixing up wal running, hang, jump, and weapon switching/shooting to get some cool moves.
advanced moves can be made by using slashes (with melee weapons, of course) after wall jumps/runs to give you control to move (like, to do another wall jump/run...)
