What the fuck, Google?

I didn't know what chamming is, and I keep hearing it, so I decided to look it up. Well, apparently Google thought "Maybe he means charming?" but then second guessed itself so apparently...I'm getting results for both charming AND chamming. What the fuck. I love Google, but damn that's really annoying and disappointing. Plus, I can't find a way to fix it other than maybe just manually fixing this one search, but seriously. It shouldn't NEED fixing. Either search for what I searched for, or tell me what you THINK I'm trying to search for...not both at the same time.

Just found this tidbit:
Search exactly as is (+)
Google employs synonyms automatically, so that it finds pages that mention, for example, childcare for the query

• [ child care ] (with a space), or California history for the query [ ca history ]. But sometimes Google helps out a little too much and gives you a synonym when you don't really want it. By attaching a + immediately before a word (remember, don't add a space after the +), you are telling Google to match that word precisely as you typed it. Putting double quotes around a single word will do the same thing.

Project Blackout

I got a couple of friends to try this, and ironically I'm losing interest in it. It definitely has a bit more of a casual feel to it, IMO. One thing that makes it unique is that you don't really rent weapons for time; you buy them for 100 uses. Except if you buy them with points, which are the real life currency...in which case, you rent them. I think that's absolutely ridiculous. For those who buy weapons with credits, you basically use a weapon in 100 games and it's gone. Guns cost between 18,000 and 57,000 credits. I went 20/9 in first place for a match and only got 212 credits...not even enough for the gun I'm using to GET 20/9, which I personally like a lot since I don't have to use the crosshairs since it's one of the weapons that comes with an extension (Holographic sight, in this case.) I'm not putting this in the reject list because if you're the type of person that doesn't play enough to really justify renting weapons for periods of time, this would be the MMOFPS for you. Playing one match a day would make a weapon last over 3 months, which is a little bit more than the LONGEST rent duration I've seen. That said, you'd then either need to resort to crappier weapons or make a new account, which is where having a game with permanent weapons would really come in handy. Oh, and one other thing I forgot. You need to do a file check before launching the game, every time. Takes a while...it's kinda annoying.

Sudden Attack

I was actually a bit pleasantly surprised with this game. Considering how old it is (apparently the first MMOFPS, if I recall correctly) the graphics aren't actually that bad. You can feel this game a lot more than games like CrossFire or Combat Arms. There's definitely a small amount of weapons, and the game seems pretty basic.
One thing to note is that tt seems to have errors from time to time, such as a couple times while patching, although it did eventually succeed, and once while I tried running it just now. It also doesn't Alt+F4 so you have to use some other method if you want to minimize it for some reason.
At first, the game actually seems like a decent option. One thing that disappoints me a bit is the fact that you get a few weapons to start with but unlike some of the other games, nothing you can really rent a weapon with. You can rent for 1, 7, or 30 days. One thing that really discourages me is that sniping is very basic...and there's a one-shot-kill gun. It's quite expensive and is bolt action gun but still....no sway, no bullet drop, just aim, click, get kill. At least, it SEEMS like it should be that fucking easy, but somehow it's not. People manage to kill me instantly when I don't even see them, or when I'm unknowingly exposing a tiny sliver of my body, and yet I've clicked while aiming mid-chest and not hit them. I don't know if it's lag or what. It FEELS like it's lag but you don't really FEEL it as much - you just notice it, like "Oh wow, I apparently got shot while I was COMPLETELY behind cover" or "Oh, apparently I got a headshot while reloading" or "Oh, I wasted bullets on a corpse apparently" or even, as mentioned above, "Oh, I guess shooting someone in the middle of the chest isn't enough to make the shot...maybe bullets randomly go astray like they sometimes do in Op7 seemingly, no matter the "Accuracy" of the gun." Killing people is a hardly recognizable feat, and while sometimes it feels like you should have killed them half a magazine ago due to headshots, other times it feels like you just barely clicked and got a kill straight to the chest. I can't really stand this game any longer but if you love sniping and camping then this is definitely the game for you. Oh, and random grenades that SEEM like they were thrown right in front of you, just for you, although the only realistic explanation is pure luck. I hate the feeling that you just died and no amount of skill or equipment would have changed that.
Also, be careful - bodies can't pass through each other, so you can actually get stuck in some hairy situations because of a teammate. I haven't gotten killed because I couldn't retreat because a teammate was blocking me yet, but if I play any longer, it's only a matter of time, and that would piss me off to no end if a teammate was the cause of my death. Really, the only reason this isn't in the reject list is because if you like the idea of a one shot, one kill sniper rifle without needing headshots, this would probably suit you well.

CrossFire

Well, there's really not much to say about this game. It's pretty much a Counter Strike clone. One thing that I guess I somehow missed or ignored is that the GP weapons do, in fact, seem to be permanent, but you have to repair them like in Operation 7. One thing that I'm noticing though is that repairs seem pretty costly, so it's probably best to just save up for whatever gun you're going to want in the beginning and just use the M16 until you get it. When you earn 200 GP in a match and over 100 of it is spent on repairing your weapon, and weapons cost usually over 40,000 GP, it takes a while to make money. The only other notable thing is that it bored the crap out of me. I don't know if it was the small map or the long game time or what, but I just got so bored. You can't feel this game at all. Sometimes you seem to kill or die in like one body shot, and sometimes you can send tons of rounds towards their body or even their head and end up dying anyway.

The MMOFPS reject list

One of these games has the EXACT SAME TUTORIAL as Mission Against Terror. I can't remember which it is so I'll just mention it here. I THINK it was either KOS or CSO. I thought that was a bit odd. I think it was CSO, actually, and it had the exact same knifing, too.

Speaking of Mission Against Terror, the game seems...pretty average I guess. I didn't really try it much because as soon as you spawn, you are able to die. Not interested in either spawn camping or getting spawn camped. Not much I can really say about it other than that and the fact that it had too light of a feel for me. I wanted something more military based or at least something a bit more serious. -shrugs-
Oh, the weapons are permanent which is cool, but almost all of your money (at least when I played, I dunno, I didn't do as well with this game) goes towards repairing your gun.

Crazy Shooter Online is a complete and utter piece of crap. You dance to restore health slowly, the characters look like anime characters, there's so much lag and it's so unpopular that it makes it pretty much unplayable.

KOS: Secret Operations is poorly translated, not very popular and for good reason. The lag was horrible, and it felt like you died before you even SAW an enemy most of the time.

WarRock was a very poor overall experience. I couldn't feel it at all, and it couldn't even run at a playable FPS on my laptop, even at the lowest settings. That'd be less of a surprise if the game at least looked good. It doesn't. Especially at the lowest settings. Oftentimes I'd die and never have even seen an enemy. Of course, that might have been due to not knowing the map. Personally, I don't really play game modes other than deathmatch-type games, so the fact that most of the games were Demolition or whatever really disappointed me; almost 20 matches to choose from and all of them were either the wrong gametype, full, or password protected. Also, the controls are rather horrible and UNCHANGEABLE. Why the hell you spawn with your FISTS out is beyond me. Don't get me started on the rolling around. Come on now, I'm not Russian. I don't need to be doing frontflips mid-combat. Give me some SPRINT ability. If the game wasn't so laggy I could probably at least give it a FAIR chance, but I don't really have that ability. Still, it just doesn't look interesting.

I hate to list True Combat Elite here because it seems like a good game with plenty of potential. However, it doesn't seem very popular and every game I've tried to join, you have to download stuff. With my connection, I just can't sit there and wait for that kind of thing to happen just for something else to go wrong trying to join a game. Some day, once I've eliminated some more MMOFPS from my computer, I'll actually be persistent and patient enough to actually get into a game...some day....

I haven't spent much time in Combat Arms but I'm glad I gave it a second chance. It's not NEARLY as disappointing as I expected, although I did experience some almost inconceivably horrible lag. When you're moving and you're no longer even touching the keyboard, there's something wrong lol. Now, I went ahead and just rented a cheap weapon and at first I did alright. Lots of headshots and double kills, which is rather unlikely. Then I noticed one person join and they tore my ass up with the TAR-21. I don't know if it was due to the weapon, the skill, or maybe some other unforseen difference but somehow that one person totally changed my luck lol. Some of the weapons I wanted to rent needed a higher rank, so I was stuck with cheaper weapons. Not really sure yet how disadvantaged I am with having cheaper weapons, I guess time will tell. Oh, side note, it left behind 8 files and 80 registry items 80 registry items 80 registry items. Sorry, had to type it 3 types just to make sure I was typing it correctly.

Wow, it seems like Combat Arms has multiple one shot, one kill sniper rifles, and I have a feeling sniping is damn easy although I didn't bother trying and WON'T bother trying. I got 18 and 21 and only got that many kills because I spawn camped and got lucky and took the snipers by surprise. Seriously, there was almost nothing but snipers and it seemed like any time I moved from behind my safe little rock where I spawned, I just started a timer on my own death set for 10 seconds but would randomly decide to go off early. I got sniped no matter what path I took...I got sniped not taking a path at all...and I NEVER saw the people sniping me, and I never took any non-fatal sniper shots. I'm not one for accusing people of hacking but that is just a bit suspicious. Still, even given the benefit of the doubt, that doesn't say much for the ease of sniping and the power of sniper rifles. And poor map design. I guess if I had gotten used to the game, I'd know it was a sniper map and would have put the Uzi away. Oh, plus the claymores or whatever. Not a big fan of those.

Soldier Front just pissed me off today. I gave Soldier Front more than a fair chance which, honestly, didn't take long. The lag is horrendous and the game is very unpopular and dated. The first match I tried to join today didn't even load...well, maybe it did, I'm not sure. It was at the loading screen for the longest time, and then I heard "You lose" and so apparently I lost without even playing. That was cool. It's very apparently that it's laggy, that or the animations for moving are on crack. People's bodies randomly turn and spazz. The game also crashed on me a couple times. Plus you have to load the stupid ijji Reactor to start the game, which is even worse than the logging in via a website. Fucking terrible. Plus I have a feeling some of the snipers may be one shot, one kill, because I THINK I got killed with one shot to the body a few times. Not completely sure though. Don't care enough to even check, I just want this shit off of my laptop.
Probably not Soldier Front's fault, probably more of a REACTOR thing, but I thought it was funny that, when trying to uninstall Soldier Front, Revo Uninstaller found 174 files left...pretty much an entire folder was untouched. Now I have to exit Firefox so I can uninstall REACTOR...for some reason...
....what the fuck did the REACTOR uninstaller even DO? How do you "completely uninstall" something and leave behind 621 goddamn files?

Wolfteam

Wolfteam I'm actually getting a bit attached to. I started off really with just Operation 7, and decided to give the other MMOFPS' a second chance, and I'm really glad I did. Most of them seem to have a thing or two that set them apart from the other games of the genre, and for Wolfteam, that thing is definitely your ability to turn into a wolf. Wolves can only melee apparently, but they are stronger and faster and are more durable. Of course for people like me who aren't that interested in the wolf part, there is classic deathmatch. Sniping is very basic. No sway, no drama, just zoom in, boom, it zooms out, pulls the bolt back, and zooms back in. I'm sure there are better scopes but the default one is just a 4x zoom. From what I've gathered, the better you do in one life determines which weapon you can choose when you spawn next. There's a basic weapon and 3 other slots for loadouts. Different weapons need different amount of warrior points, which you get for getting kills and lose for shooting your stupid teammates that jump in front of where you're already shooting at an enemy. One nice thing is that, even with the permanent default weapons, you don't feel overwhelmed by massively powerful enemies, which is good, because in some games I feel like if you have the default weapon, you die WAY faster than your enemies. You can upgrade your weapons a bit, which I haven't had the chance to do yet. Other than that, it plays a lot like Counter Strike. You can rent weapons by 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. One bad thing about Wolfteam I've noticed is that I seem to have trouble staying connected for an entire match. I also notice lots of people complaining...it seems like in EVERY match there's people complaining about laggers, hackers, campers, and people complaining that they're not killing as fast as they should and that they're dying faster than they should. Someone actually accused me of hacking because I got multiple kills on him, and he apparently mistook my rifle for a shotgun somehow.

Operation 7

Operation 7 is my favorite so far and it really stands out. Most of the free MMOFPS are called "Counter Strike" clones, but Operation 7 is closer to Call of Duty really. It has aiming down the sights with all weapons, you can lean left and right, and the sniper scopes have sway and the ability to hold your breath. You can also attach night scopes, and some of the maps have both a day version and a night version. One of the things that really stands out is that, once you buy a gun, you own it. You have 5 weapon slots, although more can be purchased. You can also customize - or, more accurately, build - your weapon. Different things give different stat changes. For instance, longer barrels are more accurate while shorter ones offer more recoil. Guns themselves don't have damage stats - you have to rent the bullets, which you can do for as little as 3 days but because of both the price and how much you'll save, you might as well just rent them for 90 days. They don't cost much. Each round has its own damage. One gametype that, as far as I know, is unique, is headhunting. One person on each team is the general. The game is pretty much team deathmatch except the round is won when you kill the opposing general. Of course, to make it so the generals can't hide TOO well, every once and a while their position is shown on the radar briefly. It's not particularly popular but you can generally find rooms during the day. You have to be certain levels to use certain weapons, but if you buy it with nCash, it removes the level requirement. Also, the footsteps of your enemies and indeed, sound in general, takes a higher role of importance in this game supposedly. Other than that, it seems like a pretty typical MMOFPS in that it's horribly translated, the voice sucks, the interface isn't quite as good as it could be. The graphics are pretty good as compared to many of the others. Definitely worth checking out if you're tired of renting guns.
