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.
