I am very much fascinated about shooter games, guns, bullets and cool assault gears, I started clicking triggers way back COUNTER STRIKE and have seen it transform in many versions, became an online platform and now having the latest version of COUNTER STRIKE Global Offensive, in fact if my shooter game experiences could be converted into real life counters perhaps I can be labeled as a heavy experienced soldier... or perhaps a veteran. But lets not talk about me and my history 101, Contract Wars.. yeah.. lets start with that.
Early shooters games that I experienced needed to be installed in computers, even online ones and whenever something is installed it occupies a memory space, that's why after having been called by the CALL OF DUTY and earning MEDAL of HONOR and all others.. I took a rest from clicking triggers and went on a different real-life quest. Soon after being away for about 9 months, in just that span of time, I noticed that the game world gave birth to a lot of shooter games and some of them are in a browser type platform, it was something new and interesting, shooter game as on browser page, but it didn't really catch me to a point of trying it out... not until I met a my friend "Shady".
By the sound of the bursting riffle I was lured to pip over his indulgence and there I saw it again.. guns, bullets and cool stuffs, I know this is not the first browser shooter game to be released in the gaming world but this one got my interest on it.
A browser game which can be logged thru FACEBOOK account. New guns and various features but still uses the basic W S A D keys, the jump space bar, the C crouch and clicks of the left-fire and right- aim mouse, key controls that I grew up with. And being just like any other curious individual I didn't waste time and tried it out. I wanted to know if I still got it...
During my personal undertakings with the game I noticed some quite unusual experiences..
First of all it's a BROWSER GAME which means, no serious installation and you can play it in any pc as long as it has internet connection, however the speed of the game and of the mercenary avatar will depend on the INTERNET CONNECTION SPEED, although computer specs is also a factor, but if you have a slow internet connection then I would not advise to do so because the loading of pages will definitely consume time, then when you're inside the game the PING will be very high and you will be a "sitting duck" for your opponents, so before you try this game out you better a have a stable internet connection or else you will never be able to give your best shooting skills and will not be able to appreciate and enjoy the game.
So, upon logging in and going thru the loading pages you will have this window loaded in your screen. Select your weapon, make sure to have a side arm pistol and equip your assault riffle.
Equip first your assault riffle before your proceeding with your game play or else you'll get in the game with only a pistol in your hand and its not gonna be good coz you'll have to exit the game entirely to be able to equip your riffle and start the loading pages all over again.
Select the QUICK MATCH option Choose your GAME TYPE/MODE and the LOCATION/PLACE or just go random with the "ANY" selection then click "OK".
For fast EXP acquisition I'd suggest you go on with the DEATHMATCH and kill everyone! but if you're more of a team player you then you may go on with TEAM ELIMINATION. When it comes to the area/ location of your battle zone I'd prefer CQB (Close Quarter Battles) type with sub machine guns or assault riffles, small area with a lot of corners such as the TERMINAL, EVAC etc.. but if you prefer long shots via sniper riffles or even assault ones, then the LUMBER MILL is perfect for you.
After the loading page goes 100% the READY button will appear just click it then you will be opted to choose between two teams.
THE B.E.A.R Battle Encounter Assault Riffle
and THE U.S.E.C. Unity Security
or just click the AUTOSELECT option its like the RANDOM in CS then the game will prompt a ready screen by clicking the LM and RM, once done, your all set for the hunt.
At first, you will have to adjust with your game play style and how things go around the game, but if you're an experienced player it will be easy to cope up and get a lot of kill scores, the more kills the higher your score but then careful not to get killed more often because you're total score will be measured by the number of KILLS and DEATH you acquire, as much as possible more KILLS and less DEATHS, do that and you will earn a line in the score board with your name on top places.
You'll know it if it's a KILL when..
if you're internet connection is great and you're PC specs are above the average plus your outstanding moves and skills.. then this one will not be so difficult... the DOUBLE KILL, I personally experienced this several times, it gives you high morale but then you'll get cocky then you'll end up getting killed.
If you get THREE consecutive KILLS, you will earn the "SONAR", activate it by pressing "3" then toss it on a strategic place.. I prefer areas where enemies take hiding coz when SONAR is deployed any insurgent who passes by reflects their location on your mini map giving you the advantage on knowing exactly where they are... although numbers do appear on your screen during SONAR deployment but I don't know exactly what it does.. perhaps as I continue my journey with this game answer will come.
Then there is that FOUR CONSECUTIVE kills without death.. with it you'll earn the "MORTAR STRIKE" and by that you know exactly whats gonna happen. Same thing.. activate it by pressing "3" then toss the signal device to navigate the MORTAR STRIKE.. drop it on groups to tear hell out of them.
If you aim for the head and be able to keep up with it while bursting your gun then you get the HEAD SHOT KILL
Then there is this LONG SHOT KILL when you kill an opponent via long distance shot.
When the game sessions comes to and end, a window will pop on your screen with the summary of the rankings.. SCORE, KILLS, DEATH and REPUTATIONS earned, as well as the number of LONGSHOT, HEADSHOT, DOUBLE KILL, and a lot more such as like this..
And just like any other soldier your status is represented by your level with a corresponding rank title.
The game has more other features that I am not yet familiar with coz I get more focused on bursting bullets on enemies, the way you bring the avatar, on how you react when you encounter enemy and how quick you resort to measures to counter your foes. Then there is that fulfillment when you manage to kill and be a able to walk away alive.. then kill again and again... like a frenzy but then you wont be able to go that much coz your riffle and pistol will eventually run out of bullets.
I'm not gonna say more about the game to keep the other elements in surprise, so try and give this game a shot and discover the them yourself. But perhaps just a few tips and strategies that over the years i have learned while playing shooter games that may prove helpful to you and some other shooter game players out there.
1. MASTER ONE MAP and FAMILIARIZE. Try to memorize the map's strategic locations and identify the common hiding places and re spawn areas.. why?.. because..
2. At the first seconds of the game ASSAULT the SPAWN AREAS immediately. (not cheating or anything but rather strategic game play)
3. Always walk on corners, BESIDE WALLS, CARS and TREES, do not let yourself be exposed to your enemy as you walk along the map.
4. CHECK YOU CORNERS, famous line from the COD MW. It means don't just thread along the map carelessly instead observe and move strategically from one place to the other and check for hiding enemies.
5. HIDE/ COVER THEN RELOAD. Never reload right in front of your enemy, always find a cover then reload.
6. DON'T FORGET YOUR SIDEARM PISTOL. Usually when you engage an enemy then suddenly you're riffle runs out of bullet, instinct will tend make you reload immediately and by the time you finish reloading you already ate a lot of bullets from your foe, try switching to your sidearm its faster than reloading.
7. ATTACK and SEEK THE ENEMY. Don't hide in one place then wait for opportunity go out and find it! Surprise you're enemy rather than be surprised by them.
8. Use the SHOOT WHILE SPINNING to the side technique. It means keep your aim to your enemy while you're moving to his sides.
9. When enemies carry SHOTGUNS and HEAVY SIDEARMS like MAGNUM, don't come close to them instead SHOOT WHILE WALKING IN REVERSE.
10. ALWAYS AIM FOR THE HEAD.
11. When doing long distance shot, aim then FIRE ONE CLICK at a TIME.
12. ENJOY THE GAME! :) Enjoy what you do and everything you do then you
won't even notice you're skills are getting better.
AND LOOK HOW I ENJOYED THE GAME! right at # 1. 23 kills 9 deaths.
Well hope you like my blog and enjoy playing the game!
