Neowiz Games’ futuristic action sports third-person shooter game, S4 League has recently ended its open beta phase and is now officially launched at alaplaya. S4 League is a free online multiplayer game with persistent character progression, fierce competition and a dedicated community. In it, you take control of cel-shaded manga-style athletes who compete in thrilling violent sports and deathmatches with stylistic bullet ballet combat and science-fiction weaponry.
You can choose from a variety of weapons, special abilities, equipment and aesthetic apparel, allowing for endless flexibility for expressing your own style and method of fighting. Organized matches require clever teamwork and coordination in order for teams to succeed, emphasizing tactics and strategy as much as twitchy fingers and individual skill. In “Touchdown” mode, the objective is to score points by grabbing the ball (called a “Fumbi”) in the middle of the arena and taking it as fast as possible to the opposing team’s goal without fumbling. It’s pretty much a reverse variation of Capture-The-Flag.
Players can also dash, jump, flip and perform a diverse array of impressive aerial maneuvers to help them traverse their surroundings more fluidly. Weapons consist of SMGs, swords, rifles, cannons, railguns, pistols, etc.
Here’s the new Battlefield Heroes trailer showcasing one of the maps called Victory Village. Battlefield Heroes is latest installment to the Battlefield franchise and the first to be released online entirely for free. Instead of profiting from sales, EA will opt to generate revenue from advertisements and micro-transactions, so players will be able to purchase various items, perks and such to get more enjoyment out of the game. The game is set to be released later this year, but you can stay updated for a chance to get into beta.
The company behind popular MMO Maple Story, Nexon, have recently announced the addition of a more mature title, Combat Arms, to their F2P (free to play) online games lineup, which includes Mabinogi and Audition. Players will get a chance to participate in the closed beta starting on May 30th.
Following the same footsteps as America’s Army, Combat Arms is another free online FPS with persistent character progression elements to join the growing list of the same genre alongside such titles as Warrock, Soldier Front and Wolf Team.
The latest Fallen Earth Question(s) of the Week has been posted over at their official forums where the developers answer questions asked by fans on a weekly basis.
New details reveal that clans will require 10,000 chips (the currency used in Fallen Earth) and a minimum of 10 members to establish. Clan leaders will be able to create up to 10 custom ranks with customizable permissions for each rank. Permissions include the privilege to invite/kick and promote/demote members, access to the clan vault, the ability to accept or reject clan war challenges, etc.
Clans will be able to engage in “clan wars”, whereby clans challenge each other to a formal war in which they can mutually agree on the rules, location and the amount wagered for rewards.
