Arctic Combat

Arctic Combat is a free to play online FPS published by Webzen. The game uses Unreal Engine 2.5 so that more players around the world that own pc’s with lower specs can join in, however they still made the game with high graphics.

“One of key system we have which differentiates our game from others is the gore mode, enemies limbs will fly depends where you shoot to kill him. We introduced this feature in order to provide more realism and greater feedback of shooting.”

The game is currently in beta testing so character customization is simple and also the game is a FPS not MMORPG, meaning that customization is pretty fair (face, helmet, and outfit at the moment). They plan on allowing players to have female characters, if they want to. The 2 battling factions are AF (Allied Force) led by the US and RSA (Red Star Alliance) led by Russia. The game also lets the players set they own assault/sniper classes and change while in the game. “AC's character advancement is based on their rank which is very similar to level systems in MMORPGs. Once character reaches each rank (level) he will be able to use better weapons and equipment.”

“There are 6 different modes at launch: Team Death Match, Free for all, Demolition, Conquest, Search and Destroy, and PVE missions. More and unique modes are under development too.”

Weapons/Armors/Items

“Just like any other online FPS, weapon is the most important tool to win the game. We offer a Trophy system in Online FPS, you get to have a chance to roll for unique to common items after each game ends, odds to receive these prize is totally random, your performance on the battlefield does little effect on your draw. As for these unique items you can trade with others through our Auction House, which is also the very first on an Online FPS like this.”

Cash?

“As for our revenue model we can proudly say that there will be No Cash Weapons in Arctic Combat. We know there have been a lot of complaints about unfairness with Cash weapons over-powering normal weapon, which makes paying users stronger and non-paying users weak and this is not a true free-to-play model at all.”

Another cool feature of the game is that some maps/modes allows the players to pick/use certain weapons that drop from enemies/allies or pick them somewhere on the map. For example:  RPG (rocket launcher), Air Strike packs, UAV (a drone for surveillance which allows you to spot your enemies for a few seconds), health packs, flamethrower etc…

Also the game allows players to play with bots.

“We offer one of the greatest AI you will ever find out there in online FPS market. We offer five different settings of difficulty level and if you try our most difficult setting AI mode, you will be very surprised. With these AIs we are currently developing various modes to entertain our users. So please look forward to our future update news.”
