Blacklight: Retribution - Now open and availible for anyone! V2 (?) - Games

[release] [url=http://blacklight.perfectworld.com][img]http://gamingunwrapped.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Blacklight-Retribution-logo.jpg[/img][/url] [H2]Blacklight: Retribution Open beta now online![/H2] [B]What is it?[/B] Let me tell you or; A summary: - Retribution, made by Zombie Studios, is a continuation of the first Blacklight game (Same developer), Tango Down, which was released on all consoles for around 15 $. - It's Free to Play and, unlike games such as Alliance of Valiant Arms, is heavily shootan and runnan skill based. Meaning that having a better gun will get you not as far as having better experience in FPS games and Twitch shooters. - It also relies alot on customization. Different grenades, knifes, armors and weapons all define your style of play. Be a sneaky whore with a SMG and Shotgun or a heavy dude with a LMG and Revolver, it's up to you when you unlock them. - It has two Currencies; Zen and GP. Zen is your standard "buy with your own money to look cool" deal, whilst GP is your normal credits which you gain from playing rounds among other things and basicly makes you feel accomplished when you buy something for them. - Also it has Mechs that you can call down mid-round for points you accumilate during the round (Killing someone gives you 125 CP, small amounts add on if he was a Warlord, a Rival and so on) which can obliterate the enemy players or just plain out get stolen from you if you get killed before you get in. This has happened to me and it's frustrating to say the least. :v: - The game also sports the HVR; Hyper Reality Visor. It's basicly a temporary 'wallhack' that lets you see everyone across the map but it also prevents you from using any of your weapons when it's turned on. ___________________________________________ [b]Sounds cool, what gamemodes are there?[/b] As of yet, there is: [B]CTF; Capture the Flag[/B] Your run of the mill 'capture that thing over there' gamemode, pretty simple. [B]DM; Deathmatch[/B] Free-for-all gun-toting and stabbing. [B]TDM; Team-Deathmatch[/B] Stab and shoot people in teams, woah that's fucking hardcore. God damn son. [B]DOM; Domination[/B] Capture several objectives around the maps, hack them to do it faster (Match the numbers, pretty easy) and hold them to win. Did I mention that you shoot people AND stab people during this mode too? Crazy. ___________________________________________ [b]So what maps can I play these modes on?[/b] There are currently 4 maps: Vortex (new with OB), Piledriver, Heavy Metal and Deadlock. [B]Vortex[/B] is a refinery, simple as that. [B]Piledriver[/B] is a construction site. [B]Heavy Metal[/B] is a military base. [B]Deadlock[/B] is a slum/lower city style map. ___________________________________________ [b]Woah, bro, got some media of this crazy shit?[/b] Sure: [h2]-Menu, Customization and Action-[/h2] [t]http://uppix.net/a/3/a/158d741fab1e822efc21baeefe5f3.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/1/a/e/ef835affe1fa6920725249b05953a.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/0/6/d/b718064dc1857855a18f1d9cccaf4.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/6/b/9/a699fe56893f109c866d347f1af4d.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/9/1/c/57d44544a94ef7e2c014fec4928a6.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/d/7/e/5d4c3b06792f4ac3e3ec3418fe250.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/a/b/c/337b5066ad7e4f64f7f31da9b218a.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/9/2/8/69f5bbbbc3b618e1163cd99039b98.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/a/b/e/0a7757bf69bff7d1821d3eb60ae87.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/8/e/c/68eb196eb3193e7210fd688ca72fe.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/7/1/6/d6ce227eec1533f6144ebe046194d.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/1/3/9/ec44c4c0727e18d2e1fed383cee9c.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/1/e/c/f8adaf4a9dd4b66339e9375bb30fc.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/2/8/3/daec8f90d7664639efaeb0ff9666e.jpg[/t] [t]http://uppix.net/c/5/4/6c1b6f203a49035e264cd7cdad2f9.jpg[/t][t]http://uppix.net/d/3/8/baf317949d1ed782776ee423febd7.jpg[/t] ___________________________________________ [B]So, where do I get it?[/B] Press that banner up there, see what happens. [/release] Decided to make a new thread with newer info rather than revive the old one which hasen't been updated with the newer info. Fully updated the small Media section with screenshots from a TDM match on Vortex (where I finished first, amazingly) and the menu, including settings panel and some customization shots.

looks amazing.

This game is literally the shit. Its like COD mixed with a nice Eastern Steam-Punk vibe.

As I went from Tango Down to this in Phase 2, the changes. HnHGNhgnhgn. Just saying.

A patch was released yesteryday that highered the amount of GP you got at the end of every round and lowered some prices (Recievers now cost 200 each, instead of 400-600).

is it just me or is the recoil insanely weird in this, especially for hipfire

They fixed the CP? Fuck yeah, back to leveling. If ya see Haunter in the Euro server, say hi.

i'm playing on us west as Operator. i used to play as Vanjya on east back in the last 2 cb phases. [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Mastahamma;34988085]is it just me or is the recoil insanely weird in this, especially for hipfire[/QUOTE] pay attention to your crosshair, the first 2-3 shots on the assault rifle are the most accurate and the rest is just go crazy. [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] also if you're in cqc, try to melee. bashing with your gun usually takes out half hp, enough to 1-shot people stuck at 88 hp.

The difference is that you can actually fight at ANY range with a Burst, only short-midlong with assault. LMG's are the best melee weapons in the game though, you just run in people's faces and press down M1. Now, if I only unlocked proxy mines, I could create so much rage with ammunition pod and proxy mines. Free kills all day erry day, most people don't even bother disarming them.

i just shoot mines whenever i see one in hrv [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] also ar's are decent long range if you have the scope for it.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;34988310]i just shoot mines whenever i see one in hrv[/QUOTE] You're the minority, then. Swarm got nerfed, too, but it's still invaluable in KOTH. Shoot one rocket into a contested CP, get 5 kills. They're so fucking amazing.

Fucking Flamethrowers need to get nerfed slightly and the cost highered. It's way to easy to take out Suits with one and I say this after trying it and being subjected to it's use.

The only problem is that flamers are OP on [I]certain maps.[/I] It's powerless in Vortex and Piledriver, but amazingly powerful on Deadlock. Closed spaces, bro.
