I DEMAND RETRIBUTION

I got my hands on the closed beta of Blacklight Retribution, and I gotta say, I love it. Your character is fully customizable from head to toe with amazing looking helmets and body armour. Weapons can be bought mid game or as a load out. Mechanical armour can be used to sway the tides of the game with plasma cannons and machine guns. The graphics on this game are amazing, and if your PC can't handle it you have the option to downgrade. For a free download I was amazed. The realistic but still futuristic war zone is a core competitor for the FPS world. I'm sure we will see the servers full for this game. With many different types of game types to suit anyone, and many different weapons, anyone can get a good grip on what they like quickly. I highly recommend this, the graphics, game play and all round feel of this game is brilliant. The game is only for PC, but will probably become very popular none the less. Going into more depth about the weapons, the player can customize what weapon they get when they spawn. Primary include the usual: assault rifle, sniper or sub-machinegun. While secondary you have pistols or revolvers, the player can also add attachments rather like most FPS'. But hang on... what's this? The player can buy extra heavy weapons in game after killing enemies.


The Robot suit is probably the most popular, however heavy machine guns, flame throwers and rocket launchers are also in the list of great weapons.  Another great thing about this game is the equipment. A player can carry things like a revival pack, healing pack or hard suit (extra protection). There are also skills, and so many of them, I can't talk about them all.  However some of the best ones are decoys,machete training and shock grenade training. Now most importantly this game has something a bit different. HVR. Now HVR allows you to see enemies better and see important parts of the map better, but choose wisely as it doesn't last forever.
Get ready for some serious amount of fire power on the games release, see you on the battlefield.

  3. I've been fortunate enough to start playing BLR since pre-alpha at several gaming events and gotta say I wholeheartedly agree with your review. Fast, fun, and going to be hard to beat as a free to play game. Kinda like your review!

    Thanks for making your point in less than 10 pages unlike most of the reviewers!
