Blackshot - Game|Gravity

Game Title: Blackshot
Genre: Mmofps
Developer: Vertigo Games
Publisher: Outspark
Status: Open Beta (Some time in December)
Official Site: Blackshot - First Person Shooter Game from Outspark
Restriction: North America/Other divided into two servers
Trailer: Blackshot Trailer

Way to late to write anything fancy about it but Ive been waiting for this game since CB2 stopped and I can just tell you that the game is great. There are two main modes (+one SP) Team Flag Match (like CTF in any other FPS game) or Search and Destroy (like DE in CS). Also, for every map you play you got a quest which you can try to finish (some are very easy, some are a bit harder). When you create a new char you can pick between four different characters (two smaller, two bigger) which can hold almost the same type of weapons. There were a lot of lag issues in CB1-CB2 but hopefully they have fixed some of them.

Team Flag Match
This is the most fast paced mod in Blackshot (not counting the SP Bunker Defense). Each team spawns in their own area behind their flag. And the best thing about this mod is you re spawn after 5-6 sec in your own base when you die, so its not rounds like CS.

Search And Destroy
This is just like DE maps on CS. There are two teams (terrorist and counter) who fight over two bomb spots.

Bunker Defense (Co-op SP)
Defend a bunker either alone or with 3 other people while enemies nonstop rush the bunker.

Looks good, thanks for posting

But do you know what the minimum system requirements are?

Richard · 11-22-2008, 02:40 AM

CPU: 2.0GHZ
RAM: 512 MB
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce FX 5700 or ATI Radeon 9550.
OS: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista
Direct X: DirectX9.0C
(taken from their forum)

The graphics isn't top notch so I guess you can play it with a decently poor computer if you just lower all the graphic settings.

Seriously not my favorite FPS game, I'm prefer Combat Arms

m0nkey · 11-22-2008, 07:07 AM

Okay thanks, I'm just on the edge so I hope I can play.

If you can play Combat Arms, you can play BlackShot

I also prefer Combat Arms, cause aiming in BlackShot is really strage and recoil is worse, like all the screen moves too much when you fire. Besides CA loks prettier :P

Dont know if it made it to the US version but i loved this game's partner system, where it made me and my buddy feel like we are characters from the anime ghost in the shell (well maybe not that much)

But everything else about thsi game is just bland. its not good its not bad kind of game this is,

Richard · 11-23-2008, 12:00 AM

Its published in the US/Other by Outspark. Don't think they have enabled the partner system yet though.

The close beta ended some time ago, and it's taking to long or the OB to start, I'm getting impatient -.-

I couldn't play the bunker mode, but some other players said that it was fun.

Bunker defense is decently fun. A lot of action and shooting hehe.
