General Information
There may have been a previous topic for ShellShock Live, but I don't think it had very much information, so I'll just get on with it.
ShellShock Live is a multiplayer artillery game. Players control a variety of differently shaped tanks and shoot at each other using a wide array of weaponry on a landscape that can be destroyed completely. These landscapes may come as a default, as a purchase or as an achievement. All the players are divided into two teams and are placed on a landscape consisting of a single color which can be altered. Each player is represented by a tank, which can be moved forwards and backwards on the landscape, athough limited each turn by fuel, which depletes as you move.
Your aim and fire can be controlled either with the keyboard or the mouse. Simply point the aiming cone at the best angle, then determine the power of your shot by pulling the cone towards or away from the tank. Once set, launch your projectile and watch your shot curve towards your target, taking the wind into account. If you hit your target, you deal damage to your opponent as well as destroying part of the terrain. Every five rounds, an earthquake will reset the terrain, clearing any explosive damage.
Players split evenly in two teams and you can't kill your opponents. The goal is to do as much damage as possible to the other team, gaining points for the damage dealt. The game lasts a certain number of rounds which is selected by the host of the game. At the end of the match, the scores decide which team won. Successful shots earn the player experience and winning a game adds bonuses. For each level up, you unlock new weapons, features or maps. Only registered players can earn xp, though. The weapons for each round are assigned randomly from the weaponry you have unlocked or have earned by default.
Accounts
Although the game does not require you to register an account to play, registered players gain access to more content. Aside from saving your progress by storing your experience gained, levels and weapon packs unlocked, you also gain access to the game's social features. There is a lobby where you can speak to other players or even show off your level. You can also add other users to your friends list if you would like to speak to them later on.
Where To Play
ShellShock Live is playable either here, on the main website or here, on kongregate - but I'm pretty sure they both have the same features as both of them are frequently updated.
Levels
Through playing matches, players can earn experience and levels. If you want to show everybody your level, post it in this topic.

Unlock Progress
This is a list of all of the weaponry which is available after you have enough experience.
Firing Range
If you're new to ShellShock Live and wish to practice your firing capabilities, there is a firing range which is accessible from the main menu. Once you click on the firing range, you're placed on a default map which can be changed with an enemy which will not fire at you. You have the ability to select the wind power that you desire between 0 and 15. You cannot gain experience while you are using the firing range.
Thanks for reading the topic, I'll add any information which is required whenever I feel like I need to.
