Blacklight:Retribution is a F2P sequel to Blacklight:Tango down. Essentially, Take what CoD does well, throw out the stuffty stuff, Give it a Deus ex human revolution style, Throw in some BRINK style customization as expansive as Borderland's guns, Show a load of stats and throw in some zombie apocalypse for good measure, you essentially have Blacklight:Retribution.

Why should I care
Blacklight has an amazing feature that sets it apart from any other FPS: The HRV.(And the buisness model but i'll get to that later)
The HRV is, to the CoD player, a bullstuff peice of hacking tomfoolery. To a decent player, it's an essiental tool that shows where everyone is, giving you near infinite situtational awareness.
Oh yeah.
MOTHERloving MECHSSSSSS
they're flimsy as hell though, two stinger shots will take one down, but not many people have the brains to bust them out

So what's the buisness stuff like
Well, you rent items. Like combat arms. Without the godawful pay to win nonsense. Every non-cosmetic item can be earned for free, and you can buy things permanently if you sink time in. You can also buy Pre-made guns, many of which contain high level things, for 200GP a day, which is one or two matches. So, did somebody kick your ass with a well-built weapon? Go grab one for 200GP during the intermission. The progression is also like CoD, but you can pay to get an item above your level. Higher level items are not better than lower rank items.(Hell, i've seen some people do really well with default gear)
There are also cosmetic items to grab as well, like taunts and camos.

I wanna play this stuff
It's on steam.

Oh yeah, REMEMBER TO SPAM EU GLOBAL WITH KEBAB!

Boink approves of game

Post ur guns

Gotta go fast



There's already a large topic.



IMO this game sucks, the weapon system is fun except for the fact that the buying system is worse than combat arms. Now you don't only rent the weapon(or receiver in this case), but you also have to rent EVERY attachment for it. To get something permanently you have to spend LOADS of the free money or get some of that other currency(the real money one). It's the description of terribly stuffty pay2win free2play gaming.

Sorry that you couldn't unlock everything in 5 hours.
I have perma'd every part on that gun, save the scope and receiver, and renting those is about 350 GP a day, which is two games for me.
Grow some loving patience.

i love this game because it's so easy it's insanely fun

Same here.
Even though the game decides to make every gun do double damage against me sometimes
Obviously not, but it feels like it

I love the bolt-action receiver, I was so disappointed when I could only afford it for 1 day. :(

Uhhh where did I say that I wanted to unlock everything in a few hours? I simply stated my opinion on the game. I think it's a very fun game but I absolutely despise how the weapon system works. Is that a problem for you? The point of making a topic on a game is to discuss what you like/dislike on a game.  kthx

If it was built to do 200 damage then I loving hate you
If not you are a saint
(but seriously, rent the receiver and play until you can get it forever)

And your opinion is dumb, sink some time into the game and earn each part. If you don't want to spend time, pay dosh.

Really. I'll make sure my opinion is in line with yours next time. Thanks for the wonderful input on my own opinion.

It's not like I was trying to force my opinion on everyone else and scold everyone for not having the same opinion as me. I was simply stating how I view the buying system and that's exactly how I expressed it. Thank you and have a nice day.

You called the game
the description of terribly stuffty pay2win free2play gaming.
And it isn't.
Therefore
your opinion is dumb
If you hate the system, that's fine by you. forget off then.
Calling the game P2W, when it isn't, is stupid as hell.
People who have called it P2W count: 5
