Poll: S4 League

[CarbonRevenge]

You know the game that makes Gunz look like crap, and any other FPS on PC cry?
Yes, that game.

To the people who play:
Favorite game mode? Best weapon? Level? Rank? Best map?

To the people who are living in caves:
Do you like online Shooting MMOs? Do they catch your eye? You play often?

okay, yeah, S4 league is moderately fun, but I *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY* do not think you will find much community here for it. I like Touchdown matches though. I consider myself a midfielder, I get the ball, protect it, and roughly kamikaze with it just to give someone else a better chance at scoring. When I'm in a TD match, All the scores say "______+WillSimplyBe"

The thing that'll piss you off the most is the snipers though. Half the time you'll be getting your ass sniped, and have to plan a way to get through the battlefield and be offensive support.

I usually get the ball and make as much progress towards the enemy goal as I can, Or I support the runner with cover fire with my favorite gun of all, the Gatling. Most snipers are awful, just as a rule of thumb(at least at the low to mid-low levels).

Also, gotta say I love the subway map. the one with the large stairs, not the inside one. In the stairs subway, there are fewer great sniping spots, and the best ones are destroyable and out in the open.

Counter Sword, Gatling Gun, Dual Sub-Machine Guns, and Shield, My winning combination.

 

[CarbonRevenge]

I would be scared to play you.

Station is a fun map, but it is quite small.

Shooting MMOs? Not really. The free ones usually catch the idiot run-off from the purchasable ones.

 

[DogofRaw]

What is this, It sounds fun...

hmm, oh, well since other people responded, I'll clue ya in.

S4 League ...er... yeah, don't even try to guess the 4 S's, but it basically means..: Stylish Shooting eSper Sport League.

Its an MOTPS, Multiplayer Online Third Person Shooter. I wouldnt call it Massive, since its really more like a chat hub with Arena Matches listed. It has Two modes, Death Match, where two teams of six compete for kills, and Touchdown, where two teams of six try to rush the center of a map for a ball, and then take it to their opponent's home goal. There was a third mode recently added called Chaser, I havent gotten to try it yet, but I believe its a whole team versus one person for something.

Anyway, each person can fight with 3 weapons, ranged, melee, and special- like turrets, and one special skill, from things like wings, a "zelda-esque" hookshot, or even the ability to erect walls to keep opponents from being able to use a certain path.

*EDIT*

as for the difficulty, as you play and win, your level goes up, and you gain access to knew ranks of games, receiving a better license. The low level games are pretty "pick up and play" but by lvl 30, from there on, things start getting brutal, and people play really well. Also, leveling takes quite a while.

I started this game yesterday, and it was pretty enjoyable so far. I especially liked how you get rewarded for playing the tutorial, it raises the motivation to learn a bit about the game before starting to play it.

The low level enemies have been pretty easy so far though, i aced through all of my games even though i just started to play. I play with dual submachine guns, sword , healing gun and the grapple hook for maximum agility and dodging.

The big con is the durability of the weapons, i hate how you have to buy new ones every few hours.

Pass - third-person isn't the "proper" viewpoint for a multiplayer online shooter.

You'd be surprised either way, it works pretty well. Being able to cloak, place obstacles in one's path, use a sword and dodge adds depth without cluttering it.

Does any of the weapons and such have a "RL money" system?

 

[lapan]

Yes, some weapon and armor skins can only be purchased for real money, and for a longer amount of time than if you buy them with ingame money.
