Official War Rock thread

Wondering how many of us play War Rock and what are your views?

I think it's ace, not only will my laptop run it pretty well but it's not too difficult or technical, the graphics and interface are really useable and intuitive, good maps. My only concern is that it can lag a bit... but newbies can still do ok, like me. 61% towards level 2!

Does new levels mean new weapons?

 

No, new lvls don't mean anything other than ranking. Even so, all rankings will be swiped once the final version is released in February (I hear it has been further delayed); so don't go full out on leveling up.

I already posted two rather lenghty threads on my opinions of War Rock so I won't go into any more detail. They inlcude various screenshots at different settings. You can view them here:

Here's one thread started by Havok (who will no doubt reply to this topic):

Anyway, War Rock is a great free game IMO. It runs on integrated cards (I have an ATI X1100 128MB) well even at high settings. Let's just say that it's the only game I can run smoothly at high settings with dynamic lighting enabled.

I am currently part of the BFC (Bio Freaks) clan now - check out my custom clan avatar. Just yesterday I was promoted as the clan's training officer (in charge of practices etc.) and forum moderator. I am a level 8 Sergeant (working towards level 9) and usually play on the US West server.

Just wondering, where'd you find a Toshiba with a 256MB ATI X200M?

Cheers

 

Awesome, saw ur pic on item shop, didn't know how to get new stuff before! Grabbed a G36C for a 3 day trial, got 30,000 to play with, mmm!

 

Good luck and have fun with your new gun!

 

G36C and MP5K make a good combo, the K is a great little wepaon, tops to switch to when your mag is empty and more flexible in close quarters.

Just got me first promo to PFC

 

Yes, those two weapons work well together. Myself, I prefer the AK-47 and the Desert Eagle combination. I just like the sound the AK makes as well as its high dammage; the D'eagle is just for close up combat. I only use it when out of primary weapon ammo, or when sneaking up on a scout for a headshot. It only packs 7 rounds so I use it sparingly.
Lol, my favourite weapon's got to be the fist (until the combat knife is released. I don't know how many scouts I've humiliated by just punching them to death

By the way, Beta 5 is soon to be released because of the slight delay of the commercial version. I look forward to playing that version, and hopefully its has addressed many of Beta 4's bugs. Hope they don't swipe ranks again although they probably will.

 

Hey, the bio freaks got a website? Reckon I could join?

 

Just like to say that the P90 HURTS! Had my first go with it and I got 14 kills, highest on that game!

 

Sure, feel free to join. We currently have around 21 members but are looking for a total of 32. Our clan leader is Morphix. Just post you application in the forum under Membership Applications and then register an account...its that simple.

Cheers

 

sorry forgot to give the address lol..

hey, i found this game on here last week and i've been playing it pretty much exclusively on the pc since (not constantly lol) i love it ,

im usually on the uk server hiding on top of a hill picking off people with the ol' sniper rifle


or messing around riding the bikes and cars about destroying things/annoying people in tanks/helis with the bike)

or crashing helicopters because i havent quite mastered the art of flying them yet lol




btw i had the most annoying death ever on there, just got a headshot lined up from across on of the large maps, just clicking shoot....

and someone shot me with a rocket from a jet fighter lol

 

Great to see other members enjoying this free game...
check out my clan's site at biofreaks.tk if youre still looking for a clan (but were just a new clan starting out so don't expect anything special...yet).

i can't fly either...

 

I haven't really tried, I found one battlegroup game fun but i tend to go for close quarter ops by preference. My P90 hurts plenty on that

Kinda looking for a clan but perhaps a uk based one. Trying to join War ROck forums but their mailer isnt working, so i cant complete registration!

 

is dis game better than ...FEAR combat

 

try it! it's free! http://www.warrock.net/

 

Unfortunately Warrock doesn't support Australian users.

 

Are there any servers with low enough pings for you to play on?

 

Not gameplay or graphics wise but certainly in fun and addictiveness...

 

K2 might add more servers in the future so keep checking. They just added the South America server this month. Hopefully by the final version, or the upcoming beta 5, the game will supports gamers worldwide.

 

I've gone back to using the G36 and Glock combo for the combatant class. I just enjoy having the ability to snipe as a combatant. The AUG gives the scout the ability of a combatant but w/o crosshairs.

 

tried it..im gettin like 15fps....worse than FEAR wuts up w/ that

 

Strange....I could only get max 20fps in FEAR Combat on low settings compared with 30fps here on War Rock at high settings. Maybe something to do with the servers... I only have an integrated ATI X1100.

lol check this out:

 

What card do you have? Warrock is pretty easygoing on hardware....so unless you have a very bad/old card it shouldn't be performing so poorly. I can easily run it maxed out at high res on my Go7400 at high fps.

 

They might fix that. Here's a post I found in the forums:

Currently, they dont have the clearance for servers in that area; lots of Australian gamers have complained in the forum after the recent update. I'm sure K2 will do something...

 

My game is rogered after the recent update, I can't log in and i'm not the only one!!!

Hope it'll be fixed after the weekend.

 

They just fixed that....but now everyone has been 'rolled' back to the way they were during the weekend. I lost 2 levels and a couple weapons... It can be expected though; it is a beta...

 

Hey, that's still better than WoW. Server maintenance there meant I lost my level 12 Warlock. I didn't bother renewing my subscription.

 

x600..128mb...512ram

pentium m 1.8ghz

oh and it only lags on big maps w/ planes in it.

im gettin like 40-60 fps when playin urban and CQC

 

you should get more ram probably.. x600 isnt to bad of a card and 1.8 ghz is still ok speed
