America's Army Online.
Map: Urban Assault
I love to play baked. Fast, furious, badass action with guns, flash grenades, smoke grenades, and fragmentation grenades, clearing rooms.
It's a free game put out by the US Army using the Unreal Tournament engine.
26 players, 13 to each side. Each game lasts from 3 to 4 minutes.
The army started the game as an advertisement for the Army. Download it, you have to complete a kinda lame-0 basic training course, and then you're on.
You start out with a player grade rank, called 'honor' that goes from 1 to 100. You start out at ten and can go down from there; killing or wounding teamates takes loads off your score.
There are objectives; cargos that have to be 'secured' and you fight your way to it, hit an activate button and 'secure' the cargo; but the enemy can come in sweep the room and 're-secure' meaning take it back.
On Urban assault there are two. Taking both means auto win. Killing all of other team is also a win.
No special effects, no far out weapons. There's a sniper rifle too and on some maps there are AT-4 and Rocket Propelled Grenades; some maps have various mines.
Its a campers' game except for a few maps. The map I play most is an assaulter's map. You camp you generally die; and players who've racked up big scores hiding in dark corners on other maps tend to get pazowntzr8'd.
I was #1 in the world for awhile on that map in kills, games won, total points. It's a pretty prestigious position although I wasn't good enough to play for money. Second rate equipment, a love for fast, conflict oriented action, and a lotta shit talking, and lots of hours playing BAKED as HECK!
I actually quit drinking so I could online First Person Shooter game. After 25 years I found something I could do indoors, baked, drinking a coke, get out a load of frustration & male dominance, have a freaking blast, and build really great hand-eye coordination.
There's a set of communications functions but they're slow, and too general to be of much use. After a long time I came up with my own, and learned to both fight, and guide my team.
