Version: Soldier Front 1
"Good Tactical FPS"
Pros: Teamwork is a must in order to win in the 'team battle' game mode (which is a good thing as opposed to WarRock's 'Rambo' style of play).
Reasonably nice graphics (comparable to WarRock) and well designed maps (however, only a few are available in the current open beta).
A nice array of weapons (from sniper rifles to pistols to shotguns - again, more will be available in the final release).
Much easier to level up than in WarRock; in addition, the game keeps track of important player statistics such as kill/death, survival, winning percentages - head shots and completed missions, as well as your forfeit rate (in order to indicate those who frequently disconnect during games).
So far 4 or 5 different forces are available for you to choose from.
Cons: Of course, there are the many glitches in the map; most include going inside walls, mountains, crates etc. The only other thing I would found troublesome was their SP (the ingame currency) system. You only get SP during your first promotion, and afterwards, only after you SP recharge bar has been filled. This normally takes a very long time, and only serves to give u a measley 10k SP. For comparisson, repairing a combatant weapon such as the AUG costs around 100SP/game (sniper rifles such as the PSG require around 125SP/game to repair). Guns are yours once you purchase them; no need to rebuy them ofter they expire as in WarRock. FYI, most automatics cost around 20K SP, pistols go for 15K SP, while the shotguns sell for a whopping 40k SP. However, special equipment are available to buy (such as masks, helmets, body armour etc.) that supposedly increase the ammount of SP/XP you earn per kill. These, however, have a 7 day limit and must be repurchased.
At the moment, I am a First Lieutenant and have gone through 2 SP recharges (I'm halfway through my third). I found that I'm running out of SP fast and can only afford to keep a single weapon due to the expenses of repairing weapons and repurchasing equipment.
I hope Gijji will fix these problems in the future. All in all, its a great game.

how is it a great game? all it takes is for you to get a shotgun, and u basicly control everything. knives are unbelievably unrealistic. u cant sprint or tumble unlike warrock. And how does warrock have bad graphics? there something wonderful called options, and yes it can change the graphics, isnt that wonderful?

I played this game for about 5 min and almost all 100% of people there were complete noobs to FPS games...thus most people are extremely easy to kill. people with high ranks slithered there way to it. Ive gotten first in like 20 games already and ive played for about a week. strange

Basically, if you would like to experiment with all the weapons, you will have to create more accounts. A single account will probably allow you to purchase 2 main weapons (a sniper rifle and machine gun; over time that is), a secondary weapon (shotgun or pistol), grenades (smoke, flash, and frag) and a set of equipment (helmet, body armour, mask, etc.) which helps your SP recharge bar fill up more quickly.
The final version of this game will include many more maps (only 5 are currently available), more weapons, and new forces (the SRG force will be SF's first female force).
