Reviewed by: CNET Staff
WarRock is a frenetic first-person shooter MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game). You can play one of five soldiers: engineer, assault, sniper, heavy artillery, or medic (the only female). You must choose an environment before a character. There are about a dozen landscapes, and they are applied to close combat, urban ops and battle group scenarios; the last one allowing you to drive everything from motorcycles to tanks to helicopters. Without a doubt, this game should appeal to those into modern military strategy and fighting.
WarRock's Web site, where you need to register before playing, is easy to navigate and mandatory to look at so you can understand how to play. No patches and a smooth setup make for a pleasant installation experience. Unfortunately, there have been numerous user complaints that if you don't live on a continent that has one of WarRock's servers, then it won't let you connect.
It's hard to understate how quickly things happen in this game; changing your POV is difficult, so it's easy to get shot in the back. All the battles feature two teams, and you're randomly assigned when you join the game in progress. There aren't cheaters, as you might find in other MMORPGs, but there are very testy game-players who aren't shy about voting you out if you're slowing down their team's inexorable march to victory.

Version: WarRock 1
Pros: Free,
Easy to learn,
Reasonably good graphics,
Low system requirements,
Fast-paced action,
Variety of weapons/veichles,
Well designed maps,
3 (will soon be 4) different game modes,
Some teamwork with various classes (but not much),
Great community/forums.
Cons: I have played this game since the beginning of open beta, and have to say that the retail version as a bit of a disappointment. First of all, instead of fixing the lag problem, K2 made its quite a bit worse. I used to be able to play this game at HIGH settings with dynamic lighting and shaders ENABLED. However, now I am reduced to playing the game at LOW-MEDIUM settings with the effects DISABLED.
Retail updates such as the map restrictions (certain maps require a P2P membership)and weapon level requirements are very unwelcome IMO; for example, K2 made the map 'Harbour Ida' (probably the most popular map during open beta) for members only. However, F2P players are allowed to join the room once a member has created and chosen that map. Also, weapons such as my personal favourite, the P90, have very high level requirements (lvl 16); this is quite frustrating as it took me quite a while to get to this level during open beta.
Well, its still a great game; I'm just hoping that K2 opens the forums to let in the multitude of complaints and suggestions from their concerned players and community. Once these problems are fixed, Warrock will once again be, in my eyes, an excellent first-person shooter.
