WarRock Interview - interview|
| (hx) 02:33 PM CET - Jan,25 2007 |  
War Rock News
has word that K2 Network's first-person shooter is entering its last week of
beta testing, and so they are preparing to ship preorders and box editions. Word
is: "If you did order the retail box, you will get a 30 day gold membership and
some pretty cool stuff for the commercial release on February 7th, including a
map flipbook, military-style dog tags, extra dinar, extra gear and an exclusive
weapon (varies by retailer). Even if the retailer isn’t participating in the
pre-order beta code, the retail box gives you stuff that you can’t get with the
gold membership (which will be available online). All of you who have purchased
the retail box will be in the game for the first 30 days with an exclusive
weapon not available to players who purchase a gold premium membership online.
In other news,
FiringSquad has conducted an interview with the game's producer Matt Norton:
FiringSquad: What other unique features does War Rock have?
Matt Norton: War Rock is unique in several areas. The biggest single set
of differences are that War Rock is Free-to-download and Free2Play. As a
developer it's great to not have to convince players that your game is really
fun ahead of time. Instead we can say "Play it and see." When we say that War
Rock is free the biggest question is "What's the catch?" The truth is that there
really isn't one. We feel that if you come and play War Rock, and enjoy it as
much as we think you will, so that you end up playing 10, 20, 30 hours a week,
that we can offer things that will make sense for you to buy. However, players
can continue to play for free if they wish, and rise to the very highest ranks
that way too.
We do have several other important and unique features as well. For example,
we'll have live in-game GM support for questions, running tournaments, and
taking care of disruptive or hacking players. GMs will provide coverage
round-the-clock. War Rock will also have fresh, new, content added to the game
every single month (at least 1 new map, 1 new vehicle, and 1-2 new weapons). On
a bi-yearly basis we'll be releasing new 'Chapters' to the War Rock story. These
will reveal more of the back-story and have larger releases of gear and
equipment as well as new game modes.
War Rock will have a new and exciting web-based clan and tournament system up at
release. The tournament system will make it very easy for players to check their
clan or team's progress in any tournaments, whether they're K2 or player
originated tournaments. We'll take care of things like reporting scores, filling
in the highest ranked losing team to any slots that become vacant due to clans
dropping out. All of this will be visible and reported in near real-time.
Shortly after launch we'll use this same system to set up auto-matching. So you
and your clan could sign up for, say, a tournament bout every Thursday evening
at 8pm and we'll auto-match you with a similarly ranked clan that also wants to
play a bout at 7pm on Thursdays.

last 10 comments: | xxxx | (04:14 PM CET - Jan,25 2007 ) | | Was kinda fun beta testing but I have zero interest in paying for a cut down Battlefield game with lots of cheap textures and poor maps. Not to mention a god awful user interface. | |
| xxxx | (08:28 PM CET - Jan,26 2007 ) | | Ok a little rushed of me to say that you have to pay because you don't really but there is a catch and if you want additional content you have to pay. But I played the beta and it was fun for a little while, but I just see no sense in playing this when I own, BF1942 & Secret Weapons and Vietnam, BF2 and BF2142. I have had almost enough of war games including I also have COD and it's expansions and COD2, MOH:AA, MOH:PA, SOF2. Warrock doesn't really bring anything new to the table and it's really to me a cut down BF. The gfx to me anyway, are a little dated. | |
