Not a game. Just HAMAS propaganda.

I can be positive about this game, since it is free and only in beta. I haven't had the problems, others seemed to face. It does crash, pause, reload, etc. But, not mostly, for me, but rarely. If it is an engaging game, that i have 440 hrs into. The game is, if you don't know, a base building, defending and attacking other bases, type game. You take their stores for loot, if you get to them.

Yet, in many ways it feels unbalanced, at this point.

IAC, the game is slow to build up at the higher upgrades. Days, even weeks to upgrade a building. And, to me there is a major flaw in the battle design. It is unbalanced in so many ways. The weapons' pricing, power, time to create, mis-matches are odd. But, mainly you progress in level by attacking, much faster than you can upgrade the attack weapons.

So, you are constantly under-gunned for the rival base you attack. But, your weapons have become much more expensive, though still too weak, so it is not profitable to attack. Right now, the attack system is almost broken, anyway, so it is very difficult to find anyone to attack.

You need friends in this game to help reduce the time to upgrade buildings, but each friend comes with an attack button. Attack your friends? That does not compute.

I am hoping that the developers are working on re-balancing, but currently they are swamped with server issues. If this game can be focused properly, it will be a real winner.

But, right now, save your galaxy chips for later and do not attack until you have the strongest upgrades on your attack weapons. I wish I could start over, with my own advice but that is also not allowed.

Finally, this franchise pulls off a real winner. Contracts 1, is very dismal, blowing snow, enemies out of nowhere. But, this is a jewel of a shooter. Just the right balance of game play. with the addition of the long range contracts. I like it.

Buggy. Got to the end of prologue and it crashed. Then it won't offer new game or campaign modes, just one of the DLC. So, on sale for $8.00 and still not worth it. Try the newer Ghost Warrior Cohtracts. A much cleaner game.

Steep learning curve, but for everyone kid that ever wanted to know what a real swordfight can be like, this is the game. And just like you would never challenge the Count of Monte Cristo without training. fighting is an art form.

If you ever wonder how did people stay fighting defending against invasion, or how do you invade without eating in in the first minute, this is the simulator for you.

This is a classic weapon simulator. It allows you to fight with swords, spears, clubs, lances, horses, catapults...what is not to like? Well, probably, you can't fight and have to learn how. So, that is frustrating. But, you certainly would not last 1 sec, in modern fencing, until you had some training. This however is heavy weapons brawling, and killing, jumping behind, block, fake, stab, block. kick. Most things have long timing, and are fully telegraphed. But there are plenty of sneeky moves, and the system allows you to combine footwork and turning to make your strikes unpredictable. And people are very suprising how they can make up new moves.

It can seem like learning swordplay from Conan the Barbarian and Ivar the Boneless. But, just like any martial art, you have to practice. Swing swing swing, stab swing. Now reverse. Like a karate kata or a cutless drill, make up some moves and practice.

You can get into all kinds of conflicts, but right now I am liking single dueling. I work out with a bot and then go to the ranking servers. I like it, but I didn't think I would at first.

I is a simple but frusrating simulation, if you are trying to learn PPV drone racing. Turn on the filght tracking options, because that is the only thing that will let you understand the layout of the courses.

You can find your starting gate, but not through the red side. :) It is a white checkerboard start. Fly through that one and the next gate turns green. Always pass through the green sides. But, understand these courses are very 3D. You might find a series of gate that are not facing each other but are in line, gate poles to gate polls. If finally figured out these are meant to be flown along the poles line and with a horizontal corkscrew, to get back on the side you started and pass through the next gate and back over the top for the next one.

The equipment these days is getting more affordable, and PPV, pilot point of view, is very rewarding. HAVE FUN!!
