Well after I play this game for two days I decided to write a brief review about this game. So here it is the brief review:

Blackshot is a online FPS game published by Outspark. It support up to 16 players, pertty similiar to Wolfteam, Soilder Front, Combat Arms, WarRock and Sudden Attack. This game consist of 4 game modes, they are SD(Search and Destroy), TFM(Team Flag Match), TDM(Team DeathMatch), and a co-op mode BD a.k.a. Bunker Defense.

The feel of the game is closest to Combat Arms I'd have to say, the movementis kind of 'soft', almost like your gliding across the floor. The hit box areas areabout the same as WarRock very exact around the body, although there area few times people shoot next to you and kill you. Graphics are mid-range, highquality textures but no anti-aliasing. The network is Peer-to-Peer, but unlikeother P2P games such as WarRock, there is a dedicated host (not the roommaster) and if they have a slow computer the entire game can freeze onevery person in the room. When you are in a 'laggy' room, it keep changing the room host and will cause you die without a reason.

For the visual, you can see the blood stain on the gun from the dead player where you picked it up to use and even you can see the blood stain on your own hand when you get shotted by somebody. When you been shotted to dead there will be a death camera where you will see where your oppenent shoot you. Sometimes you will feel irritating when the oppenent body(shot dead) still standing there for a few seconds before vanish instead of lay on the ground.

There is a ingame shop where you can buy guns/items to use. When you buy a gun, it is not for a day or 7 days but it is for only 1 hour,7 hours, 9 hours and 30 hours. The guns costed for 1 hour is exactly the same cost for 1 day from other online FPS such as Sudden Attack where one M4A1 cost 1400 a day, in Blackshot it costs 1600 for 1 hour. :S You start out with 20000 BP (in game money) so you can but weapons to help you start out. In your inventory (Storage) you have a MP5, a sniper, apistol, a normal dagger, and a grenade that all and all are permanent.


The game rank system are pretty much same with other online. You start with your rank trainnee then to private and so on. After you get enough EXP , you will automaticly go to next rank. How much you get your BP and EXP are depends on how you did in the match.

The game modes I will briefly explain for you. For TFM, it is a combination of TDM and CTF(Capture the Flag).
Each flag you captured, your team will get 5 points and each oppenent you killed will earn 1 point for your team. For SD, it is pertty much the same with Counter Strike where Red Team plant the bomb and blue team needs to defuse or prevent the red team to plant the bomb.

For BD, you and 3 more players need to protect the bunker also your spawn point from the terrorist. There will be some suicide bomber rush to your bunker and detonate the bomb on his body and the terrorists standing outside the bunder keep shooting your team. You need to defend your bunker untill the time finish, till now I can't even defend till the time finish.

The sound in the game are awesome[the gunfire, grenade and ...].There is speech so that you can send commands to your teammates.
Close comment

The game can be fun to play. After while I feel it quite boring cause the maps are not good designed. You will need to run and gun. There is no good sniper spots wthin all the maps. So don't use sniper rifle to play, it won't let you get many point. And there is no customize guns features in the game TOO BAD.

Overall I gave it 7/10
