I miss this trash.

Yeah. But not really though because I played Battlefield Free 2 Play and that was abhorrent.

>>717507747
Yeah that one was pretty bad. I only have vague memories of OP related. Was it the one with the wallhack gimmick? What do you miss about it?

>>717508012
Yeah, you'd be able to see through walls for X seconds depending on the gear you had equipped. You could also call in a mechsuit too as a killstreak iirc.
I don't know, I just have fond memories of customizing my guns and sinking hours into being a shitter.

>>717508012
The BSOD flashbang was cute

I actually prefer the original Blacklight before it was f2p trash when its playerbase died due to Call of Duty coming out the next week. Fun times

I really liked the artstyle, and I liked that it had mechs. They were fun. I wish it was alive and also a bit better.

i miss the OG
also Section 8, and Monday Night Combat

>>717507628
biggest issue with new competitive games is them forcing you to play like 100 matches against bots made by the devs, then 100 matches against bots run by chinese account/gold sellers, then maybe you get to meet a human

>>717507301 (OP)
The f2p progression experience was like wading through thigh high mud uphill and blind while paying players were taking the cablecar up the mountain, lobbing piss jars and boiling feces on f2p heads.

>>717507301 (OP)
>built in wallhacks
what were they thinking

>>717507301 (OP)
If it was a non f2p would've been the best shooter honestly

God I miss it. They could’ve milked this cow like tf2 if it they had just kept up with it. But they ran off to do VTM2 and got shot in the head because it was turning out to be shit.

it sucked but it looked so cool. finding the designer's website that did all the decals and small graphics for this game was cool.

i miss this pile of shite

>>717507301 (OP)
Holy based OP for a BLR thread. I put a few hundred hours into the game and even autism-math'd gun builds in Excel.

Melee + AMR was always my favorite dumb combo and it made people so mad.

Fun fact: You can buy the skull helmet from an Indonesian 'wearable art' studio named Machine 50/60, among other cyberpunk/BLR-style gear. Just open that wallet wide, though.

>>717510208
They were on a timer and it worked pretty good, you couldnt sit in a corner and always had to be moving.

>>717512283
And the wallhack stuff also had stats like 'time to activate' and 'duration,' and you were vulnerable as fuck during the 'turn on wallhack' period.

A really novel mechanic, especially for the early 2010s.

>>717512639
I don't think you could shoot while using it either.

>>717512717
No, that was how you balanced it. The mechanic wasnt braindead since if you constantly used it you were just running around corners as an easy kill.

>>717511710
Surprised to not see anyone else do the character card system. Encouraging players to shell out for the better combos seemed like a really sneaky way to do microtransactions.

The looks captured me completly and I played utterly braindead and tackless hoping the next unlock would make my submachine gun piss out its stream of lead even harder and faster

>>717507301 (OP)
I loved the robot heads in this, all the tacticool shit too, game was too easy most people were absolute trash even with the wallhack gimmick

>>717513202
The gun customization was kino. I made a KAR-98 equivalent for fun (hip shot bolt action rifle for short to mid range) and it kicked people's asses.

Cyberpunk wishes it was as cool looking as BL:R

>>717513457
I remember being excited for cyberpunk from its original trailer with the max-tac guy. Then the actual game involved you playing some shitty gangbanger and it pissed me off to no end.

>>717513457
Different aesthetic, though. BLR was closer to a GitS-type grounded cyberpunk, whereas CP2077 is more bombastic.

>>717514229
MaxTac outfits look like shit, IMO.

>>717507628
but i miss gits

This wasnt the best build however I loved the seethe my camo caused, the meta build iirc was the skullbreaker helmet 211 with the healthbackpack right?

I remember sinking an UNGODLY amount of hours into the payload mode, the only map they made for that mode was soooo good but I wish they added more.

I loved the Search and Destroy mode had a gimmick with defusing the bomb like where you needed to tap left or right fast enough and so much dumbasses would fuck up the defuse

>>717509809
>He didnt get lucky and do the zombie mode glitch when it came out where people were grinding so much in game currency they could get everything

I was set for life till the game shut down after that lol

>>717514408
The sweaty build did include the self heal pack and an AR, I want to say. And that helmet sounds right.

>>717507301 (OP)
I liked the wallhack and hardsuit

>>717514408
>>717514894
The sweat meta build was the 222 which was the skull mask, medium armor, heavy legs. It was the best medium class however I always through the armor balance was fine.

Remember when you needed to have a good GPU to even have an option to unlock the speed demon legs the last leg option in the game?

>>717514408
>>717515040
I always thought BLR was able to balance effectively between light and heavy class compared to other FPS games. The heavy builds were slow but you were able to tank a lot of hits and while the lighter builds were fast as fuck but your head would go pop in an instant but you were that weak HP wise

>>717507301 (OP)
You can play it today, look up BLRevive.

/v/ server when?

>>717515040
>fast GPU for speed demon legs

Holy shit, I totally forgot about that. IIRC, the legs even had some kind of Sonic-like light trail when you used them. I had them in my knuckleduster melee build.

>>717515040
I remember that lol they later made the legs unlocked for everyone it was a pretty impressive looking game at the time

Was there ever a way to make this concept work? Or would it have always devolved into
>this is the best gun, there's no reason to use a different combo

>>717515452
Vidya is a numbers game at its core so I think minmaxxing is inevitable

>>717515521
>>717515452
Today the minmaxxing would be faster back then only the sweaty actual no lifes were like this

>>717515452
Your designers have to be damn good, and you need to have some kind of meta balance, like 'best gun that shoots fast, but isn't high damage', 'highest damage gun, but it shoots slow,' etc.

Best in class will always rise to the top, so you need good devs with strong analytics skills to be able to monitor the data and adjust things.

But the modern day competency crisis means you're just going to get lazy shit where the MTX guns are objectively superior.

>>717507301 (OP)
For me it was Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms

>>717515972
My brother wasted thousands of hours on that

>>717515972
goddamn I haven't thought about this game in forever. I didn't play much of it but I do remember it.

>>717516351
>>717515972
It was pretty good seriously all these F2P shooters all had good gameplay but the rate of content/monetization always killed em

>>717507301 (OP)
I quit when they nerfed that kill streak railgun weapon that could oneshot people and take down the mechs in a couple of shots.

>>717507301 (OP)
this game had such a vibe to it
even had inbuilt wallhacks

>>717507301 (OP)
wasn't this the dogshit where everyone had inbuilt wallhack on a timer?

it was cool before they overhaul it for console
you used to be able to take apart the entire gun and mix match it how ever you want
but they dumb it down for console port

Miss this piece of shit

>>717516614
It had a temp wallhack, but you couldn't shoot while using it.

It was a lot of fun, actually. Meant the game was really mobile and anyone camping meant they had traps, were good enough to take anyone who came after them, or were just retarded.

captured ghost in the shell better than any ghost in the shell game aside from maybe Oni

>Dirty bomb
Aw fuck. There's still nothing quite like it out there. Sucks being an FPS fan.

I can still hear the voicelines and abilities.
The diverse cast was great. modern game dev writers are fucking talentless culture war hacks

>>717519020
Fuck Dirty Bomb.

Brink was great. But only in singleplayer or co-op.

>>717507301 (OP)
Bump for interest.

>>717507301 (OP)
I miss this too

Worst mp maps in the history of fps games

>>717507628
great until they ported it to PS4 and brought all the horrible changes and downgrades back to PC. it was the Ready Or Not of its time in this regard.

>>717519769
I picked this game up thinking it would feel like BLR and was extremely disappointed. Especially after the update that tried to make it even more of a halfassed hero shooter.

>>717507301 (OP)
>Fun as fuck on release
>All it took was the first "balance" patch to see how bad it was going to get
Still mad, Dom trooper was fun as fuck

>>717516683
This game was so cool.

>>717507301 (OP)
I was just thinking about this game like a week or two ago but couldn't remember the name, I remember actually spending some money on this.
The gun customization was next level at the time and it's what got me hooked, the grinding turned me off the game pretty soon however.

>>717525392
There's a community that got the game up and running again. Look up Side 7 if interested.
