As opposed to its underground counterpart, it was on a street with a handful of vehicles providing cover opportunities. After holding a metro station from enemies pouring in both from the crater in front and from a small door on the side, I followed a squad mate out into the open, attempting to move to the area’s linked point. They offer a good variety of spaces to fight in. ![]() While the maps don’t quite go for Battlefield 4’s insane size and verticality, they’re not small either. In order to earn score towards winning the match teams needs to hold both points in an area. World War 3’s Warzone mode is a slightly altered take on Battlefield’s Conquest which sees capture points linked to each other. That, on top of inexistent tutorials means you should expect to not know very well what you’re doing during the first couple of matches. Mechanics like switching sights or locking vehicle entry are only explained in temporary tooltips. This, unsurprisingly, resulted in most of my cries for help going unanswered. Pressing a button while looking in their direction prompts your soldier to vocally request ammo or health, but there doesn’t seem to be any feedback on the receiving end. Friendly players have markers on them, indicating equipped gadgets and their availability. Requesting ammo or health, although done just as easily, is thoroughly ineffective as long as you’re not in an organized group on voice coms. Requesting and issuing squad-wide attack or defend orders only takes one push of a button and is clearly relayed to the player. Part of this is due to their lean design. The situation doesn’t change much in-game either, as elements like available killstreaks and point markers crowd the screen, despite being a tad hard to read. Particularly when it comes to weapon customization, it’s easy to get lost in menus within menus while dealing with tooltips that aren’t that descriptive to begin with. Navigating and making sense of the UI takes some getting used to. There was even mention of a Tactical Nuke as a season reward, although I couldn’t speak for the full implications of that. While I can’t say that I truly felt the effects of any of them in the matches I’ve played prior to launch, this is just one of World War 3’s neat ideas – that of having members of a faction contributing earned supplies towards unlocking gameplay bonuses for actual battles. These supplies could be spent to aid the war effort in the four areas granting passive bonuses like extra ammo, or increased vehicle power when doing battle. ![]() Before the progression system was taken offline, finishing a match would reward supplies, alongside currency used for unlocking different weapons. Prior to getting down and dirty in a proper match, you’ll be met with a world map featuring four available conflict zones, which coincide with the playble maps currently available. There doesn’t seem to be much difference between the two, aside from default starting loadouts. What they revealed was an online modern FPS that needs work but also shows potential and a handful of interesting ideas.Īny war needs its factions and the two battling it out in World War 3 are named, rather simply, West and East. Personally, I could only reliably join servers today, but prior to that I managed to take a bite out of a luck cookie and got the chance to play a handful of matches. Subsequent patches seem have to alleviated the issue, at least for some, with the game’s steam rating moving from Mostly Negative to Mixed. The thousands of people lining up to give the game a shot couldn’t connect to the servers in the first two days. After technical issues led to the online modern first-person shooter launching later than planned, problems would only persist. Saying that World War 3 had a rough start would be an understatement.
