Title: Running with Rifles - anyone played it?

What is RUNNING WITH RIFLES?

"Keep your head down SOLDIER – you'll need it!"

Pick up your rifle and join the Green or Grey army in their mission to send the enemy home in a box! RWR is an open world, top-down, tactical shooter for single player and multiplayer online, that puts you right in the middle of chaos in towns, trenches and forests turned into ruthless battlefields, controlling just one soldier in an army of several hundreds.

In a war where men die like flies and endless streams of reinforcements run to fill the void, it takes tactics and marksmanship to capture territories effectively. The open world nature of the game enables you to use a multitude of approaches to help the front line move – it's up to you to shape your role. Experience the complete arc starting as a private hardening into a high ranking officer with a squad under command, arming yourself with a variety of weapons and vehicles on your way to glory!

I've got it.  Lots of fun in relatively small doses.

I bought into the alpha ages ago and fire it up every now and then to check on progress.  It's a very fun little game.

Agree w/ Jarhead's assessment.  Fun for short stretches of shootin'.

With all the new stuff they added to RWR, I'm gonna have to get back to some multi-player!


Fun stuff:

Team play looks like it might be fun.

Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of the old Ikari Warriors arcade game from the mid 1980's?

I recall not really enjoying Ikari Warriors back then.   *shrug*

That was from around the same era as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out wasn't it?  ;D

Ikari Warriors was just a vertically-scrolling shoot em up really, but for what it was (and for the time) it was pretty good, and also two-player if I recall correctly.  I'm sure there was a remake much later on, or at least a clone.
