Running with Rifles



And a quote describing the game from website:

Quote:

What is Running with rifles?

Running with rifles is a 3D warfare PC-game with solid action/stealth/tactics flavor. One soldier is controlled at a time from a top-down perspective by the player. You run around with the keyboard, aim and shoot with the mouse. The soldier’s authority/rank affects how many fellow soldiers controlled by the AI will follow and support him in his glorious efforts. The ultimate mission is to conquer all the bases on the map and defend the already occupied bases against the invading enemy forces.

The bullets are extremely harmful in the game, so it is more about getting quickly into a good position and firing those few well-aimed bursts, before the enemy does the exact same thing to you. Fighting along several fellow soldiers significantly increases the odds of staying alive.


Cool, free, indie wargame. Though still buggy and there's not that much to do in it, I think it'll be huge fun in near future.

But it's nothing special. Even quite underwhelming at that...

But wouldn't aiming become really problematic when the cam turns with your char? You'd always turn unless you aim straight.

Nope, you'd stear your char direction with w,a,s,d. This would move the legs in the correct direction. The mouse movement would just move the cursor (upper torso) and only after ~45° it would influence the cam direction. That's how I would've programmed it

DXHR is the correct acronym. Not DEHR.

I just tried it online on one of the official servers. Never played online before, so I can't say if it improved compared to when I bought the game, some months ago. Servers were mostly empty at the time, but now they were pretty much full and it all looks like a clusterfuck, the good one you know. Many people running around, shooting and throwing all they have. Lots of accidental TK'ing and some lag here and there, but overall it looks like a fun game.
