LOADOUT!

I been mentioning this game since I been talking about Free-to-play games and how this game is doing the Free-to-play business model fairly, so it would be wise to do a full review on this game. While the hype for the game did die down due to the balance issue with the plasma weapons, I still come back to this game to see how the game fairs after a certain amount of time.

As the name implies, the strongest part of the game is that you can make and customize your own weapons while making necessary changes while leveling up helps to buy skills or new parts. What makes this the strongest part of the game is that one cannot buy power in the game; only cosmetics. While you can earn weapons in TeamFortess 2, you can become ANY class without restrictions depending on your weapon's build.

The game has the hilarious cartoon style more in TOONed (sorry for the pun) to the nicktoons' style instead of the Pixar style seen in Team-Fortress 2. When players get shot on different part of the body, parts of the body break off in a comedic, gory fashion that will make the evil part of anyone laugh. While the character design is very voyager.

At least they aren't as sexist as most shooters, with the girl's skin exposed and have a chess the size of bowling balls. Has anyone of these developers seen a normal woman before? but back on the topic, make sure the settings are set because there is nudity that would even make a professional porn star jealous.  When they said "this game has balls,"  they really mean it. Be warned if that sets you off,  as you can always turn the underwear options on. Very ew.

Sadly, this game has balancing issues. As stated, the plasma weapons are unbalanced to the point that the bots in the Humans Vs. Bots mode will even make a saint screech at the top of his lungs. Might as well get the glow sticks because of the blue lazier-light show -- of death! While the human players are ok, professional players will be your nightmare if you have a lot of Call of Duty fan-boys on your side, as they suck on their pacifiers.  I would have gave them gameboys and pokemon so their nostalgia isn't as bad as today's children games. 

Another small issue is that there's only a small handful of modes, which can scare off the majority of the "gamers" that might run across this game. And when I mean "handful," I mean only three. One is bounty mode, as the basic kill the other team and collect their bounty. If a team member is killed off, a player can deny a kill by collecting the bounty. First team to get the points, win. Meanwhile, the classic capture the point returns from other shooters, as well as the collectithon mining game which is the most annoying on of the bunch. Just hope the new modes come soon from the community.

If anyone is going to play this game, at least they should bring a few friends along for the ride. Right now, exploiting the plasma weapons would probably be a "legitimate strategy" until it is fixed, just don't judge me for recommending to cause more trouble. Level up by facing the Bots, have a battle plan like who will become a medic, sniper, and so on in the party. Just do not play alone, expecting to be a Rambo, or else someone will go -- blamo! -- with the head gone but the eyes and brains remaining...
