    Everyone who gives this game something lower that 8 is a total fool or a liar. This game gives everything that promises and does it well. The server issues are fixed now and the game is loads of fun. It's not pay to win in any way. Its very skill based. And its freaking funny and loads of fun. And guess what? ITS FREE! I can say with certainty that it is among the best F2P games out there.

    From what I have played in the past five hours, I can tell that Loadout is not only fun, but addicting. I have never been able to get into F2P games because of the whole Pay 2 Win aspect that many of them have. Loadout does not.

    Loadout is a very fun and faster sort of game. But its game modes could be a lot better and more "up to date" per say . I do cut it some slack thought only because it just left its beta stage. It could be better, but it definitely is entertaining, for a while...

    The game is also the best kind of Free-to-play, as well. There's no pay to win here, but there are loads of free customization options to unlock if you choose to support the developer...and in my opinion, they do deserve it.

    I have never in my life been interested in fast paced shooters. They were never my style. I saw this game about a year ago, and the artwork was beautiful enough for me to give the game a shot. What I thought was a shot in the dark, turned into one of the wackiest, fastest paced, and over the top hilarious games I've ever played.

The only thing I do not like about the game is the fact that the studio is so small and limited amount of resources, this game has so much potential and I wish more people were interested to see it blossom into one of the greatest games ever made.

    The game have very vertical maps that fit well with the floaty jumping and rolling. All the maps have different routes you can go to get to your objective and sometimes you will have to improvise to get out of a sticky situation.
    Since this is a F2P game you can expect some micro transactions but they will not help you much in making progress in the game. the guns you start out with are one of the most powerful guns in the game, you can spent real money on customizing your character but it won't give you any advantage.

    The gameplay is a throwback to "classic" shooters with a lot of jumping around, shooting often ridiculous guns at each other and completing team objectives which require you to move around the map a lot.

    Between the matches you are expected to customize your weapons to suit your tastes. The customization can get pretty fairly with each gun comprised of several parts each providing modifiers which add up to the final gun. This includes changing ammo types for new effects and how the shooting itself behaves (such as semi-auto, burst fire, auto, spooling, etc..), the sights and other aspects. There is also a big list of usable items you can get, starting with grenades and expanding to things like turrets, mines, medkits and so on.

    The only problem I have with the weapon customization is most of the parts are locked away in a tech tree, I wish they were just all open to use from the start so you can build the gun you want to try right away rather than waiting, it would suit this classic shooter type of game a lot more. It does not take too long to get to the parts you want though so it's not a huge issue.

    The game modes are fun and pretty varied with some variations of modes you will have seen in other shooters but usually with their own little spin. The flag in capture the flag is a limited use superweapon which destroys everyone around you if you time it right, the loot in their loothorde mode is dangerously explosive (and thowable) and the deathmatch requires that you collect a drop off your kills or the kill doesn't count (and this can be denied). It's a good mix and they just added a new mode which combines a lot of those modes together in a supermode.

    Your character can be customized to a high degree, with so many parts, many of which are funny references or shout-outs to other games, movies, or whatever. It's highly entertaining BUT the cosmetic pieces cost a slightly insane amount of money. The prices really need to be brought down or maybe there could be some sales with big discounts. I can't see myself spending anything on cosmetics which cost so much.

    On the bright side, you can't directly buy any of the gun bits and combat items with real money so it's just the cosmetic stuff people pay for.    … Expand

    To keep it simple:

    Good map design. Fun modes with clever tweaks to the classics like TDM & CTF, all team based 4v4. Varied weapon building mode that allows you to create essentially any gun type (however, some combos require component leveling to work properly; ex. charged 1-shot sniper rifle deals barely less than lethal damage to begin with). Completely free to play -- pay    To keep it simple:

    Varied weapon building mode that allows you to create essentially any gun type (however, some combos require component leveling to work properly; ex. charged 1-shot sniper rifle deals barely less than lethal damage to begin with).

    Completely free to play -- pay for features include standard XP & currency boosters as well as a robust 14-slot cosmetic system (cosmetic items can be earned in first win of the day as well outside of the pay system).

    The initial launch was hindered by server issues as there were up to 30k concurrent players. Server issues are not completely gone, but they have been significantly reduced.

    There is currently only an automatic matchmaker and no server selection tool at the moment.

    There is a leveling component to both the user and each individual weapon component (unique to each base weapon type; that is to say a rifle slug ammo levels up separately from a beam slug ammo). Component leveling is a two-edged sword, as being matched vs players with high level weapons do provide a moderate disadvantage, while the leveling provides a persistent RPG-like goal system. Leveled weapon differences vary and generally are not extremely lopsided -- a whole tier above does about 5-10% more damage, but that difference can change some few weapons from being ineffective to quite effective.

    The movement system has some interesting quirks, such as rolling then jumping allows for a high jumps. Rolling while on fire will reduce and possibly remove burning.

    The devs are constantly updating the game and servers as well as being quite transparent with their operation by keeping in regular contact with the players.

    ---
    Final review notes: I have had a lot of fun with the game and haven't spent any money on it yet. There are some weapons that are just simply easier to use and can be irritating when overused. Not all weapon builds are viable initially and require some component leveling to have work properly. There are 1-shot kill weapons in the game, however they're generally the most risky to use. Good players can quickly seem overpowered in Loadout, but they're not because of their weapon level, but because they know how the game works, know how to move, and are a good shot. :D (playing vs someone who can consistently get headshots is annoying, as in any game). Despite the leveling system, Loadout is still a skill based game.

    ---
    Speculation: Apparently more weapon components, maps, and characters will be added in the future, so hopefully those will keep population more-or-less constant, as the biggest issue, I find, with any shooter is a divergence in population, especially between map related DLCs or expansions.    … Expand

Making use of a smooth, fluid, and fast movement system Loadout plays nothing like the average CoD clone. Gameplay focuses on movement mechanics combined with a wide variety of weapon mechanics. Hitscan domination is not the name of this game!

    The game prides itself on its weapon system allowing for immense customization of your killing utensils. This isn't cosmetic customization either (though that IS coming), but rather mechanical and statistic differentiation. Want a 6 barreled homing rocket launcher delivering flak tesla payloads? Well look no more. The options are near endless and the weapons all behave differently with varying pros and cons. No more false variety that games like CoD deliver en masse. This is real customization.

    The art style is over the top, crude, cartoony, and immature done surprisingly stylishly. Animations are slick and enjoyable all around. The game is colorful yet graphic. There is a lot of humor of the crass and immature variety sprinkled in by the developers, but it creates an enjoyable atmosphere.

    The game is still young in its development as the dev team has promised continuing support as long as it remains economically viable. New weapon systems, improved matchmaking, additional customization options, ladders, clan support, and much more is all coming. Still, the game is already worth checking out.

    Fast-paced, funny, and free!

    It's like TF2, Gunz, Quake, and UT3 had a bastard son. If you're a fan of frenetic shooters, definitely take a look at Loadout. The only things that can be purchased for real money are cosmetic/convenience items, so it's nowhere near pay-to-win.

    Best f2p game I've played in a long time.

    Don't be fooled by the low user score this game has currently been given due to connection problems. On the first few days of release as a free to play game there are guaranteed problems, and these will be fixed with time.

Games    Don't be fooled by the low user score this game has currently been given due to connection problems. On the first few days of release as a free to play game there are guaranteed problems, and these will be fixed with time.

    I have experienced these problems myself, however I've looked past this and have also experienced the most fun I've had in a free to play game in a long time. Games are fast paced with plenty of ways to kill and be killed. Weapon creation and modification allows players to personalize their loadout as they wish and think of the most creative or possibly offensive weapon names before entering the battlefield. Use of skill trees allows players to unlock weapon upgrades with experience earned during matches however this is not a grind. After playing a few games I found myself able to purchase the upgrades I wanted.

    his game IS NOT a pay to win, with all weapon modifications unlocked through experience rather than real world money. The game makes it's money however through character customization, and it is this that makes the game so hilarious to play. Ever wanted to run through a battlefield with your penis out? Well in Loadout you can do that buy purchasing this "item of clothing" from the in game store. There are currently three characters to choose from, all of who can be customized with a large selection of items. Anything from Facial hear and masks to knee pads all with various options in each category. If you have the money to spend you can make a character that really suits you.

    The animations in this game are also great with plenty of cartoon style gore which can be turned off in the settings but why would you do that? ... Characters shot with rockets can run around with holes in their stomachs, burned players appear burned to a crisp, and body parts seem to be attached just by a thread all while the player is still alive and this makes dying slightly more enjoyable. Especially when you see your character raise a middle finger just before death. It is clear to see the developers have made humor a key feature in this game, especially with the vast amount of taunts available to purchase from the store. Forget tea bagging manually, just hit the taunt button and see your character humiliate your opponent without having to do a thing. There are plenty of these animations to choose from and multiple taunts can be set to one character so you can change things up when you please.

    This game offers various game modes such as a "Capture the Flag" like mode called Jackhammer where two teams fight to capture the hammer, which can also be used as a weapon while being escorted back to base. There is also general capture the point mode called Blitz where each team must fight over the designated control points in order to take control. As well as this there is a mode similar to kill confirmed in the Call of Duty series called Death Snatch. One of the more different game modes however is called Extraction and sets two teams against each other where their job is to collect Blutonium ore and deposit it to their team grinders. There is one set collector who is changed upon death, while the rest of the team attack or defend in order to win. These modes are a lot of fun however there could be more.

    This is not a professional review so don't expect me to get all of the points in however this is a genuinely brilliant and fun game, especially being free to play. And what makes it better is that you don't need to spend ANYTHING to have fun. As of now i haven't spent a penny and I love it. I would recommend this game to anyone and advise people not to listen to low scores based on bugs because these will be sorted.

    More game modes, more characters and more weapon classes would make this game better which is why i'm giving it 8/10.    … Expand

    Loadout is fast paced, gory and hilarious. Couple that with mind boggling weapon customization and you end up with a huge change of pace from other popular shooters. Also players can only buy cosmetic items with real money. In order to upgrade their weapons and do more damage, they actually have to PLAY to win. Its free to play so really there is no reason not to check it out.

On the downside, Loadout is also one of the buggiest games I've ever played, both on the client and server-side. Aside from a wide variety of crashes and connectivity problems, the game has a lot of collision detection bugs (especially with the terrain) that some players exploit (shooting up through the floor or mini-teleporting by dodging into certain walls.) These aren't beta bugs, this has been going on for the past six months since release, with each update introducing nearly as many bugs as it fixes. Then there's the team size: having four player teams can be nice at times, but to always restricting the game to 4x4 limits where the gameplay can go. The best example is the generally disliked Comm Tower map, which is far too big for 4x4. Despite these frustrations, I've still played Loadout a lot because it has so many strengths. Since it is in active development these issues may be resolved one day.… Expand

It seems that at one time it was unlimited and there was some bogus reason why that odd cap was implemented. Unlike Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, the game stays consistent at 111-113 FPS for me on a high-spec machine. It runs well and does not stutter; it is optimized in my experience at least.

    The game reminds me of Halo 3 multiplayer with how I play it at least. I see some players (including myself) jumping around in close combat situations. It is this hectic hysteria that reminds me of Halo. It is also fairly balanced. Unlike Halo though, it isn't a console exclusive and it's free and has butts!

    I definitely recommend this game, ignoring that it is free. The fact that it's free (as long as you don't have some kind of data cap on Wi-Fi) means that everyone with a half decent PC can try it. Give it a try.    … Expand

    This is the best game since sliced bread. It is extremely fast-paced and is such a new style of video games. If you are scared like anyone that it might be like tf2, they are extremely wrong.

    The game balance between paid players and free-to-play loyalists is perfect - with microtransactions being used only for cosmetics and extra weapon/loadout slots, the weapon customization is extremely fun and intuitive to use, the gameplay itself is mad, fast, and jumbles of fun without being as twitchy or competitive as conventional arena shooters like Quake, the gamemodes are variedThe game balance between paid players and free-to-play loyalists is perfect - with microtransactions being used only for cosmetics and extra weapon/loadout slots, the weapon customization is extremely fun and intuitive to use, the gameplay itself is mad, fast, and jumbles of fun without being as twitchy or competitive as conventional arena shooters like Quake, the gamemodes are varied enough to leave you coming back for more, and the humor is insane and parodically exaggerated in stark contrast to the sophomoric "jokes" of some other games!

    Put simply, Loadout is a great game that's free to play, and one year into its release, the developers are still hard at work putting in new features and listening to community feedback.    … Expand

    Graphics: For a F2P game I'm absolutely blown away with the graphics. I would like to have a few more advance options to fine tune a few things.

    Game Play: I've currently logged 5 days on the game and can honestly say this game play is one of the most fast paced games I've played in a long while.. Do not get the idea of camping in this game or you will die and not have a good time.    Graphics: For a F2P game I'm absolutely blown away with the graphics.

    Bugs: there are a few bugs out there right now, one dealing with the friends list. Where your friends list just goes away and you have to restart steam to make it work again. Also there is a few bugs within the game where you can glitch through a hill or cliff.

    My personal thoughts: I think EoR has provided a great F2P game with a "Play to Win" model. I feel they've done a great job communicating with its users that they are currently working on all of the issues the community is complaining about and have kept the community informed. I feel that this game has massive amounts of of potential. If you have any questions or would like to see Loadout played on a higher level please feel free to visit me at twitch.tv/mostlysober and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions that you guys may have!    … Expand

    This game is probably the best FTP in a long time or ever! Quick pace, good maps with more coming, and you can't use real world money to get better weapons. Sorry lazy gamers, you gotta earn it. Try it out. I doubt you will be disappointed. Enjoy.

    Loadout is one of my favourite games. Though, it may remind some players of Team Fortress 2, due to the cartooney graphics (which is a good thing about this game), it still is and will be my most-liked games.

The fact that you have to pay real money for looks, but not for dominance over other players (a.k.a pay2win scheme) is awesome! The only thing I can point out is disbalance, amount of spots for campers and some bugs, but overall, it's a likable game for a casual player.… Expand

    Lots of fun and free on steam at the moment. Runs smooth on all our computers. My kids all play with us, great family fun on a hot summer day. I would say its Fast paced chaos. Should of rated it a 9 now that I think about it.

    Very fun shooter - Fun graphic and animation LOVE-it !. Made your own weapon according to your own play style - that is what i like most. Run very well on a medium hardware - anyway read carefully minimal specs :)

    Even without the new weapon parts, characters and maps that will be joining the roster, it's a worthy side-dish to whatever passes for your multiplayer main course. [Issue#145, p.121]

    Loadout’s gun customization and well executed twists on shooter staples make it a free-to-play game that doesn't feel like a compromise.

    As a shooter, Loadout has a lot to recommend it. It’s fast, fluid, gratifying, varied, slick, and largely unsullied by its free-to-play business model. In other words, no, this isn’t Team Fortress. And, frankly, it doesn’t need to be.
