If you enjoy playing "Battlefield 2" and would like to experience a more frequently changing and updated gaming experience, War Rock is definitely worth trying.
Likely to remain a bog-basic, reassuringly free shooter that you might just pick up and play in an idle moment on your laptop. Very, very occasionally, in other words. [Apr 2007, p.72]

Certainly when I played it (2007) this game was very good. It sort of combined counter-strike with abttlefield. You have round-based Search & Destroy CQC combat, but you also get huge maps with vehicles- choppers, tanks, jets, bikes, jeeps etc. The gameplay wasn't broken. Weapons were balanced, all game modes and maps were fun, graphics were dated but not too bad considering it's free to play. It was generally a fun and addicting experience. The only issues were hackers (as with any free MMOFPS) and major lag. The gun play, sound, maps and classes were spot on though.

Not that great ****... but still better than any F2P Title released by Electronic Arts.

It's an ugly game, its sound effects get annoying very quickly, and the shooting mechanics aren't very sophisticated. It's free, however, but that's about the best thing that can be said about it.
In the year 2007, subscribers shouldn’t have to worry about sever stability and debilitating amounts of lag, nor should they have to suffer through a substandard interface or bargain-bin audio.
A decent enough online shooter. If you really need another one. [Apr 2007, p.89]
It's not that War Rock doesn't have a good idea for gameplay direction, as the persistent ranking and economy is an idea that the genre has yet to fully explore. At the same time this direction has no momentum behind it and sometimes seems haphazard at best in its implementation.
The nagging question is why on earth should a second-rate FPS game that's so indebted to its peers - and one of which, in the case of BF2, does a persistent character thing for free - think it can get away with demanding a subscription fee for any of its content? Answer: It really can't.
If you pay, you're God; if you don't, you're just a poor noob. That's all what you need to know when you play this game. You need to pay to get some weapons, which may expire in some time! Is that a joke? Apart for this, this game would get a 3, because it's still bad: boring and very bad gameplay, as well as the multiplayer, graphics and sound. Also, MP is very closed.

This might the most disgusting shooter I've ever played. The controls feel awkward and not only when trying to handle a vehicle, the guns have no feeling in them, the physics are despicable for it's date, the user interface is not friendly at all, and for the cake's icing, it's unplayable by the lag and the amount of hackers, huge disappointment on it's current condition, not worth trying even while it's free.

Thought I would give this game a go because some people told me it was good and for a free game worth playing. Downloaded and installed the game no problem but when launching that's when the problems started. It took me nearly 1 hour to install the patch because it kept stopping at certain percentages, would close it down and try again.
Joined the lobby for a game and this was when I was beginning to hate it. You would join a game and you would either get kicked from it or the host would not start the round. I'd heard about people hacking in this and was a bit worried, thought it would be just little kids whining about getting beat. How wrong was I! I've been playing these types of games now since 2001 but when you see people getting headshots all the time you start to wonder. There was even a guy spamming the chat channel with a link to a hack site for this game. Even if you want to report them you have to have video evidence of them cheating otherwise they won't do anything about it.
If I was you I would avoid it at all costs, not worth installing onto your system. You would be better paying a few quid extra and getting either Counterstrike: Source or Counterstrike: Global Offensive.
