Soldier Front 2
Soldier Front 2 is an online First-Person Shooter (FPS) game that takes place in an alternate future timeline in which the nations of the world have been pulled into a new cold war and an alien species has arrived on Earth. The story doesn't really matter, just get out there and have fun.

With the acquisition of Ijji by Aeria Games, Soldier Front 2 has been released. It is essentially an updated version of the old Soldier Front, and contains many unique fps elements as well as several elements similar to console FPS games. It is currently in its infancy but it is very popular nonetheless.

Soldier Front itself had a huge competitive scene back around 2007-2009, and it seems to be making a resurgence with SF2.

When starting in the game, you are only offered one of two starting guns, but you are almost immediately given the money to buy something else if you don't like them. There is a variety of weapons, from assault rifles to light machine guns to crossbows. The maps are all very fun and the weapons are all fairly balanced. It is not a pay to win game as many I have seen are, as the only real advantage you can get through money is a cooler looking gun.

There are many different modes, all of which are very fun to play too. You won't really be bored of it because of how much there is available for you to do.

Here is a list of features:


What else can I say but jump in and lets have some fun?

Not to sound like I actually know something about this game, but what exactly is unique with this game?

Looks like a modern fps.

The mechanics are nothing like most other fps games, and the meta differs greatly.

Soldier Front has historically had superior sniping mechanics to any and all other fps games, and they are back and even slightly improved in SF2. It's hard to describe, but they're nothing like CoD/BF/CA sniping mechanics.

Camping has essentially been shoved out of the meta with how most of the maps are designed, as most cover can be penetrated and most areas are accessible through multiple means(i.e. you can't sit in the room with the object the enemy is trying to secure and a machine gun and just gun them all down). It makes for quicker and more fun matches.

The game is also very fast paced compared to others of the genre. The weapon balancing is absolutely fantastic. If you're good with a particular gun, you can do very well with it regardless of the circumstances.

They also have fun game modes like shatter, which places you in a map that can be entirely destroyed(you either kill the other team or destroy the ground they stand on and watch them drop to their deaths), among others like hero(which is a moba mode essentially), and slaughter/the other xanthid modes where you are either an alien or a human(aliens all have fully unique skills), which adds a lot of variety into it. It's worth a shot.

lol, the scrims look a lot like CS:S might give this a try. Sorry I'm lazy, I skimmed the OP and didn't see anything about how to acquire the weapon customizations. Is there like ranks/levels or any sort of money system. If I missed something please yell at me.
Another thing you may want to include is whether it's free or not. (not trying to be a nitpicky douche but i am)
EDIT: just realized that the way of acquiring weapons is for a time period and its a F2P (where you are strongly urged to pay) and decided to cancel installation. It's pretty much combat arms.

It's nothing like C.A. The guns can last you for a week to a week and a half, and you start off with tons of cash. Plus, this game doesn't have hacks yet, unlike CA and other F2P FPS games. Ranking isn't that hard and the gameplay is just unique to it's own format.

The weapons you buy are all permanent. The weapons the game gives you to try out are not. You are given a whole crapton of starting cash, and you get a lot of cash every couple of levels through level 21, as well as a good couple thousand sp every 10 games or so. You get enough where you are able to buy every gun several times over as many times as you want.

As for the weapon customizations, they are based on how well you do with a weapon. If you buy a gun and you do really well with it, you unlock the customizations for a small amount of sp(it's considered a new gun altogether.)

They also give you raffle tickets called capsule(only way to get items that are not sold in the shop for both paying and nonpaying players) every month or so as an event. It is not a p2w, it isn't even close. There is literally no advantage a paying player has over any other player.
