"LANDMASS" Open Beta Test in Korea



Just read this article on the latest ed of Game Watch. "Land Mass" is an FPS set in the near future where up to 32 soldiers (16 vs 16) blast the hell out of each other in Power Suits called, "Mo Rats" that come in the Assault, Sniper, Defender (HEAD SHOT BOOM), and Engineer varieety. (Click on the link above for more images.)

The Assault Kit mainly utilizes an assault rifle and shotgun, the Sniper Kit a Sniper Rifle & Shotgun, Engineers use SMGs (sub machine guns) and mines, while the Defender Kit uses Missiles and a Gattling Gun. Akin to BF, hit shift for a speed boost.

The game runs on the Unreal 2.5 Engine and according to this article is reminiscent of Unreal Tournament 2004. There are 9 maps, and 3 game modes, Death Match, Team Death Match and Operation mode where two teams try to wrest the information out of a black box (eliminate the other team or gain control of the right black box--there are two on a map and one might be the wrong one!--for 10 seconds.)

Sounds like fun?

Okay, well, apparently there is an Item Shop too. Usually Item Shops mean you have to pay real cash money for stuffs, and if so, BOO. Of course, you can't access these until you finish cadet training and get promoted. I checked the official site but didn't see a blatant cash shop--then again, my expertise is not Korean, it's Japanese. :( If anyone knows more, comment pwease.

Here's the official site below:

If you have the chance to try it out, don't be shine! Share the info!
