I’ve got it downloaded. I’ll give it a go tomorrow.

I like it. I never played the original (was too busy playing Counter-Strike and Action HL2). I really dig the fact that I can save weapon loads and switch them between respawns. I now have a new set of levels to learn.

There’s a torrent kicking about it for it, but not sure how decent it is. Otherwise the venomgamelabs server isn’t too bad.

The original Firearms is pretty much my favourite multiplayer game ever. It doesn’t get credited with enough in my opinion. Most shooters nowadays are based on Firearms, but aren’t as good, e.g. Cod.

Anyway, really excited about this, but can’t download it! The UK servers only download a 2meg file. I think the problem is at my end though. But still… SADFACE!

Bit of a turbulent release, as we’ve had some unexpected server instability. However, it’s otherwise gone quite well and we’re getting plenty of feedback form people.

FAS is a very oldschool sort of FPS with pretty high movement speed and lower damage from weapons than yer Call of Dutys and the like. It’s absolutely not to everyones taste, but it’s a game where teamwork is really important and there’s loads of scope for players to do things the way they want with loadout and skill customisation.

Do give it a go and let us know what you think.
