I love blacklight but i find that if you want anything good you need to pay up. Its going to take you awhile to get a gun other than the starter as they cost thousands. And i hope you didnt want to level up and get kills when you first start cause there is absolutely no matchmaking unless you wait 60 minutes.

I started playing this gaem on my ps4 but when i got my new rig this was the first game i went paly. btw i have a 950m v2 4gb ddr5 GPU and a core i5 3.4ghx cpu so might not perform as well for you but if u meet the recomended requirments yoru will love this. This game is like a fps mmo its online and has many modes to pick. the way you get iterms is sick and you get moeny to buy guns and other stuff through killing other people in game. overall the graphhics are insane and i did not belive you only need a 1gb GPU so i was mo0re than up to the job it looks like the latest COD but not quite battlefield one. over all this should be a AAA title avlibel over all systems and you can this on allmost any laptop and pc with a 512mb GPU so yes AMD Radeon R5 users there is a game you can play!!!

Best F2P game i ever played. even the server coding is good so that even if i have 200 ping i feel significantly less lag then i would be in other games. sadly their servers are mostly based in eu / usa so asia people will have to play with a slight delay. not really noticeable tho.

I really enjoy this game. While it does have a shadow of a pay-to-win ethos, the guns are all reliable enough to do sufficient damage that teamplay will overwhelm one Rambo with the best gun. That's what I enjoy about this: people are happy to work as a team! The down side, I must say, is I cannot now find anyone else online :( it is as if the game has died. However, with 11,000+ positive reviews, I'm LFG for some great rounds! Even if the devs have gone to Xbox support, this has plenty of replayability with the right teammates. Try it out. Get some friends in on it too as it's a proper LAN party game!

Very fun free FPS with customization but - bad movement - unforgiving pricing model for free to players - the radar scanning thing is not a good idea - boring maps
