GunBound

Anyone heard of this game? It's like a multiplayer online Scorched Earth or Worms (with about worms WT graphic quality), two teams composed of tanks, each one with their own special attacks. As you play you get money and your ranking goes up, and you can buy powerups like a Japanese RPG (armor, helmet, etc)

You can get the game here, and then you have to register, you have a buddy list and all. Maybe we could even make some SD.Net clan

I've played, and still do... Metal axe.

Handle is the same as the one here.

Yup. Been playing for somewhere around a month. Silver axe right now. Name's Shadwhawk, but I'm already a member of a guild.

I'm using the handle "KillerJawa", only started playing last week, I'm a stone axe or something...

Been playing off an on for about a week, but only Double Wood hammer.

I play on an off too. 4 or 5 battles every couple days, etc.
It's nice tho that it's not THAT important to play 24/7 like MMORPGs, leveling up and crap. There's always "avatar off" servers even if it really gets bad.

Wow, seeing how a shareware game like this is 5th on GameFAQs PC top ten FAQ and message board, I will definately be downloading it.

Slartibartfast · Post by **Slartibartfast** » 2003-12-22 05:04am

It's not really Shareware. I think it's a open free beta. Probably will stop being free after it's the final version (hopefully not), but I guess I'll play it as long as it stays free

I'm Rubberanvil and still have a single wooden mallet.

It mainly depends on how much money they receive in donations to determind whether or not the game remains free.

For those of you wondering donations enable the donating players to receive much additional funding to buy gear for their avaters.

Only that this one is actually worth something as a game

production values are pretty close (if not superior) to one of the later 2d Worms games.

Only if you ignore the poor netcode, annoying interface, chancy hit detection, freaky-assed Boomer physics, annoying Trico shot changes (fire to left: #2 comes out horizontally. Fire to the right: Comes out perpindicular to your angle), mobiles desparately in need of balancing, broken/missing features, poor translations, and mostly-worthless items.

I still play it, though.

Anyway, one of my friends (RL friends) just made this:

Pretty good huh?

TROGDOR!!!!!!

Once you get used to the overshoot, the baby is nearly unbeatable. Except for the fact that the entire other team seems to gang up on poor dragon

I heard GunBound is the place where the losers too whiny and bitchy to play Counterstrike go to.

Hope I'm wrong.

You do get a lot of assholes who think they're better than everybody else and scream "OMG NUB!"
