This review is written by Michael Grantham from MMOSite forum.

On the 15/9/17, the greatly anticipated free-to-play MMORPG, Exteel was finally released for open-beta, allowing gamers to jump in and experience, first hand, the brutal, metal grinding, combat that one would expect from giant gun and sword wielding mechanized giants hell-bent on nothing, but the oblivion of one another. And having spent a few sleepless nights testing my metal, as it were, on the pvp severs, I am one happy reviewer and proud to announce, this game certainly lived up to all its expectations. Yet, of course being little more than a humble gamer myself, this is only my opinion and I would greatly encourage anyone interested in trying the game, to do so.

Essentially, the main theme of this game is pvp action, so if you are not into hunting down both friend and foe and slashing chunks of metal from their armor, right before placing a well-aimed bullet between their eyes, I would think that this is not the type of game for you.

When you first launch the game, you will be taken through a short tutorial process. Though you can end this at any time, I strongly recommend that you see it through. This brief introduction to the game will take you, systematically, through the basics of game play, such as movement, dashing, jumping, aiming, melee combat and utilizing the environment in order to protect yourself from incoming fire. Trust me; the last one is a crucial skill to learn for anyone who has desires of becoming skilled in this game. Furthermore, completing the advanced tutorial lessons will also enable you to get yourself some free gear, including one very large siege cannon, a sword and shield, two smgs and a pair of long distance rifles.

The controls of the game are WASD for movement and double tapping for boot. Your two mouse buttons basically represent each of your arms, left activating what is held in that hand and right, what ever is held in the right hand.

a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now

Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream

Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
