Warzone/UGN Review: Fight or Die Anyway

==Warzone Review: Fight or Die Anyway==
Another entry in the overdone first-person genre, Warzone sets itself apart from other titles by combining both strategic and arcade-like elements blending the two flawlessly creating an unique experience. 
Singleplayer is where Warzone shines despite having the generic setting of World War Three and other overused used motifs often seen again and again in the fps genre. Despite this, Warzone somehow manages to tell a compelling and interesting story using a variety of themes with my favourite being espionage and the reference to Band of Brothers in the mission where Spike gets his parachute caught in a tree and is separated from the rest of his team. What surprised me the most is the character development, something rarely seen in an first-person shooter. Tony Delgado who is brought to life by Brian Bloom is the definition of a three dimensional character. The transition between Delgado and Spike was confusing at first, considering that Spike is the actual protagonist of the game. The story is too long but the last mission and awesome ending make it worthwhile. The singleplayer component has some replayability due to the choice of path, but this offered on some missions. 
The multiplayer mode is somewhat of a disappointment, instead of being it’s own game it borrows many features from Call of Duty but introducing some new ones such as weapon trees and unique knife animations based on movement and other factors. One notable feature is the weapon tree, allowing dedicated players to unlock better weapons for their class. Which is fun, but lacks content and depth. DECA plays it safe by sticking to the same multiplayer formula done by many developers and borrows heavily from Call of Duty and Battlefield. Warzone’s cooperative mode is fun but the fun doesn’t last long lacking replayability due to having the same missions over and over again. Battlezone 24/7 compensates the disappointing multiplayer and lackluster cooperative mode by offering warfare on a grand scale, a maximum of 150 players fight each other and for objectives across five very large and very different maps each offering unique gameplay styles. This mode is extremely fun and can be played countless of times with friends but the limitations of the Wartech 2.0 engine set it back. Lack the multiplayer, Battlezone lacks content such as weapons and vehicles but the modes grand scale makes up for this offering frantic fast paced action.
===The Verdict===
Singleplayer and Battlezone 24/7 are king and offer something new to the outdated and overdone genre, whoever the multiplayer is generic and doesn’t offer any innovation besides a couple of small features. Overall Warzone is solid and great title easily worth the money if you can overlook the multiplayer.
