They’ll also take and use vehicles appropriately and the team AI selects a complementary mix of loadouts for the bots.Ĭurrently, there’s only one map. The bots spread out and flank as necessary, co-operating effectively to capture flags and destroy enemy transports. Perhaps most impressively, the AI works very nicely (well, for the most part). Ravenfield also features semi-realistic projectile physics, including bullet drop, travel time, and spread, and the weapons have appreciable recoil, so you need to lead targets and fire in short, controlled bursts (i.e.
A/D for roll, mouse for yaw and pitch reversed). In particular, I find the helicopter difficult to fly with the default key bindings as I’m so used to my BF4 set-up (i.e. Though I would like to see some proper control customisation. Importantly, these handle reasonably well and are tactically useful. The attack chopper even has a gunner’s seat, or you can sit in the back of transports lighting up bad guys while one of the bots drives. So, you can be a sniper or an assault trooper, you can take a dumb-fire rocket for dealing with armour, or you can carry ammo or medic bags to support the front-line troops.Įnriching the experience are a variety of vehicles such as helicopters, jeeps, and boats that both you and the bots can utilise. Like the Battlefield games there are a range of weapons and gadgets to choose from before you deploy, essentially allowing you to create your own role.
Plus, you can also win by controlling all the objectives. Holding flags not only provides additional spawn points but also increases your score multiplier. You do this by working together with the bots in your team to capture flags and “murderising” those pesky reds. The aim is to beat the enemy’s score by 200 points. Modelled on Battlefield’s flagship conquest mode, it plays out in a similar vein to the solo mode in BF2. What began as an experiment with AI and ragdolls has evolved into a tactical and well-made single player FPS. RavenfieldĪre you bored to death of Battlefield 4 and weren’t lucky enough to receive an invite to the BF1 closed alpha (sadly, I can tick both of those boxes)? Then perhaps in the interim you can console yourself with a round or two of Ravenfield.
Although this week I had to wade through way more garbage than usual to find some good stuff! Anyway, this week’s highlighted titles are: Ravenfield, a Battlefield-flavoured single player FPS and Looking Back, a narrative-driven exploration game about empathy and grief. Always short of a few bob and looking for something a bit different, each week I scour the internet for fun, interesting, or just plain curious Indie Freebies.
