Live and fight as a soldier... "follow a soldier's perspective in every aspect possible to create the most realistic and unique experience anyone can have" (http://sfront.ijji.com/index.nhn)

This is the basis of what Soldier Front was created and developed for.

Mrs. Harrigan was kind enough to tell me about a fairly popular online military FPS (first person shooter) called Soldier Front by ijji. I was told that Soldier Front was being played by quite a few people in the library, so I thought I would give it a try.

First and foremost, the specs...

Basic Specs:
In order to begin playing Soldier Front, you first need an account with ijji.com so that you can play SF and many of the other free online games. After the installation of basic software, and logging onto the standard online lobbies, channels, and rooms, you have to create and customize your own soldier using points awarded along with your very own codename.

Customizing your Character/Weapons:

Controls:

Gameplay:

Thoughts: After a good deal of gameplay, I find that Soldier Front is not as bad as it seems for a free online FPS. The graphics are quite decent, considering you're playing on a standard PC. It may not be as detailed like Call of Duty 4, but for not having to pay, it's a good deal. The ability to customize your characters and specific weapons is what I love in FPS-type games, and the way Soldier Front delivers on this concept is done well. My only problem with Soldier Front is that the online play requires some experience in playing PC FPS. If you've only played shooters on consoles like Xbox or Playstation, then it may take some getting used to in order to really maximize your chances to winning. Also, there are some problems with online play. If you're completely new to the game, do not expect to survive very long in a game. However, this is usually the case in any competitive shooters. Other than that, I think Soldier Front is worth a try if you have some free time on your hands.

As always, questions, comments, thoughts, opinions are all welcomed.

I just need to figure out how to stop dying...
