You can add one more entry into the already crowded "free-to-play FPS" genre. This week Korean-based GameHi announced that their title Sudden Attack was coming to the US. Furthermore the game is letting people sign up to beta test the game right now.
The closed beta has already begun and will end shortly on May 31. The game itself was launched in its native Korean in 2006 and the publisher claims the game is the most played FPS in that country. Sudden Attack has a lot of similar elements to other games in the genre (team-based gameplay, support for up to 16 players, upgradable weapons and items). It also has some unique elements such as an in-game water battle mode. There's no word yet on when the official US launch of the game will happen.

I just found out that the beta is available at fileplanet.Posted at 3:10PM on May 27th 2009 by gamerhammer



The Korean method of game development seems to consist of hammering one game concept into the ground until there's nothing left. First it was various fantasy RPG clones, and now its Counterstrike-type FPS clones. I really am shocked by the ability of any of these companies to remain in business.Posted at 9:36AM on May 27th 2009 by ChimpWithAHandgun
