Feedback for Be Free or Die (Shooter game)

I can help. I've played eliminate, mc, crazy turkey blast, etc.

 

Sure

I can help. I've played all sorts of shooters like fps, on-rails, dual stick (which I consider my self a fan of), an side scrollers. I'll say more when I see your game.

Edit, I say a joystick to move and swipe anywhere to look would work best.

 

I prefered dual stick, it was hard to use at first but I eventually got used to them. The touchscreen method was bit clunky and hard to turn in zombies.

Dual stick for automatic- it depends how hectic the game is. In zombies it had a sperate button for shoot, but it also had aim-assist, so it balanced out. Plus the zombies were pretty slow sometimes.
For eliminate it was tap once to shoot once and tap twice to shoot automatically. This IMO was better for when you have infinite (or lots of) ammo and the opponents moved around quickly.

 

i personally find touch screen to be the best control scheme. it's similar to dual stick, but rather then having a right "stick", you can slide anywhere on the screen to look around. there's still a left stick to move with.

this is the control scheme for modern combat: sandstorm and nova (not out yet). i find it works extremely well in modern combat

 

the default controls on MC:sandstorm is very good. they improved it in the multiplayer update. its more fluent and easy to control. try out the lite if you dont own it and youll see how good it is now

 

only thing, does that make it really easy for HEADSHOTS? its supposed to be a challenge

 

Okay this should be in game discussion and questions.

Now as for feedback, I found the MC:S joystick on the right to move, Touch and anywhere on the screen and drag it to the direction you want to look, a button for shooting/etc., and tap the weapon to reload.

Now I haven't played your game but I find that these controls would work well for any FPS. I heard Eliminate's controls are superb, correct me if I'm wrong as I never played the game.

 

Modern Combat : Sandstorm

 

Okay I started playing this game, and ts pretty good! Feels just like left4dead! The levels aren't linear, instead they are wide open which allows for more zombies and action. The graphics aren't half bad for the iPhone. Actually I thought they were pretty good!
But yes the controls need work. In this game MC:S controls scheme would work best. Move your aim by dragging around your finger on the screen and move with a pad on the left. This game could be pretty big if the controls were fixed.
My only other problems were the lack of zombies on screen at a time, the sound effects of zombies (it should be raw throated screaming), the amount of damage the zombies deal is too high (one attack nearly killed me in 4 seconds), and I got lost a bunch of times so a map would be helpful. Oh also a radar for like 20 metets around you showing the zombies, kinda kills some of the suspense but it's a necessity if the controls don't work out.
And of course multiplayer would be awesome but no pressure

 

Are there threads on TA about this game? If there are I'm surprised it's been passed over, people can't resist zombie shooting games.

Oh and I just gotthe crap scared out of me by a zombie that snuck up on me. I literrally got scared. Do the zombies come back from the dead like in halo:combat evolved? Sure feels like it...

 

The game is actually quite good, but here are a few suggestions:

1. Change the icon - it's really weird.
2. Headshots should do more damage.
3. There should be something that's hinting at where you should go or what you should do, in the second or third level I actually got lost...
4. Controls. Are. Horrible. Actually, they're not, but I can't use multitouch, so I have to look around AND move with one finger. A bit annoying.

That's about it for now.
