Definitely not for everyone. Mostly aimed at people that enjoy counter-strike-like games. Jump in and play for 15 minutes or hours. 15$ isn't exactly expensive for the quality of gameplay and art/graphics they're releasing.

I lost a good portion of the interest I had in this game when I saw that Blinding Arrow projectile turn in mid-flight. I hope that either a) I'm seeing things that aren't actually there or b) that they get rid of that if what I saw was real. I can't see homing projectiles adding anything rewarding to this game at all.

Circlestrafing and hard cc?

Well, good luck anyway.

He circlestrafed cause he do more damage from behind.

Seems like it would get pretty boring after awhile. Had my FPS fix during the 90's. Don't really care much for em anymore.

If it was an MMOFPS that would be different, but it just looks like an FPS with mixed FPS and hotkey combat.

Lol to see Reckfull playing that :) he was like the top 3 rogue in WoW for many years in arena :)

Still after playing wow arena so much i cant get warm and fuzy for Forge.

But this must be fun for those who like arena + manual targeting.

Wow, that game failed so bad that even when people talk about failed game they forget that it ever existed...I wonder if Fury was realised in some f2p wouldnt it still be alive...

They have both hitscan projectiles and those which you have to predict using. Given that the core ones are slower shots, they are aligned more with hitscan than the faster projectiles. Personally see no issue given that if you aim at someone in CS they'll get shot in the head no matter the distance as long as you have your aim on them. Same deal with this. But regardless, they will have some quake like projectiles as well, just not the core abilities.

Absolutely, given that it's something arena players always wanted. Manual aim, no rooting in place when using abilities and gear which have no stats. Leaves for easy balanced 5v5 and upwards fights!
