If you haven't gotten into warframe, grinded a consistent 2000 hours and gotten burned out and then continue to periodically go into waves of installing the game again and grinding away, have you truly even lived?

I highly recommend this free-to-play MMO RTS FPS if you're into a massive clusterf*ck of 3 different factions fighting across infantry, air- and ground vehicle combat across 4 well designed massive continents.

This game offers up a unique variety of playstyles, catering to every type of player both casual and hardcore competitive in a massive arsenal of weapons and vehicles, some unique and some shared across all factions. With all the well balanced weapons, you will have a hard time deciding what you like the most, because there is so much to choose from. Vehicles are spawned by a currency called Nanites, where each and every player has the opportunity to spawn the vehicle of their liking (if enough nanites have built up over time) and managing accessibility to that vehicle via a user friendly panel to kick and restrict vehicle access.

Once you're indulged with all the various combat possibilities, you have the option to join or create a squad that consist of 12 players, thereafter you can branch a squad out into a platoon, with up to 4 squads! Creating a total of 48 possible players per platoon, this enables the leadership roles to coordinate everyone to broaden the strategic element that the game offers.

The game also enables you to create in-game outfits (clans) with a 1000+ members, helping establish communities from within which further cultivates the growth of the games development. Outfits come in all shapes and sizes from small casual outfits for friends enjoying their time together to massive communities of hardcore infantry units to shape the outcome of a battle.

Due to the scale of player population, servers are restricted to massive dedicated servers situated in the majority of populated regions such as NA, EU and AU. Although I play on a european server with 180-200 ping, I'm astonished at how well the hit registration copes with the high latency and even more amazed at how these servers host all these players at a stable rate.

For the most part the community is supportive and will look to assist and welcome new players among them, where the majority of squads are always open to anyone, regardless of their rank, to join in on the fun. With each faction exerting it's own vibe and way of doing things, you will encounter lots of different players aligning themselves with a different faction, each pledging loyalty to the cause. However do not fear, you can tell them apart easily by their distinct colors.

Vanu Sovereignty [VS] - Lasers, Drugs and Spandex, these guys don't mess around when it comes to looking fashionable as f*ck and kicking ass at the same time.
New Conglomerate [NC] - Cardboard box ninja rebels, loyalist band of brothers that persistently fail to give up, which I envy.
Terran Republic
- Imperial Scum, the empire has never looked so glorious. Hoardes of infantry marching together as one and battalions of tanks rushing to the frontlines, hardcore battle warriors that refuse to give in.From a wide variety of classes to choose from, you form another cog in the intriguing combat system that forms part of a battle. Infiltrator, Medic, Light Assault, Heavy Assault, Engineer and MAX are those to choose from, where for the most part, all of them have a contribution to the team and bring their own perks.You won't be short on unique experiences even if you play the same vehicle and use the class as every battle is different and would require an alternative way of conquering the territory across the 10km-13km continents, ranging from the lush swamplands of hossin to the rocky mountains of amerish and the artic thundra plains of esamir to the sandy seabeds of indar where battles are endless. However you will find that there is always a fan favourite: Indar - the dust II of planetside, you will see this continent most likely more than any other, as it just works well with the balance of base design with location and aesthetics.All in all this game has grabbed my attention again with the introduction of the construction system where players are enabled to harvest a natural auraxium recource known as cortium and then utilize it to build various structures as a mini makeshift base to push enemy attacks on the frontline or as a last line of defense to grab victory points through the HIVE before the opposition takes control of the majority of territory thus locking a continent for a certain amount of time with rewards spread accordingly.There's no shortage of fun out there, auraxis needs your attention.Please go easy on me as this is my first serious review, I just felt like giving my opinion on it so far. I know I didn't touch on alot of other things as I didn't want to make this too lengthy.Thanks, Hail Higby.

CS:GO Review
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.' Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette, I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.

Early Access Review
This game will involve:

-Running (alot)
-Walking
-Crouching
-Hiding in bushes for prolonged periods of time

-Running might break your legs
-Walking might get you shot
-Crouching might let you die of hunger/thirst before you can get anywhere
-Hiding in bushes is your best bet.
