Augmented Reality Defense And First Shooter Games

By Jason Cole


When it comes to war games, virtual reality is now taking on themes which relate to past world events. For example, Front Defense is an augmented reality defense game based on, and puts players in the middle of, World War II. As such, it is important that those planning on playing this game understand that is more graphic and violent than most.

Front Defense is an arcade style based VR shooter game set at the end of World War II. While the invasion at Normandy is over, other firefights in the war have just started. At this point, Front Defense puts the player in the place of an Allied Forces hero attempting to fight off the last attacks by the Axis in a fictional town.

VR allows for some of the most realistic scenes, style and scope than other games in the same category. While this is the case, the weaponry is massive including man-mounted guns, grenades, assault rifles and others. For, when it came to battles during World War II, these and other weapons were essential in overtaking the enemy.

Created by some of the best developers and designers, the game provides the heaviest weaponry possible, reflecting the reality of World War II. As with war, the game uses precision, VR, battlefield and room scaling to provide realistic scenes which have been known to leave players feeling like active members of a unit during the war. For, the main priority behind Front Defense was to leave players feeling as if one were actually at war.

Front Defense is often reported to be one of the most intense, active and realistic games available. For, the intensity and experience of the WWII shooter is the first to use precision tracking and room scaling. As a result, the player has the power to create positions which are more strategic and highlighted when enemy forces take over a European town. While the game is based in actual events, some scenes may be different in architectural style than during World War II.

Other features include being able to use a wide variety and style of weaponry from heavy firearms and grenades to lighter ones. A player can also use dive bombers, tanks and armored cars in an effort to defeat opposing forces. With one of the most dramatic plays being to take on a mysterious Axis super powered weapon during the final minutes of the game, the finale is often considered more than climatic among gamers worldwide.

While these games have often been controversial, it seems most are becoming more accepted. For, it has been discovered that a number of individuals have been using the games for stress relief, which could actually provide positive aspects. At the same time, it is recommended that children under 18 be supervised whether playing Front Defense or other first shooter games.

The specifications of the game are that it is a one player first shooter game with leader boards. It is important before beginning play to note that the game is Windows based and compatible with Windows 7 and later. As the game is a dedicated Windows game, it will not work with other operating systems. In fact, attempting to play the game on anything other than Windows 7 or later operating system could cause irreversible damage to the game and operating system.
