После обязательной регистрации и установки левого лаунчера вас ждёт всё, что угодно, но не миссии. То чёрный экран, то вылет. Зато выпала ачивка "Добро пожаловать в игру". Терпеть не могу такую манипуляцию. И более того, здесь половина достижений сломана и не работает. Идеальная игра, чтобы сломать вам статистику.
Игра построена по классической схеме сетевых FPS нулевых. Небольшие карты, режимы вроде командного боя и закладки бомбы, прокачка оружия и экипировки. Темп достаточно высокий, стрельба аркадная, упор сделан на реакцию и знание карт. Это не тактический милсим, а скорее динамичный аркадный шутер. Система прогрессии завязана на получении валюты, открытии оружия и кастомизации. При этом чувствуется влияние free to play модели. Есть внутриигровые покупки, временное оружие и элементы, ускоряющие развитие. Это может создавать дисбаланс между новичками и теми, кто вкладывает деньги или играет давно. Графически проект выглядит устаревшим. Модели и анимации простые, визуальные эффекты минимальные. Однако благодаря этому игра не требует мощного железа и запускается практически на любом ПК. Плюсы: Динамичные и быстрые матчи Низкие системные требования Классические режимы для любителей старых онлайн шутеров Минусы: Устаревшая графика и анимации Донат и элементы, влияющие на баланс Со временем ощущается однообразие В итоге BlackShot: Mercenary Warfare FPS - это шутер для тех, кто скучает по старым сетевым перестрелкам без лишней глубины и сложных механик.

Fui dono do melhor clã de faca do jogo na época que era AÇOUGUEIROS e jogava pelo Garena, mas o jogo é paytowin infelizmente, não tem nem chance contra as armas pagas.
The OG Game, better than CS2. 0 Cheaters, a good anti-cheat system. In love with this game!
--- BlackShot: Mercenary Warfare FPS (433350) — Borked System: Gentoo Linux, AMD GPU (amdgpu/radeonsi), Flatpak Steam, Proton Experimental / GE-Proton10-29 Status: Game launcher (Patcher.exe) can be made functional with workarounds. The game itself (blackshot.exe) crashes at the "PreGamer" stage with an Access Violation (Exception Type 11 at 0x40e0b1). Most likely cause: BattlEye anti-cheat has not been enabled for Proton by the developer (Vertigo Games/PapayaPlay). --- Issues encountered & workarounds applied: 1. Patcher.exe "Assertion failed" on startup - Wine C++ Runtime assertion: !status in steamclient_main.c:375 - Non-fatal, can be dismissed 2. Embedded browser in Patcher broken (account creation/login page) - The Patcher uses an embedded IE/MSHTML WebBrowser control for the PapayaPlay signup page (https://www.papayaplay.com/steam/signup.do) - Under Proton, this renders as a grey window or the form buttons don't work (JavaScript incompatibility with Wine's MSHTML/Gecko) - Tried: protontricks 433350 ie8, wininet — did not fix it - Workaround: Binary-patch Patcher.exe to replace the signup URLs with a local file:///C:/close.html that triggers bsapp://close (the protocol the Patcher listens for to proceed after signup). This can be automated via a launch script since Steam/Patcher may overwrite the binary. 3. Account creation via web browser - PapayaPlay signup page (https://www.papayaplay.com/steam/signup.do?serviceid=6&steamid=<STEAMID64>) has a broken regex pattern validation in modern browsers: pattern='[a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*()~-]{8,20}'is invalid with the/v` flag - Use browser console to remove the pattern attribute, or use alphanumeric-only password (8-20 chars) 4. System/steam_appid.txt contains wrong ID - Ships with 480 (Spacewar) instead of 433350 — fix by writing 433350 into the file 5. Game crash: BlackShot_EU has stopped working - After successful login, blackshot.exe crashes immediately in PreGamer phase - CrashRpt shows Access Violation in blackshot.exe at 0x40e0b1 - Proton BattlEye Runtime (1161040) installed — does not help - Root cause: BattlEye Proton/Linux support has NOT been enabled by the developer. Without developer opt-in, BattlEye-protected games cannot run under Proton. Launch options used: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS=@im=none bash /path/to/BlackShot/launch.sh %command% launch.sh (auto-patches signup URL on every start): #!/bin/bash DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)" PATCHER="$DIR/Patcher.exe" python3 -c " import sys p = sys.argv[1] data = bytearray(open(p, 'rb').read()) new = b'file:///C:/close.html' changed = False for sig in [b'https://www.papayaplay.com/steam/signup.do?serviceid=6&steamid=', b'https://www.papayaplay.com/steam/signup.do?serviceid=1&steamid=']: pos = data.find(sig) if pos != -1: data[pos:pos+len(sig)] = new + b'\x00' * (len(sig) - len(new)) changed = True if changed: open(p, 'wb').write(data) " "$PATCHER" 2>/dev/null exec "$@" close.html (place in Wine prefix drive_c/close.html): <html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=bsapp://close"></head></html> Verdict: Borked — The game cannot proceed past login due to BattlEye not supporting Proton. The developer would need to enable BattlEye's Proton compatibility for this to work.
Sinceramente, uma merda, sendo bem modesto ainda, joguei esse jogo em 2010, era muito bom, agora é pay to win, servidores brasileiros completamente vazios, e os outro é um lag absurdo, você acerta uma bala no oponente enquanto ele já te acertou 10, não recomendo a ninguém.
SUCH A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ UNFAIR GAME ONLY THE GUN SKIN USER WINNING THE GAME. THATS Y THIS GAME IS NOT POPULAR AT ALL......I'M UNINSTALLING THIS GAME
nostalgico!! pena que tiraram as armas que era por gold
If you're looking for a no-frills, fast-paced online shooter, BlackShot is a decent free-to-play option. It delivers classic team deathmatch and plant-the-bomb gameplay that feels like a throwback to the early 2000s era of FPS games. Don't expect a modern, polished experience, but if you can look past its age and monetization, there's some mindless fun to be had. Best played with friends.
Best game ever
