Fields of Battle Reviews

I had this game on my phone first. I love this, its a blast. i also paintball in real life as well.

[EDIT] Would love to know why people find this review unhelpful. Meh. Not what I was waiting for. Okay, so it's actually one of those games that's terrible but fun anyways. It's the not Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball of old. It's definitely dumbed down. It's closer to Extreme Paintbrawl 4 with it's wacky locations and zero need to take cover. The AI is terrible at shooting and beyond dumb when it comes to moving around and using cover smartly. Even still the gameplay is smooth enough to be fun. If you enjoy going for a high kill count this game is entertaining. The game is littered with microtransactions but it's so easy to level up and unlock everything in game they might as well not be there. The graphics are absolutely abysmal. No excuse for the state of this game. No improvement from the very first Greg Hastings. The game is clearly a port of a port. The graphics engine and assets were ported from console to mobile and the full mobile game was ported directly to PC with no changes. You'd figure the 8th most played game online for the original Xbox would have spawned a franchise that gets at least slightly better with multiple sequels but no. We got one decent sequel, a crap sequel, a mobile port and a port of the mobile port. Each game worse than the last except for Maxed. The VR is actually REALLY good suprisingly and saves this game. When games give you full locomotion rather than teleportation that usually makes me extremely sick. After a full hour of playing this game not even the slightest twinge of motion sickness. No idea how they did it but kudos. There's nothing quite like snapping out of a bunker using your actual body rather than some button. This game IS NOT MULTIPLAYER!! Basically every match you join a lobby (no offline modes) and start a match. The actual match will be with all bots. At the end of the match it will track your kill count. Which ever real life player ends the match with the most kills wins. This game is crap. This game is fun. For $10 I recommend it.

Great game! It was a rainy day here and my son and I still got to play paintball in VR. Gotta get the paintball fix! one suggestion, Play vs. other VR players. The bots are OK but would love to play against other VR players, with voice chat.

Playing only in VR. Just took the jump. The game plays awesome and performance is great. The microtransactions make me a bit leery but with how much of an advantage VR users have over phone users, you make money so quickly. You also get $20 worth of in game cash which will buy you everything. The game is great for jumping in and playing rounds. Very fast loading and getting to the fun parts. I absolutely love how you shoot better when you are holding the gun like a real paintball gun aiming down the side. The game feels great in that sense. What I think is missing is the urgency of getting to cover because the AI is not accurate enough. The asyncronous PvP is also really neat for this. Multiplayer is hard for VR due to population so you can always have an active game no matter how many people are playing. Great game to just get in and play a few rounds.

I awaited this game for PC for a long time, and while it's graphics aren't the best, nor is the gameplay epic, this is still a fun game to play. Everyone bitching that this sucks or its poor quality doesn't know the value of a dollar as it must be handed to them to shut them up from mom and dad. Only thing I don't like is there is no jump buttonm but for 10.00 I would recommend this game to anyone. Hopefully the next title will have multiplayer as well as a jump key.

Works right out day one, kinda rare for multiplayer games these days. Ai bots in actual online matches are good enought that it becomes difficult to spot the diffrence between them and the players. Only major complaint is they carried over the microtransaction system from the cell phone version but you can still get just about everything in the game that is of any real value gameplay wise if you got skill so its not a pay to win. graphics nothing to write home about but then again it does look silky smooth in multiplayer, no noticable lag spikes so far. Gameplay is an odd hybrid of one hit your out tactical but still in your face fast paced and games go fast. Not quite tactical, not arcadish, only way to describe it is its really like a virtual paintball tournoment, but a lot cheaper.

I gotta say, it's glitchy as all hell, and the AI is SO bad! But! If there's some people behind this that are willing to put some time into it.. This game could be fun as hell. I don't play a ton of VR games, but the left joystick movement in this is heaps better than say the teleport movement in Robo-whatever. The right joystick is for rotating direction, and it shuddered for me. The range of your shots are unrealistically short as well. I played for ~10 mins, and I was having a blast. I grew up playing paintball, and the original Greg Hastings game was the 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater' of our sport. About as good as it's going to get anyway. I say polish this sucker up. 'If you make it, they will come.'

THERE IS NO MULTIPLAYER! The "multiplayer" is you playing against bots and trying to get a higher score than a different human playing against their own bots. THERE IS NO PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER IN THIS GAME. Im capitalizing and repeating that to emphasize the point because games description says "multiplayer". Don't bother. This game is a straight port from a cell phone game. There is zero depth or purpose and the game is setup for micro transactions and to advertise with spam. THERE IS NO MULTIPLAYER. You dont even have hands in the game. Just your gun mapped to where your controller is. The reload is just some automatic junky animation. There is literally no reason for anyone to buy this game. If you like paintball, either go play real paintball or play a game like rec room. If you like first person shooters, you could play ANY OTHER first person shooter and have a better experience. When I say that they just ported a game from a cell phone to VR, I mean it. There is NOTHING here. I love paintball. I was looking forward to this game when I first saw it. It sucks.

I tried this, and was instantly put off by how menus and interface looked. The controller worked poorly and the gameplay was, lacking. It looks decent ingame, and had nice soft physics on the bunkers. I want a paintball game like this, but I think this is a rather poor showing so far. I have played earlier Greg Hastings Paintball games, and had fun altho i always somewhat found them lacking, this game seems more stripped and barebones than it. I cant reccomend this game in its current state.

It seems to be set up for micro transaction hell. It's moderately fun, but there doesn't seem to be REAL multiplayer. Everyone plays bots in their own instance. It's a high score contest instead of a multiplayer shooter. It's a fun VR game, but it's really more of a tech demo than anything. The AI sucks and you can pretty much dominate every game if you're in VR.
