Bullets And More VR - BAM VR Reviews

Okay .... I've been playing the game and using the editor for a little while now, so it's time for a quick review. At this stage, the game is still in Early Access. I played the demo for a few hours, and then moved on to purchase the game because it was so much fun. As of this review I have >60 hours in game/editor. I've never played Onward, but I frequently hear references to Onward from other players in-game. While parallels are drawn between the two, the general consensus is that, while Onward has good graphics, BAM VR is more fun to play. Re-spawn times are instantaneous (with time to re-spec, loadout, etc). For reference, I'm running with: [list] [*]Windows 8.1 [*]i7 4790k (overclocked) [*]8 GB RAM [*]GTX 1080 [*]HTC Vive [/list] Now on to a brief look at the pros and cons of BAM VR. Please note that, bearing in mind that the game is still in Early Access, many of the cons are probably attributable to this. [b]The Pros:[/b] [list] [*]Game runs silky smooth; [*]Re-spawn time is next to nothing - jump right back in, or change class/loadout; [*]Gameplay moves at a good pace; it can be fast and furious at times. Likewise, if you have a proclivity to camping - you'll get your chance, but be prepared to keep changing positions; [*]Editor allows players to create their own levels (in VR); [*]Matches (TDM) usually last around 10 - 15 minutes (in my estimation). At this stage, the game ends when one team reaches 40 kills - so, if there are less players in the match, it will take a little longer; [*]Single player/mini-games are included; [*]Weapons are super-easy to use. While I enjoy the complexity of [b]Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades[/b], it's nice to be able to re-load a weapon simply, while on the run; [*]For those prone to VR/motion sickness, there are several locomotion options available to choose from; [*]The game developer is very active in the community, willing to make changes based upon player experiences; [*]Game updates are very frequent; [*]At the current price of USD$15, this is a bargain; [*]The free demo is [i]almost[/i] comparable to the full game. [/list] [b]The Cons:[/b] [list] [*]Limited number of maps at this time; [*]The editor can be a challenge to get used to; [*]Not enough choice of assets in the editor; [*]Some of the assets are a bit higgeldy-piggeldy - sometimes, things don't look like they fit properly; [*]The editor is a VR only application - it would be nice to have a non-VR option; [*]Currently there is only one server, based in the United States - I'm in Western Australia - my latency is >300ms most times; [*]Gamer population is low at this time. [/list] In summary: [list] [*]This is one of the best VR games I have in my collection - and I have a few; [*]The demo is free. Download it today; [*]The full game is very economical and hours of enjoyment; [*]In Early Access, this game has a lot of promise. If the dev keeps up the pace, this can only get better and better. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. If you want so see some gameplay, there's a little bit on YouTube. I've got a few videos that showcase some of the action - check out [url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwgLPR2k2gzaoNMjbs6LcS2RF9D1Ys2oK][b]The Corndog Tapes[/b] (link to playlist)[/url]

bought this for battle royale, am not dissapointed. this shit is really impressive. PUBG in VR, litterally. Only thing, there needs to be a way for all dead players across the lobbies to choose quickly to play in a new game with other dead players if they want too so you dont have to wait 10 mins to play again, just get right back in on the action. Im very impressed by this, its so much fun. buy this now!

This is by far my favorite shooter on VR. It's not the super tactical wanna-be-military shooter that Onward is (love the game, but players need to chill out) but B.A.M has a manual kit system like Onward. The modular system lets you manually kit out your weapon and place it anywhere in the 6 "bubble" regions on your person. It also has a "sling" feature that keeps the weapon you chose in the correct spot if you want to quick swap between weapons. The maps are also more open. Unlike the whiny-kid-shooter, Pavlov, which really only has 3 lanes and a significantly smaller weapon choice. Bullets and More seems like the way towards a VR version of Call of Duty or Battlefield. Sadly, more people are playing Pavlov and getting screamed at by 12 year olds or playing Onward and being told to “sod off” by a crusty old English dude, than they are this game. The side games are fun and it will keep you entertained for a while, but you can only crush BOTs for so long before the fun wears off. I never write reviews because I don't care enough for people to know my opinion ( a rarity these days), but for this game I felt it was worth it. It's a solid game and lots of fun, but has no one to play with. Hope this review helps.

Ive spent more time in this game than in any other Shooter on VR. Absolutely glorious! Pros: Lots of Guns, all accurately modelled and plenty of attachment options (not quite on par with H3VR) Big Map Selection Lots of Game Modes Built-in Editor Always games available in the US Great Fun even at higher pings (for playing overseas) Solid weapon reloading thats just forgiving enough to make it manageble under fire Options out the wazoo! Cons: Graphics are a little stark. Everything is very bright Bot support on some maps does not really work well for the game mode (CTF not capturing flags, Random weapons in Gun Game etc) Odd performance issues on certain maps Overall : An absolutely fantastic gun game. The best of them all combined. Realistic weapons and mechanics with fast paced gameplay, easy to use controls and smooth stable multiplayer I own a Protube VR gunstock and this game is amazing with it. I find myself spending a long time in the timed gun shooting minigame just enjoying the weapons and getting high scores! If you like shooting, don't even think, just buy

Pros: Great mechanics Good AI Tons o' guns Cheapish Lots o' gamemodes Vehicles Cons: Nobody plays it anymore Not enough bam (see what I did there?) for your buck Verdict: This is a great game, but no one plays it anymore. I would recommend Pavlov VR or Onward VR instead. DO NOT BUY.

Fantastic VR shooter. Has a Counter Strike feel with the added realism of actually reloading and clearing jams in the heat of combat. This isn't as realistic as Onward/Arma but that isn't a bad thing if you're not looking for a shooting sim. I've had the game for a few months now and the dev has been constantly updating the game and listening to community feedback. The only downside at the moment, which is true of most VR games, is finding online games can be tough at certain times of the day due the small player base. That said. When you get a game, you'll have a blast. I play on a Oculus Rift with Touch and haven't had any issues playing the game.

Guess after 130 hours its time to write one of these lol. BAM is by far my favorite vr shooter on the market right now, no other game comes close to offering the amount of game types. From your standard TDM and DM, to ctf, gun game, zombies, even a classic deathmatch were you must go around and find your guns on the map. Last but not least by a long shot is the new Battle Royale, just been out a day or two but oh boy to me its the standout game type for BAM. From weapon attachments, to vehicles this game has a bit of everything for fps lovers. Patrick you have made one hell of a game bud, I love it. Here's to another 100 hours man.

BAM is the perfect balance between the military simulation of Onward and the arcade quick twitch of Pavlov VR. This is the best VR multiplayer. The graphics are nice. The maps are nice. The guns are absolutely amazing. Reloading actually makes sense. There's usually several attachments for each gun. There's several single player type games/challenges available. Game runs smoothly. There are a few locomotion options, but I always go for joystick/trackpad movement. I experience zero nausea. Did I mention you can pilot helicopters? Humvees? Yeah it's all here. Chucking grenades is fun. The only problem is the servers are usually not full. Luckily, there are bots a plenty. So the game needs more players. C'mon guys, stop wasting time with other mutliplayers. This is the gold star VR multiplayer game. Come get some. Rating 8/10 (would be 9 if more players)

The game is fun, and it is not dead. It's all about the times your playing. community is mostly chill, cept me... & there is a damn good bit of content, and more to come due to an active developer; As well as some dedicated players making maps. Try the demo if your skeptical, but get the game on this sale. It's worth full price, so no sense in missing the opportunity.

**EDITED: They fixed the trailer, much better guys! Game is amazing!** This game has developed into the best 5v5 VR shooter on steam. It might not hold that place for long as dozens of indie developers strive to become the "goto VR shooter", but right now its ahead of everyone else. Here's why I think so: 1) Graphics, Models, physics, and Animation. Lets get this out of the way, this game has the same crappy graphics that every other indie VR title has. I don't consider any of this a part of the rating, because as most VR owners know, the VR experience outweights graphics by a factor of three. None of the best VR shooters have good graphics, and you can't expect them to. 2) Better than Onward! The devs for this title understand you don't want down-time when you have a 10 pound face mask on. Onward is a fantastic game, and easily the #1 VR shooter title holder. However, if you die 10 seconds into the match you have to potentially stand there for 5 minutes while the rest of your team fights. Bam VR takes you right back to "The Construct" where you can change class, mod weapons, and then spawn right back into the game. This method of FPS spawning is probably my least favorite when it comes to PC based FPS's, but I believe this is absolutely neccessary for any VR FPS. Either that or other VR shooters needs to add mini-games inbetween deaths. 3) Better than Art of Fight! The devs for this title also understand how important movement options are for players! They did a great job of balancing the game so a person using teleport movement doesn't have an advantage over people with free movement. They have paintball style moving, they have onward style moving, and they also have their own unique style. You click a location far awar, and then it auto-walks you there. 4) Better than Paintball! Paintball is probably one of the best VR shooters. However, this game scratches the itch you can only get from panic reloading a machine gun while trapped in a house or getting the flank on 3 guys and watching the blood spray as you empty your clips into them. Paintballs biggest draw back is the teleport movement allows you to flank enemies easily. You are constantly turning around and watching your back. You can't suddenly teleport behind somebody in Bam VR. Flanking requires more strategy. 5) Map builder? I can't really comment on this, because I haven't played around with it. However, you can currently build your own maps from with-in the game. I don't think these maps can be played online yet, but future workshop support may allow it.
