I love it, since it basically means the more experienced or higher rank you are, the more responsibility you get. Usually when you get to the rank of Corporal you will finally get a taste of these extra abilities through issuing radio commands. While you'll always need Resource Points or RP in order to pay for your weapons loadout or using certain abilities, you'll also need high enough Experience Points or XP in order to use higher powered weapons (such as sniper rifles) or abilities such as calling in mortar strikes or troops. Ranking system that mattersThe higher rank you are in Running with Rifles, the more weapons and abilities you will have access to. ![]() Large armiesThe game has a large number of soldiers fighting each other on the battlefield and firefights can become pretty hectic, especially when grenades and artillery start flying all over the place. There aren't any fictional names for the guns although you do have fictional vehicle names for some reason (like the RWR1A1 instead of the M1A1 Abrams).

We've played the game on and off over the past few months and it seems like the game still has a "Very Positive" rating on Steam and a score of 78 on Metacritic. This review is going to read a lot like the First Impressions article I’ve posted before, for two reasons: (a) My opinion hasn’t really been changed that much since I wrote it and (b) I’ve enacted a new policy where my future reviews are going to be a similar format to my First Impressions articles.Īs mentioned before, we originally got this game as part of a 4-pack so that the Choicest Games contributors would have a co-op game we could play together.
