I don't doubt it's a great mod, but it's got to have the worst name ever.

give it up, just release the maps for hl2dm or something, don't both calling it a mod.

It seems that a lot of people take one look at this mod and pass it off as a watered-down version of Counter-Strike. I think if you really give this mod a good hour or two in-game, you'll start to see how much fun it can be.

While at first glance, this game might seem like a CS clone, I truly believe its unique in its gameplay. Sure, we've all seen these features before: buy system, realistic weapons, classes, round-based tactical gameplay, attack/defend objectives, etc. etc., but what really makes this game unique is how it blends these elements into the gameplay experience.

So how exactly is it different from Counter-Strike? Well, the damage model in PoA is pretty different. Rather than taking the realistic approach, the PoA team aims to make the game more fun; it takes quite a few shots to bring someone down in this game. While its not necessarily realistic, at least you don't get shot randomly in the head at the beginning of a round; waiting 2 minutes in spectator mode for a round to end isn't all that fun if you ask me.

The gameplay is a lot more team-oriented as well. In Counter-Strike, you've got bombsites/hostages and whatnot, but people generally go straight for the kill in CS. Sure, if they have the bomb and they happen to be at the bombsite, they'll plant it, but for the most part CS doesn't really encourage sticking with the rest of your team; anyone with quick reflexes and good aim will do well on his own.
In Plan of Attack, there are 3 objectives on every map. You take turns with the other team attacking and defending; each round the attackers pick an objective and the defenders need to try and guess which one it is before it is attacked. The gameplay in PoA generally encourages you to stay with your team as its very hard to capture/defend an objective on your own. There is also a strategy system that helps guide your team to the objective. Unless you deliberately wander off, you seldom find yourself away from your team in this game.
The sense of team tactics you get from this game really is like no other. There are several tactics that play a big role in Plan of Attack. Flanking your enemy can turn the tides of battle, as can a delayed rush. Tactics and teamwork are two things you will find in abundance when you play Plan of Attack.

The weapons and classes are all well-balanced, and only add to the gameplay that PoA provides.

Obviously, Plan of Attack has its fair share of flaws; there are quite a few bugs, and some of the maps and textures could definitely use some touching up.
One thing that people forget about this game, however, is that it is UNFINISHED. Everything thats not good about this game is subject to improve in the future. New game modes will eventually be added. While Plan of Attack may be a fun game right now in its current state, it has the potential to be an excellent game in the future.

People are always welcome to come to the Official Plan of Attack Forums and post comments. If you're not a big fan of PoA and think it could use some improvements, you should definitely come visit the forums and post your thoughts on the game. The PoA Dev Team is always open to suggestions; they want to make the game better. You can visit the official PoA forums at Planofattackgame.com

This is a long comment, I know, so I'll go ahead and wrap it by saying this:
Plan of Attack is a very enjoyable experience. Give it a good couple hours, and you'll see that it has a lot more to offer than you would think; it is NOT 'just another CS clone'.

I'm sorry, did you write this? Becasue you must have been very high becasue you obviously can't remember anything too clearly. Go suck off a cow.

Oh but I should, to save people the pain of playing this ****** mod.

boo.

I'm gonna hve to pick this one apart, one opinion at a time.

"It seems that a lot of people take one look at this mod and pass it off as a watered-down version of Counter-Strike", could it be because that's exactly what it is? But wait! They have rocket launchers and... custom skins! If this wasn't a mod of an existing game that would be called plagiarism.

"but what really makes this game unique is how it blends these elements into the gameplay experience." So having these elements isn't blending it? I'd love to see a game where in one mission yuo buy stuff, then another mission where you get weapons, and then another completely different mission where you can choose your class... that's like saying your pie is special becaue it has more than one ingredient.

"at least you don't get shot randomly in the head at the beginning of a round; waiting 2 minutes in spectator mode for a round to end isn't all that fun if you ask me." Skillz anyone? And "more fun" hitboxes? That's not what determines damage... and I can completely understand how blowing the crap out of someone numerous times and not getting a kill can be exciting.

"The gameplay in PoA generally encourages you to stay with your team as its very hard to capture/defend an objective on your own." That doesn't seem to stop about 98% of most PoA players from doing just that. And once most of your team dies doesn't that mean that you can't wn?

"Unless you deliberately wander off, you seldom find yourself away from your team in this game. " Unless of course your team just walks away from you, but that never happens.

"Flanking your enemy can turn the tides of battle, as can a delayed rush. Tactics and teamwork are two things you will find in abundance when you play Plan of Attack." Silly me, why ever would I try to flank people in CS when it only works in strategic games like PoA, which involve a lot more, flanking...

"The weapons and classes are all well-balanced, and only add to the gameplay that PoA provides. " Because by using common sense they've decided that a shotgun-blast to the torso won't kill, nor will an assault rifle, or smg, but a machinegun must kill in just a few milliseconds. By the way, what's up with the class system, it just seems like compensation for the crappy aiming system in PoA, yes this is an actual question.

"One thing that people forget about this game, however, is that it is UNFINISHED." As of today it is 90% finished, if they're to improve it that ten percent is going to have to be a ****-load of work.

"it is NOT 'just another CS clone." Yeah! just like the Cs:VIP mod had nothing to do with cs!

Now becasue I'm fair and your calsses are balanced, I'd like to hear people try and dispute what I've stated. And don't mention that's it's not a cs clone, because it just shows you don't know what you're talking about and people might burn down your house.

"hehe , actually this map is before your time yahu ;p "

yeah, beyond my time... 1999.

All the dead mods you see are the fault of the modding community, so don't ever laugh at failed mods, it's was your decision to help or not.

hate to break it from you but that doesn't matter. Where did the one team kills another (cts vs. ts) team idea come from? Every other game, ever.

Great timing! I just finished the uzi model. "interesting" smiley --> :)

Didn't expect douche bags to post

SON OF A BITCH we need a damn coder to make it all happen, other than that we're set! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME AND ONLY ME.

It means your brother inappropriately touches your cat. Or that there's a memory leak/other memory related problem. ANd is that all it says? I'm pretty sure there's another part to that error.

I"m not alone, that gives me hope, and a feeling that things like this haven't worked before.

One more of it's numerous prolems, people know it sucks, so there aren't any dedicated servers.

Great, the weapon modeller just dropped out, now I'm going to have to show off my l337 modelling skillz. We pretty much only need a coder, but apparently coders live in caves and have crap in their ears, so that's not exactly working.

Damn, only at the 50% mark, and with all this stuff, it's gonna rock to t he max.

Why a fantasy game, why?

Are there any dedicated servers for this up yet?

No offense taken, how could I. It was like a baby learning to say **** head. ANd I'm sure you could make a better gun model than Valve, have at buddy.

There are facts, and there are opinions, and then there are my opinions, which are fact.

No one cares about halo. But what we should care about is that ALL THE GUNS ARE JUST RIPPED CUSTOM CS:S GUN SKINS.

I needs me a coder

As we all know, the semi-successful Battle Grounds mod for the Half-LIfe one engine was quite amusing. BUT HOLY **** ******* kazoo this'll roxorz your soxorz, woohooo

Don't insult when (this totally rhymes) you're a ****-head who can't spell, or use correct grammar. I know the whole "Lolsxorz you cant spell" thing is old, but it really says a lot about a person. And gay as an insult, yeah, it's an insult nowadays, I don't really agree with that, but it is, just like "lol" (direct quote from you) means that something was funny. plus tis mdo is liek rly ghey, lollerskateromgroflsxorzing!!!!!11110+

Tell your friends, your family, everyone! We need help with this mod, so rally the masses and contribute to the betterment of the world!
