Parabellum

Prepare for war in Germany's answer to Counter-Strike

While the first-person action is still some way short of stacking up to the likes of Counter-Strike, Parabellum’s well-paced, cleverly designed levels and frenetic yet strategic gameplay suggests plenty of promise. The unique tactical slant provided by connected levels and the ability to coordinate the movements of your forces over a battlefield is well worth getting excited about. However, modes such as Public Warfare and Strategic Warfare currently look like they’ll appeal more to hardened clans than your average online weekend warrior. What’s more, the lack of mission objectives could also prove to be a problem.

With 11 months of development still to go though, and with much early promise, Parabellum is one online tactical shooter that’s well worth keeping your sniper scope trained on. It’s familiar enough that online gamers should have no trouble accepting it, and should it fulfil its ample potential, then maybe, just maybe, Counter-Strike will have a team-based online shooter to feel genuinely threatened by. Maybe.
