What is atypical about this game is how you earn weapons. As mentioned earlier, this game is downloadable for free and it’s completely playable for free as long as you like. However, if you want to get your hands on the good guns you’ll need some in-game currency, called Dinar, earned in one of two ways: success on the battlefield or success in entering your credit card number.

The problem in this scheme is you can’t purchase weapons. 30-day leases are the max and those tend to be expensive. A serious player wanting to lease three or four weapons for a month would likely need to spend somewhere on the order of 50,000 Dinar. When you only earn a couple-hundred per game, keeping your arsenal stocked is hard work. And, at $20 for 72,000 Dinar or $14.95 a month for a stipend of 55,500, this game can get expensive quick.
