Free to play games

Hello world,

As a gamer myself i used to play lots of games, now i used to play free games or free to play games as i don't have unlimited money ^^ and nowadays AAA games are not so good (Call of Duty and Battlefield episodes are always the same and it's boring to death...).

Warthunder: a free to play air combat simulator, the graphics are good and the game can be played in three game modes, i used to play in arcade mode which is the more accessible mode when you didn't want spend time to learn simulator commands. 

This mode allow you to control your plane with keyboard + mouse, the first time i play this game i use a joystick in arcade battle and i get shot really easily by keyboard + mouse players, so that's what i use now. I tried some historical battles and it can be played with keyboard + mouse too but you only have one plane available for all the game if you loose it it's over for you. In arcade mode you can use lots of planes (actually i can use six planes for a single battle).

Pros:
+ Japanese planes are really fun to fly due to their agility you can turn better and get the hunter the hunted
+ Playing with friends can be really nice once you know some air combat tactics
+ It's always nice to get a kill on a russian plane
+ A bunch of planes to unlock
+ Many different playing styles
+ Free to play

Cons:
- Only five nation playable for now (Russia, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, USA)
- Russian planes in arcade battle shred you as paper (most of their planes have cannons even the first planes)
- Most arcade players didn't play correctly (searching for "frags" instead playing the objectives, high altitude fighters not providing cover to bombers, heavy fighters hunting for japanese paper planes...)
- Japanese planes are really fragile
- Need to spend some time to unlock better planes.
- GUI not really clear (crew training, how to spend golden eagle (don't spend on backup plane as it's useless)
- Battle rating and matchmaking really sucks

Little fighters 2: a free to play beat'em up game playable in multiplayer, each character have is own special habilities (some can throw fireballs, some can fusion like Trunk and Sangoten ^^), you can also throw decoration elements and use weapons.You can even create your own character. Many game modes are available (coop, battle, tournament...). You can make a donation to support the developpers.

Pros:
+ Fun
+ Free
+ Indie game
+ Pixel art graphics
+ Many special habilities

Cons:
- None

Soldat: a free 2d action shooting game it can be played in multiplayer, you can pay for optional stuff like character customisation... or simply support the developper. The game is really fun and you can make your own maps, there are bots to play with, lots of weapons... There are many game modes available (Rambo mode is really nice ^^).

Pros:
+ Fun
+ Free
+ Boggie man with his chainsaw is hilarious ^^
+ Map editor

Cons:
- None

Blacklight: Retribution: a free to play Call of Duty like game mixed with manga elements like Ghost in the shell (tachikomas ^^). A nice feature of this game is the HRV (Hyper Reality Vision) which allows you to see through walls for a short time, you can't fire when using this mode, but i believe this allow the game to be fast and without much campers (as they can be quickly spoted and netralised). Another nice feature is the exo armor you can use in the game you unlock it after few frags it's like a two legged tank with high fire power and armor but slow speed what make it fun is that you can get killed easily with it if you don't have a good squad to cover you. The exo armor well used can change the battle but it have random weak spot (you can find using HRV) you can hit to destroy it, or you can use flame thrower to burn the pilot and use the armor later. All this makes the gameplay more fun than any Call of Duty or Battlefield game. Your character can be personalized with armor, helmet, weapon options... you can get by spending some ingame money (or real life of course...) but every object can be unlocked by playing. Also the game is beautifull even the maps are not really original and some gameplay concepts not really used (doors piracy...).

Pros:
+ Fun
+ Free
+ Fast 

Cons:
- Some people spend money to get more powerfull weapons (even it's not necessary as i play myself with standard stuff and reach to get good scores)
- Matchmaking needs to be equilibrated

Teeworld: a free 2D multiplayer shooter game with mutliple game type (CTF, Deathmatch...). Your character can use a hook to move which is a really nice gameplay idea (ninja style ^^). The game is like Quake Arena like in 2D with grenade launcher, rockets...

Pros:
+ Free
+ Fun
+ Big community + Map editor 

Cons:
- None
