The Wheel of Time

WoT: one of the most slept on games ever

Wheel of Time is one of the most unique first-person-shooters ever made. The weapon system combining offensive & defensive weaponry has still never been matched to this day. Unreal, Deus Ex, Quake - none of them offer the experience that WoT does. The skill ceiling of these games also cannot touch WoT's ceiling. It is a very difficult game, but improving at it is extremely rewarding. As you improve, the fights begin to be more like a dance, as players determine which weapons are the best to both attack the opponent, while also considering the best way to defend incoming attacks. It has some of the more intricate duels in a fps, possibly the most intricate (admittedly until someone pulls out the Balefire!). Multiplayer Citadel (WoT's version of capture the flag) is an experience this is unmatched in any game - this is not hyperbole. Placing traps before the game starts is a revolutionary idea - no other game has ever done it to my knowledge. This allows players to customize their defenses to cater to their specific spot for the seals (flags). The seals themselves can then be picked up and moved anywhere in the map, which is also unique to WoT. It is very clear that some of the lower star reviews here even did not play anything other than the Single Player. Comments calling the game a Quake clone or saying people "didn't continue to play WoT" is just incorrect. WoT was criminally under advertised and the number of copies sold reflects this. Yet despite the lower initial numbers, WoT continues to have a strong following even today. A diehard community is here - don't let these other reviews convince you otherwise. It's hard to read some of these reviews and consider them genuine. It would seem some just have a bone to pick or just want to be "different" but the problem is they're just not correctly depicting the entirety of WoT and what it brings to the table. If you want to play a unique first-person-shooter online, WoT is the game. There's nothing else like it.
