    In my opinion, Bullet Run is not a bad game. The gameplay is smooth and the guns seem to handle well as far as i can tell. There is a decent amount of variety in the weapons, weapons customization, and character customization. Unfortunately, the game falls a bit short in its presentation.

The gameplay is smooth and the guns seem to handle well as far as i can tell. There is a decent amount of variety in the weapons, weapons customization, and character customization. Unfortunately, the game falls a bit short in its presentation. The game has a few decent maps, but they get repetitive quickly as each match seems to last a bit too long (20mins). Maybe if the maps were a bit larger or featured vehicles to spice up the action it wouldn't become tedious. However, as it currently stands, each round becomes very tedious if you decide to stick around for its entirety. 20 minutes of running and gunning also fetches you a decent amount of in-game cash (100-1000pts). I wouldn't consider this game "Bad", it falls more along the lines of average. For the price, i'd recommend you at least give it a shot as it may be to your liking, just don't expect anything groundbreaking.… Expand

    Now don't get me wrong the game is fun and addictive but is still a poorly executed game. First off if you like Call of Duty Modern Warfare then you will be a fan of this game. The shooting is exactly the same with taunts and skills to use. Sadly you need to unlock skills throughout each match and then lose them at the end of every one unlike kill streaks. The shooting still feels fine.Now don't get me wrong the game is fun and addictive but is still a poorly executed game.

The environment looks fine yet could use more work. The customization is great, though it needs more options for the starting player because while I played everyone looks alike with a few clothing changes. Also there are only two game modes they should be able to play at events such as, "frag fest" which was announced over the intercom during playtime. Also the two announcers are funny and make me laugh at times yet you begin to here the same things over and over again after about three full matches. But still, I enjoy playing the game it's just that it needs more work, so for now it is getting a solid 6 out of ten.… Expand

    This game is definitely a really fun game. It's unique for a FPS, as it the interesting skills, taunts, and one thing that I really enjoy, the character customization.

It's fun to see little cameras flying around, you can see them up on corners. I honestly don't have anything to complain about. It's basically a nice new twist on first person shooters. Plus it's free! Why not give it a try?… Expand

    For me, bullet run was a very unique experience. People are relatively easy to kill and the bonuses you get from getting kills and taunting really freshen up the gameplay.

While it may seem like a small addition, this did wonders to the gameplay to me. The graphics are quite nice and not to hard to run, and you don't need to purchase things with real money to win at the game. But, the real star of this game is the atmosphere. There are cameras that can be seen flying around and the two announcers give compliments to players and really make you feel like your on a game show. Also, I was amazed at the motivation the fans system gave me. It wasn't XP that I got, it was fans. This system freshens the already impressive game and makes it easily one of my favorite Free to Play games. And I have played a lot of F2P games. Add to that the simple yet fun style system and I dare say this game is a real winner!… Expand

    It is a extremely fun game with a lot of variety, though it DOES have the same multiplayer no campaign thing with it, it is still a fun free game and you should give it a try!

    Bullet Run, also known as Hedone TV, also known as Parabellum, tries to stand out from all the other F2P FPS's but does a terrible job at it. It's prime selling point is that instead of serving in another generic war, you're a star on a reality TV show where stars kill each other for fame and glory.

It's prime selling point is that instead of serving in another generic war, you're a star on a reality TV show where stars kill each other for fame and glory. All across the maps you'll find cameras flying, cameras on rails filming you as you fill your opponent with bullets to entertain an invisible and mute crowd. There's also 2 announcers that are so dull, so out of place, that I get the goosebumps every time they say something. The shooting is fine, there's nice kill streaks to break up the action, like Health refill, a turret and mortar rounds. But the game is still the old generic F2P FPS at it's core with hardly anything new to offer. The customization is pretty good, there are lots of clothes to choose from, which actually do have effects on your EXP. As far as weapons go, you have a good amount of customization to choose from, like muzzle, stock, nowhere near Blacklight: Retribution, but still enough to personalize your weapon. As I said, the game is functioning, with some bugs here and there, but it's prime selling point is far to weak to compliment. There's really nothing to lose by not trying this game out. However, it still might give some people a good time, it has SOME charm, but not enough to use as its prime selling point. The developers should really look at Monday Night Combat and Super Monday Night Combat for inspiration. But as of right now, the game is very uninteresting, but if you're interested, do try it out. Plenty of exciting F2P shooters have come and will be coming out this year, but Bullet Run is definitely not one of them.… Expand

    Terrible game. Very generic shooter which doesn't bring anything new except for two annoying announcers who are very irrelevant and fail at creating the atmosphere this game wants to bring in - which was **** to begin with. Stay away from the game.

    These servers are awful and just flat out frustrating. 99% of your time will be spent trying to get into a server. Everybody gets "Authentication Timeout" when trying to get in a game. It was alright the one game I got into.

Just a couple of clones of other availible guns with the prefix "black". Lobbies are largely empty. Played 5 matches with only 3 people on my team, two on the oposing team. In short, there is nothing that would make me want to spend a dime on this game. Blacklight retribution did a MUCH better job of making an attractive game with more options, more modes and more fun.… Expand

    Fun, free online FPS which feels more like an AAA title than what we're used to seeing from the F2P market.

Only thing lacking currently is content which is being addressed regularly with each patch. Would definitely come back to give a 9 or 10 rating once the game has more content.… Expand

    The potential is there, but the game is vastly unrewarding for those of us who are unwilling to pay and not too good at playing.

The rate at which in game credits is earned is painfully slow and the need to almost constantly repair your weapons makes unlocking new but extortionately priced gear a nearly impossible and tedious task for the mere mortals among us. Add to that the two game modes and five maps as well as the punishing 'death penalties' that sap 25% of your recently gained points when you die and you get a frustration inducing experience that will probably leave you screaming at your computer screen as you are repeatedly killed by the same person who has a little more real cash to throw around over and over again.

    Overall, the game feels like it is still in beta, and a serious lack of content brings it down. Don't be drawn in by the flashy trailers. It's nothing like that unless you play obsessively for a week or so.

    Having said all that, this game could attract so many more players if the developers understood that a free to play game has to offer something for those of us playing for free. It could be fun, but it isn't.    … Expand

    this game is very poor. the combat's boring, the upgrade systems rubbish, the weapons are uninspired, the commentators get annoying, and I haven't seen such poor use of unreal engine ever. the modes are the same and uninspired rubbish from every other shooter out there. the server lag is unbelievably bad. it may be free but there's definitely better out there

If you kill a person then Taunt them before they respawn, it will delay there respawn time by a few seconds, it helps a lot more in Dominion.

    Currently Weapons have a permanent purchase option or an option to rent the weapon for a certain amount of days. Though the rental option is pretty expensive for the guns. So far there are a good amount of different guns, pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, etc. They're all pretty overpowered so it evens itself out.

    The game is going for a TV show type feel, So it has commentators that relay what you're doing. Experience is gained as showing you have Fans. After each round the heat you collected during that round goes into Fans, and you get Credits depending on how well you did in the game, and based on your Style Number. Style is gained by buying different clothes, weapon decals, and such. Each one adds to your style. There are currently only two modes in the game. Team Death Match, and Dominion. TDM as it implies is a round where 2 teams kill each other over and over, and whoever has the most points at the end of the round wins. Dominion is a game type where there are 2 Bases, the game is split up into two 10 minute rounds, Each round lets one team attack the bases and gain them, and lets the other team defend the bases. After a base's bar fills up that base is unobtainable for a certain amount of time. After both rounds have ended the team with the most bases wins.

    It's not the worse game, i have enjoyed it more then other F2P FPS games.    … Expand

    Okay, so first I liked this game. But now, I think it's bad. The commentators repeat the same sentences over and over again! It's *** annoying. The rate in which you get XP is really slow, and the maps are all the same. It's a really anoying game and you should not download it, even if it's free.
