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.
