War Rock Assaults Summer with Updated High Resolution Graphics and Annual Olympic Event
GamersFirst’s Longest Running FPSMMO Gets Modern Visual Overhaul and Celebrates the Summer Season with Player-Driven Events, Water Balloons and Bikinis
Irvine, Calif., July 5, 2011 – A leading publisher of Free2Play® massively multiplayer online games, GamersFirst (www.gamersfirst.com) today announced that War Rock has engaged in a major in-game visual reconstruction just in time for summer.
Mass annihilation never looked better as the fan-favored first-person shooter ignites with new high resolution texturing to landscapes, vehicles and weapons. In conjunction with the reconstructive makeover, GamersFirst embraces summer by challenging players in a true test of skill in the game’s biggest player versus player (PvP) event of the year, the 7th Annual War Rock Olympics, kicking off July 5. War Rock enlistees will face each other on the battlefield in a week-long competition testing skill, cunning and tactical planning, concluding in the traditional bikini and water balloon event and War Rock marketplace sale of epic proportions.
“The update adds an incredible dimension of intensity to the game’s environments,” said Chuck ‘Nemico’ Leonard, producer for War Rock. “War Rock fans will be visually submersed into combat deeper than ever before, battling with newly primed and polished weaponry in War Rock’s revamped, lush, war-ridden landscapes.”
The texture patch will be the largest update in War Rock’s eight year history with GamersFirst. With more than three times the texture count, everything about War Rock has received a visual upgrade. From player maps, building, vehicles to War Rock’s signature high powered weapons including the AUG, G36 Miniguns and RPG-7, not a stone has been left untouched, bringing a whole new visual perspective to the seminal first-person shooter MMO.
War Rock Olympics VII
Summer is here and the War Rock Olympics takes the finest, most skilled players and teams, pitting them in a survival of the fittest in a PvP onslaught. Anyone can enter the games but only a few will join the ranks of elite players to be generously rewarded. The week-long event will feature ten challenges consisting of death matches, sniping, rockets, knife parties and more. Medals will be awarded to the top three overall participants along with in-game currency prizes up to 200,000 Dinars.

Summer Bikini Event
And it can’t be considered summer without spending some time romping around your favorite beachhead. Beginning July 7, gamers can delve in to treacherous territories of the Odyssey map and engage in tactically-intensive water balloon warfare. Skilled players will be handsomely rewarded with bikini pieces and the accompanying female characters to wear them. The higher the water balloon kill count the more valuable the reward to be dropped, which once obtained, can be used across all modes and playable maps.
