[edit] Gameplay

Point Blank is a fast paced online first-person shooter, which is very similar in terms of gameplay to Counter-Strike. In Point Blank, players join either the Free Rebels or CT-Force team (the Free Rebels is based on the Terrorists from Counter-Strike, while CT-Force is based on the Counter-Terrorists). Each team attempts to complete their mission objective and/or eliminate the opposing team. Each round starts with the two teams spawning simultaneously, usually at opposite ends of the map from each other.

A player can choose to play as one of four different default character models (two on each side) A player can also purchase a new character model. There are four purchasable characters (two on each side). Players are generally given a few seconds before the round begins or before the respawning to change the weapons and/or equipment.

Game points are awarded for winning a round, losing a round, killing an enemy, making a headshot, and killing other team's players in a row, etc.
[edit] Story

One of the developing countries in mid 20th century grows rapidly and in less than twenty years becomes on the powerful nations in the world. During the rapid growth, the country had to face the industrialization, growth in individualism, and dwindling population. When the several national policy to increase the population failed, the government turned to immigration for the answer. The nation enjoyed the cheap labor and the increases in population; however, there were increasing conflicts between the new immigrants and the originates. The increasing conflict of interest caused to divide people between “CT-Force” and “Free Rebels”. CT-Force camp’s mission is to protect its privilege and has declared an all-out war against Free Rebels who have been trying to shake the establishments.
