Topic: Frag (game)


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Frag (video gaming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frag is a computer and video game term, used in first-person shooter (FPS) deathmatch.
This leads to the game theoretical consequence that one should engage in combat with another player unless severely outmatched because the potential benefit (one frag) outweighs the potential harm (lost time for respawning and the opponent, who may not be ranked first, getting a frag).
The usage of the term fragging is also a response to advocates of computer game censorship, who argue that violence in games can cause violence in real life.

Frag Tag is a game type from a game on the Nintendo 64.
Frag Tag is a game type where 1 of the 4 players is transformed at the start of the game into a chicken, monkey, or lizard.
The point of the game for the chicken is to get to the waypoint that will turn him back to a normal player and chose another player at random to become the animal.

 Pyramid: Frag Zombies!!!
Though fragging other players does not achieve either of the two goals needed to win and you don't gain any cards, there are still plenty of good reasons to frag another player when the opportunity presents itself.
When a player is fragged, all of his gadgets and weapons in play are dropped on the space where he was fragged.
Fragged zombies do not return to the pool but are instead horded by the player who made the frag.

 Xbox.com | Promotions - Xbox Live Frag Doll Friday
I had one good game and killed the opposing Frag Doll on the other team a few times along with a few of her teammates.
The first game and the last game, I must admit I was a bit rusty, and didn't make myself all that useful (in fact, I stuck a teammate in the CtF game, and took the sword he dropped, which was something I'm bound to regret in the future).
I was able to frag Rhoulette three times while I got away from being killed by her.

 REVIEW - Thrustmaster - Frag Master (www.combatsim.com)
The Megahurts™ mode is Thrustmaster’s attempt at emulating mouse movement in a game through use of the Frag Master (FM) controller.
The company sales line denotes the Frag Master as “the ultimate control” and “movement feels natural and not confusing.” While it does make some moves much easier (i.e., the ‘circle strafe’), it is not as easy to get used to as one might expect.
Installation is a snap since the standard game port is as all that is needed.

They were brought together by an ad hiring female gamers to come out of the woodwork with the promise of working from home by gaming and on occasion going out into the world to wave their controllers around and say 'hi' to the masses.
There's another gaming group out there that is making waves, they are a Swedish team called Les Seules that take their gaming also to the extreme.
Shame on Ubi for perpetuating a stereotype that the few and far between of female gamers are beautiful and thin fragqueens and the rest are best left indoors behind heavy curtains to be tossed a crust of bread now and then for their feats of acrobatics with a sniper rifle.

Also one gripe with Frag was it’s instance on placing it self as a simulation of the first person shooter with game effects based on computer/ connection speed, software cheats etc. and I had hoped that the desire to capture the Deadlands genre would downplay that aspect of the Frag game.
The game is much more balanced than it was in the playtest, and The Deadlands genre works well in the improved game engine.
All in all this game is a lot more fun than my initial play test, as with most Steve Jackson Games, It’s better with more players rather than the old 2 player game.

I realize it's a little "boring" but that's just how Duck Hunt is. When you get to the later rounds, the ducks move much faster and you need to conserve your ammo, while using the weapons with the best range.
To be honest, I haven't even playtested the game all the way through, I only tried different rounds while making it.
I fully expect somebody to come forward and say they've already made a Duck Doom game, it may not be the most original idea, but I think I pulled off this one well.

One of our group is currently developing his own Frag variant (with much greater scope and originality than Frag Trek, I have to say) and whilst discussing this and playing Bug Hunt one evening someone set me the challenge of producing a Star Trek based Frag.
Entirely based upon Frag by Steve Jackson Games, Frag Trek is a fast paced table-top combat game set in the Star Trek Universe.
Frag Trek has now been successfully playtested by our group - only a few of us were present, but an entire evening was still devoted to the game so I think things went pretty well.

 SmartJoy Frag - CGN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
For the uninformed, the SmartJoy Frag is a piece of hardware that allows you to connect your standard PC keyboard and mouse to your PlayStation2 or Xbox and use that in place of the standard controller.
Aside from that issue, the game works very well with the Smartjoy, although it takes a good bit of getting used to, considering that this is a third-person viewpoint game, and it suited the Dual Shock 2 controller itself quite well.
The games you use it for may not be entirely suited for a keyboard and mouse, but for those that are, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better alternative than the SmartJoy Frag.

 Game Informer Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The FRAG is small and discreet, with the Xbox unit only measuring about two and a half inches square the PS2 unit measuring it at about two inches square.
Since this essentially means that each game controls different when it comes to aiming, you’re really going to have to spend some time fine tuning your settings to make sure that the aiming function is best suited for the way you play.
Keep in mind that while the documentation for the FRAG and the units themselves are pre-programmed with eight titles, through some smart programming you can essentially create your own control setups for any game that you may have, regardless of whether or not it’s an FPS.

 Boomtown
Strangely enough though, the new patch (updating the game to the current version 1.2) that was released a week after the mod’s first appearance got rid of the round-based mode — probably due to the fact that most players ignored the objectives and just wanted to frag the other team.
A very cool feature in Frag.Ops is the ability to upgrade your weapon with attachments, such as a taclight (very useful in the night time-based missions), a bayonet, a scope and an aiming dot.
Maybe a word about the sniping: not only are the sniper rifles the most expensive weapons, to many they will be the most frustrating ones too, as it’s impossible to walk around when zoomed in (since 1.2 it’s possible to crouch and move while zoomed in, but at times this can still get annoying).
