I don’t like rocket jumping. It is silly. And yet, I had a good time with Rocket Arena, the upcoming, free-to-play online shooter, when I played in a closed preview event a bit over a week ago. It’s coming on July 14 from Final Strike Games, via little known indie publisher Electronic Arts.
The original version of Rocket Arena was a mod for Quake, which your dad will wrongly tell you was about more than just being brown and overrated. Its popularity led to spin off mods in pretty much the whole series. The general idea was to level the playing field, removing health and weapon pickups, and giving everyone the same equipment.
Interestingly, the new, standalone Rocket Arena is almost the opposite of that concept, as it’s a class-based shooter with a form of regenerating health. But then, it’s been decades. Online shooters are a different world now. Which raises the question of what Rocket Arena does to stand out.
