Today, the company responsible for everyone's favorite large military vehicle battle games, Wargaming, announced a new third-person shooter titled Caliber.

Third person... It will have the same issues that the f2p Ghost Recon game did if anyone remember that. People camping behind corners or low cover till they see you but you cant see them.

Everyone's favorite?
Maybe it was in the past, now though?
I have my doubts.
And indeed, 3rd person is... sh!t, to be honest.
It allows for a much larger field of view which is, in my opinion, plain cheating.

Actually, we do know it's free - it says so right on their webpage: "Free2play game from the creators of World of Tanks". :)
Anyway, it looks like it'll be at least worth a try.
