Point Blank is a fast-paced online first-person shooter, where players join either the Free Rebels or CT-Force team (the Free Rebels are 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 (Acid and Keen Eyes for CT-Force, and Red Bull and Tarantula for the Free Rebels). There are four purchasable deluxe character models: Fennec and Pit Viper for CT-Force or Cheshire and Shadow for the Free Rebels. Players are generally given a few seconds before the round begins, or before respawning, to change weapons and/or equipment.
Game points and experience are awarded for winning a round, losing a round, killing enemies, and completing mini missions.

For a game that is still active today since 2008, Point Blank is what generic shooter with Pay2Win scheme as its finest which is popular among SEA gamers. Its constantly updated with new seasonal patch but not affecting nor improving the game play (even they change the name to be Point Blank Evolution in 2018) where the matchmaking system is updated into systemically following with current trend in FPS scene.
Interestingly, this game still can be run in any “toaster” PC with low-end graphic VGA card, the sounds in the game has been changed and updated like the music but not for audio dialouge and sound effect that is still sound same till today. The character design is too plain except players can pay for premium skins and also weapon that is game changing how bad this game because its so unbalanced and hence, it has dedicated strong and active player base who are mostly internet cafe patron. This game even have its own e-sports scene.
Point Blank is what you can get for free PC fps game that gives an alternative if players are too bored with Counter Strike 1.6 to play online against people who are divided into two kind of players. The poor who cant afford skins and premium weapons that add the stats, or the rich one who never heard any other FPS that is 1000 times better where they mostly rekt the poor one.
