Fistful of Frags

About Fistful of Frags

Fistful of Frags is the full release re-imagining of the popular Western FPS mod for Half Life 2 originally developed in 2007. FoF features skill based gunplay inspired by popular spaghetti western films like the 1964 film "Fistful of Dollars" which inspired the name. Players assume the identities of outlaws, lawmen and banditos and may fight in team based or Free-for-All game modes.

Fistful of Frags combat is its selling point as the shooter forces players to carefully take aim in order to accurately fire their weapons. The resulting firefights are considerably less frenzied while simultaneously more intense than your average modern day FPS. Guns reload slowly and hold only a handful of bullets at best. Players will need to stand and face their opponents while remaining cool under pressure in order to squeeze off an accurate shot.

Weapons range from single handed six shooters and sawed off shotguns, to two handed single shot rifles and even a bow. Players may also choose to bring along brass knuckles, throwing knives, or even dynamite. For those feeling a bit more civilized, you may don a gentleman's top hat and mustache which comes with additional rule-sets for scoring notoriety, Fist of Frags accumulative score points.

These notoriety points are earned by scoring kills, but the amount each kill is worth depends on how the opponent was killed. This risk vs. reward system works well as using a relatively easy weapon will score only a few points per kill while using any of the shooters more difficult weapons such as the Dual Deringers would net much more.
