FPS General

FPS General has teamed up with District 187 developer CJ Games Global to give away a ton of in-game goodies for the free to play urban first-person shooter! The game is completely free to play and features dozens of weapons, maps, game modes and items to experience. As with any free to play game, District 187 features optional micro-transactions for weapons, weapon mods or other cosmetic items.

These items are in no way required to play the game, nor do they give you an advantage in the game, but they're totally badass and you should definitely check them out.

Case in point, take a look at the Azure PDW which was just released in District 187's Winters of War update. The Azure is District 187's first permanent weapon (as opposed to the normal rental structure seen in other free to play titles) and is a blast to use.

The 'bread and butter' of the SWAT team, the Azure is a tactical rifle with a pretty high rate of fire that we've really been enjoying since the content debuted earlier this week.

Now, not everybody is ready to dish out the money for content so that's where we come in.

We're hooking you up with 24 hours of access to all of the content that was released in the Winters of War update, giving you a chance to check out these awesome new weapons in action before plunking down the cash to make it yours on a permanent basis. If you haven't had a chance to check out District 187, this is a great time as there are now more weapons, maps, game modes and items than ever before.

These codes are available on a first come, first served basis so make sure you visit http://www.fpsgeneral.com/digital-giveaways/district-187 and pick yours up today! Note that the codes are available for North American servers only and redemption instructions are available on the giveaway page.

See you in the game!

District 187 is a free to play shooter from CJ Games that we've sunk more than a few hours into over the past few months. The game takes place in an urban environment, featuring battles between ruthless gangs and S.W.A.T. team members, which is a huge breath of fresh air to the genre, ditching the modern military themes we've become so familiar with.

The Winter of Wars content includes:

• Three new maps: Hope Clinic, Underground and Chem Lab.
• Ten new weapons, including three new melee weapons and four new primaries, not the least of which is the Azure PDW K101 - District 187's first permanent weapon.
• New cosmetic items, including costumes and items.
• Achievements.

This brings District 187 up to 30 weapons, 9 game modes, over a dozen gun mods and 18 maps to battle on. The game is completely free to play, with optional microtransactions for weapons, mods and cosmetic items. We'll be honest, sometimes free to play games put us off but if they are done right and avoid the 'pay to win' curse that plagues so many games, we're on board.

District 187 gets it right.

Check out the game on Steam, it's free and available to download anytime.

CJ Games Global has announced an awesome sweepstakes for people getting in early to the closed beta test for District 187. The beta just kicked off only days ago, and already things are heating up with a chance to win a trip to New York Comic Con!

FPS General and Curse.com have teamed up with CJ Games Global to offer a massive quantity of beta keys for their upcoming first-person shooter District 187: Sin Streets. The game launched in closed beta just days ago and we're ready to open the floodgates today.

District 187 brings AAA-quality gameplay and graphics to the free to play market. Playing as either vigilante S.W.A.T. members or cutthroat gang members. The world has fallen into chaos after a massive global economic collapse, and gang violence is more prevalent than ever. To counter this, a vigilante police force has sprung up fighting these gang members across any street in any neighborhood.

We've really been enjoying District 187 and can't wait to get in the game with FPS General and Curse.com members. The quality of graphics and gameplay are easily worthy of being a paid first-person shooter, except it's totally free.

Weapon customization and upgrades can be yours in the cash shop, but if you're happy with the standard issue equipment, you can play to your hearts content without ever spending a dime.

So, how can you get into the beta? It couldn't be easier! Just visit the District 187 beta giveaway page and redeem a key before they are all gone! Take a look at some screenshots of District 187 in the gallery below.
