History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.
Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them. 
<a name="weapons"></a>Weapons
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.

<a name="weapons"></a>Weapons
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.
<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.
<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them. 
<a name="weapons"></a>Weapons
Note: Under Construction
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.

<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

<a name="weapons"></a>Weapons
Note: Under Construction
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.

<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

Note: Under Construction
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

MP5K-PDW has modified folding butt plate and evidences of strenuous efforts in designing can be noted in its portability and stability.

In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.

<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

<a name="weapons"></a>Weapons
Note: Under Construction
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.
KBP PP2000 (SMG) 
Description:
Russian SMG with compact, light and powerful 7N31 cartridge. Simple blowback system offers decent accuracy. Reserve magazine can be quickly replaced as stock.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

<a name="weapons"></a>Weapons
Note: Under Construction
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely. </li>
</ul>
Pointman Weapons 
All pointman weapons are either submachine guns (SMG), or shotguns.

Having enhanced portability compared to standard MP5, MP5K was specially developed for operations in small spaces. MP5K-PDW is a further improvement of MP5K. This piece was developed at a time when HK was involved in PDW project (NATO). MP5K-PDW has modified folding butt plate and evidences of strenuous efforts in designing can be noted in its portability and stability.

Its simple mechanism offers easy-to-repair and reliable weapon. It has short length and the magazine is housed in the pistol grip, allowing for a heavier, slower-firing bolt in a shorter, better-balanced weapon.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

<a name="classes"></a>Classes
There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage. 
Rifleman
Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

Note: Under Construction
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
One of the most important part of any FPS is the weapons on offer. Alliance of Valiant Arms offers several weapons for each class.
Explanations of Keywords:
<ul>
<li>Damage - How much HP each bullet hit from the gun takes off. Headshots will take more HP, and shots to limbs, hands, feet, etc will take off less HP.</li>
<li>Range - How far each bullet can go in a game before it disappears. In other words, how far the gun can shoot.</li>
<li>Accuracy - How much bullets will go to where you point your gun at. Affects size of the crosshair.</li>
<li>Stability - How much recoil a gun has. Basically, how much your crosshair/gun barrel moves every time you shoot a bullet.</li>
<li>Mobility - How fast you can move with the gun. High mobility means you will move faster.</li>
<li>Rate of Fire - How many bullets the gun can shoot in a space of time. Basically, how fast it shoots. Automatic guns will be higher, single-fire guns will be much lower.</li>
<li>Ammo - How many total bullets you carry into battle with the gun. Basically, how many shots you get before you run out of bullets for the gun completely.</li>
<li>Price - How much it costs to buy the weapon, whether using the in-game currency Euros, or the in-game currency that can be bought with real money, G coins.</li>
<li>Rank - The rank you have to have achieved in-game to be allowed to purchase the weapon, if a rank requirement is needed.</li>
<li>Capsules - The capsule system is like a jackpot system. Certain rare weapons can only be gotten through capsules. In-game, you can find two capsule machines in a menu, with a number at the bottom right of them. Each capsule machine starts with either 200 (costing 20 G coins each) capsules, or 499 (costing 10 G coins each). Each machine contains a rare weapon. Each capsule contains a useful item as well, so you always get something. As people buy capsules from a machine, the chance of winning the rare weapon increases for everyone. The machine resets once someone has won the rare weapon.</li>

Riflemen are the backbone of any team. They are the only class that can use the assault rifles, and are generally effective from close-range to medium-range, and can be good in long-range as well. They are effective against Pointmen, as their weapons are stronger than Pointmen's weapons generally, and they are just as accurate close-range as Pointmen.
Sniper
Snipers are normally at the backlines of the battle, taking long-range shots at anyone they can see. They are the only class that can wield Sniper Rifles, and are therefore the class that are most accurate at long range. However, they are far less effective in close-range battles. They also generally move the slowest because the Sniper Rifles are the heaviest guns. They are most effective against Riflemen, who aren't as fast as Pointmen, so can be easily picked off by a Sniper if seen by them.

<a name="history"></a>History
Alliance of Valiant Arms is a relatively new MMOFPS. It was developed by REDDUCK and is distributed by Neowiz. The game was released on October 23, 2007.
However, ijji acquired Allliance of Valiant Arms for North American and European audiences. Therefore, Western audiences only experienced the game from September 23, 2009 when the closed beta started, and the majority of those could only experience it when open beta started, on October 14, 2009.
The official live release from ijji was on November 11, 2009.
<a href="#top">Back to top</a>
<a name="story"></a>Story
In the year 2005, the UN and NATO have finally established an alliance of almost all the major countries in the world, and are planning to form the ICU (International Countries United) and form an elite army of highly trained soldiers from all around the world called A.V.A. (Alliance of Valiant Arms).
Unfortunately, these plans are cut short when the newly established EU (European Union) has a dispute with the Soviet Military and demands that they destroy all of their nuclear weaponry. The Soviets refuse, and only months after, the EU sends in agents to to perform espionage missions to take the nuclear weapons and set them into a dormant state. The Soviets then formed the NRF (Neo-Russian Federation) to counteract any EU operatives. Eventually, they launched a full scale assault on the EU military base in London by dressing up as civilians, and setting numerous C4s in the facility's perimeter. 
With the knowledge of this, the EU director Joey Deano declares war on the NRF and the Russian military. What start as small firefights soon escalates into full scale battles.

There are three classes in Alliance of Valiant Arms. They are: Pointman, Rifleman, and Sniper. Each one uses different weapons, and each has different capapabilities.
Pointman
Pointmen are the fastest out of the three classes. They can move faster, and sprint faster than the other two classes. They generally use lighter guns to the other two classes as well, to be even more nimble. They can use Submachine Guns (SMGs) and Shotguns. They are a class designed with sneaking about quickly and flanking the enemy in mind. They are most effective against Snipers, as they are fast, and at close-range, Snipers are at a disadvantage.
