Earth's Special Forces

Who didn't like the old classic Japanese Dragon Ball Z series? There is no doubt that rather you liked it or not, that it is one very fine piece of art.

In the following I'm going to introduce you a video game based of the Dragon Ball Z world. I'm talking of course about the "Half-Life" video game modification, known as "Earth's Special Forces".


It may leak the feeling of involvement in a Japanese anima playground because of its adaption of the first "Half-Life" virtual world but it will give you a strong enough sense of the Dragon Ball Z intense fights and battles.

Unlike any other video games that are based on Dragon Ball Z anima, ESF (Earth's Special Forces) doesn't involve re-experiencing the original plot of the DBZ series but you will be fighting others online (or offline against in-game bots) in a death match kind of game play, allowing you to collect dragon balls, summon the dragon and ask for a wish.. while also allowing you to select your favorite character and transform when gaining enough "KI" or "Power Level".


The screenshots here were taken from one of the most popular unofficial addons to the game. The one known as "ECX RC 2" with the extra fix pack known as "Big Pack 8.4".. Adding more characters and features to the game.

However now days under development is a new ESF version, known as ESF 1.3; will offer a new style of game play, new imporved content and some other major upgrades. As for now, the current stable version released is ESF 1.2.3 which only offer a short variouty of characters, and having only 4 major features:

1. Ascending, changing only into 1 form for all characters.
2. Melee fighting, Advanced and Basic.
3. KI (Energy) balls and such figthing technics, flying and teleport are included.
4. Use of the Dragon Ball.

The rest are features as the Scouter (Radar), third person/ first person view, powering up, MP3 player and so on.

ESF 1.3 is destanted to have a lot more than that but for those who cannot wait to ESF 1.3, can download unofficial extends such as ECX and Big Pack to make their ESF 1.2.3 work wonders!

Thus, including more content such as: Maps, More Characters and a cool character changing menu, more transformations, more attacks, fusions and so on.

So, now that I introduced you to ESF, in the future I will farther expend about the "Lost Majin Clan", its ESF history, its current activities and future plans. And what kind of gameplay do we expect to have.. Ideas such as Boss player, and training new comers.





That's all for today!
