Almost Everything You Need to Know About 'Eliminate Pro'
posted by Eli Hodapp on November 3rd, 2009 9:26 PM EST in 5 stars, Free, Reviews, Shooter, iPhone games, iPod touch games
We felt somewhat obligated to review a game as huge as Eliminate Pro [App Store]. Following its epic development cycle, it's hard to think of many other games which were as highly anticipated among our community. But it's not just Touch Arcade forum members who have been waiting for Eliminate, as countless other developers have all been anxiously holding their breath to see how successful the microtransaction-powered gameplay is from a business perspective.
If it wasn't apparent by now from reading our other coverage on the game, we really enjoy Eliminate. The classic four player deathmatch gameplay is enhanced with an RPG-style progression system which adds a great deal of depth to an otherwise simple game. Power-ups littered throughout the maps spice up battles, and when it's working as intended, the matchmaking system seems to do a decent job of making sure the game you get thrown in to is reasonably matched.
While we did feel obligated to review Eliminate Pro, since you can download and experience everything in the game for free, there isn't much reason for me to dwell much on the gameplay. Instead, I'll try to clear up some common misconceptions I've seen in comments and in forum posts, along with offering some helpful tips and hints for new players.
Credits and Power
First off, credits make the world go round in the world of Eliminate. In order to buy weapons and equipment upgrades, you need to spend credits and your overall earnings act as your experience point total. As you earn more credits, you increase in level, unlocking more powerful weapons and armor to buy along with available upgrades for your existing equipment.
In order to earn credits, you must be energized. The first time you load the game you will start out with a full energy bar, and while you have energy every opponent who dies in a match will drop credits which can be picked up by anyone nearby. After each match, your energy decreases until you're eventually out, at which point you have three options: Wait for a recharge in 240 minutes, buy energy via an in-game microtransaction, or continue playing for as long as you want without earning credits.
An extremely common misconception is that you can no longer play when you're out of energy. The fact of the matter is you continue playing Eliminate for as long as you want, your character's progress will just be stopped until the next recharge and it will take a few seconds longer for you to get matched in to a game. That's it. If you're happy just playing a few matches each day while earning credits and the rest of the time just playing for fun, you never need to spend a cent on Eliminate.
When the matchmaking system is working well, it should match you up with people of somewhat similar skill. Because of this, not having the best equipment shouldn't detract from your overall performance as much as you'd think. Skill can overcome gear, as forum moderator and iPhone gaming superstar Zincous illustrated by killing a higher level forum member in a heavily armored suit and rocket launcher ten times in a row without dying once using the default (through presumably upgraded) armor and rifle.
So again, you do not need energy to play Eliminate or eventually buy character upgrades in Eliminate. You can play for free as long as you'd like, your progression will just be slowed– And just because someone has better gear than you doesn't mean you can't mop the floor with them.
Tweaking Options
The first thing I recommend you do when you download Eliminate is make your way to the options. Changing the look sensitivity is absolutely vital to enjoying the game. I've been preferring a higher sensitivity, but you should try out a few different settings while fighting against bots locally to find a setting you like. From there, you can pretty much disable tap to zoom as more often than not you will only trigger the zoom functionality in the game on accident. Being able to snipe is rarely very useful in the fast paced games of Eliminate.
If you prefer the controls flipped, there's a checkbox for that along with a checkbox for showing or hiding the on-screen directional pads in game. These obviously are personal preference settings and seem to have no effect on gameplay performance. The final option seems to be highly contested on our forums regarding whether or not to enable it, and that is auto-fire.
With auto-fire turned on, you will automatically shoot whenever an enemy is inside of your crosshairs. If you're having trouble getting comfortable with the controls, this can make the game much more accessible early on. While this may be friendly for beginners, you should try to get used to firing on your own with this turned off as soon as possible. To fire manually, you tap your right thumb once to begin firing, then briefly lift your thumb off the screen again to stop.
Auto-fire can unintentionally reveal your location and waste bullets. This is especially important once you've ranked up enough to be able to buy the rocket launcher, as every single shot you make with that needs to count and it takes so long to reload that you can't just have the game automatically firing rockets whenever an enemy crosses your path.
Knowing is Half the Battle
While browsing the store, you can easily see all the available weapons and armor, but what isn't immediately obvious is that you can also upgrade the individual features of your existing equipment. Tap "Gear Up" then "Inventory" to see what you own, and available upgrades. Spending credits upgrading your existing weapons and armor can be more effective than upgrading to new weapons and armor.
Like most death match games, knowing the maps is key. Playing against bots locally can be a great way to familiarize yourself with maps that you haven't spent much time playing in case they come up in rotation while you're energized. While you're exploring these maps, look for places that you can easily get cover and where you can retreat to look for health. As you play more you will begin to learn the locations of the spawn points on the map where players reappear after they die, and the locations of your favorite power ups. With only five included maps, it won't take you long until you have an accurate mental map of everything in game.
Power Ups
Speaking of power-ups, here are the included Eliminate power ups, and how to effectively use each one-
- Damage Amplifier – Similar to Quad Damage in Quake games, this substantially increases the amount of damage your weapons do. While your damage is amplified, it's best to switch to weapons that have a wider attack like your rocket launcher or plasma cannon, as even enemies in the outside of their blast radius will be heavily damaged. While playing, if you see someone's weapon glowing blue, it is probably best to run away from them until their power up wears off as they will be able to kill you much easier than you can kill them.
- Berserker Shield – With this active, you become invulnerable for a brief period of time. You can also shield-slam people with the berserker shield, which instantly kills anyone. The most effective thing to do while having this power up is to obviously shoot whoever you can while you're getting close enough for shield slam to fire inside of melee range. Like the damage amplifier, the berserker shield will make the whole body of whoever has it glow blue. If you see someone with this graphical effect on their character, it's probably best to run.
- Cloaking Field – My least favorite power up, when you pick this up your character turns mostly translucent. Unfortunately, firing gives away your location and your score doesn't benefit from hiding so it is rarely very useful– Especially when playing against skilled opponents. Keep your eyes peeled and opponents who are cloaked won't be much of an issue.
- Health Recharge – This seems to be the best power-up to have, when you pick it up your health will slowly recharge to 175 for its duration. Whenever an enemy is killed, be sure to grab the health recharge before the credits because you can't pick up credits if you're dead. If you see someone with a slightly red glow to them, they have this power-up active and will require a constant stream of bullets to kill.
- Jet Pack – Take to the skies with this power-up, jumping or looking up and moving forward will send you flying around the map. Useful for credits that get stuck in weird places or chasing opponents across large gaps. If someone is flying, they have the jet pack active. It can be a little disorienting when you first pick it up, so if you see someone flying around try to pick them off before they get a handle on their trajectory.
- Acceleration – This power-up greatly increases your movement speed. Useful for stealing the credits from other peoples' kills and running away from enemies with strong power ups active. Opponents with this activated are obvious as they will be moving very quickly. On the up side, at least you know they're not regenerating health so they should be easy to kill.
Keep in mind, only one power-up can be active at a time, and picking another one up cancels out the previous effect. The duration of power-ups can be increased by upgrading the power-up functionality of your armor, which is at the bottom of the list in the inventory page that has armor upgrades. Generally speaking the best power-up seems to be the health recharge followed closely by the berserker shield and damage amplifier depending on the situation.
Maximizing Damage and Credits
Eliminate uses basic hit box detection, so aiming for the head does more damage than the body. Whenever possible try to aim at the heads of your opponents for maximum damage. If you're in a hallway with an opponent and you're shooting their head while they're shooting your body, you will win and be able to recharge back to full health when you pick up their health power-up.
When starting out, it seems to be the most effective to save your credits to just upgrade one or two guns before other weapons. Even though the auto-rifle is your default weapon, it can pack quite a punch once you sink some credits in to it. Similarly, even though armor skins may be attractive to buy to make your guy look cool, they're a waste of credits early on when you could be increasing your overall effectiveness to earn more credits. Don't underestimate the power of upgrading the stats of your weapons and armor.
Taunting awards additional credits while energized, so make sure you shake your iPhone when you're on top of any corpse. When you hear your character say "Yeah!", you've successfully taunted. Also, speaking of credits, once an enemy has died anyone who is energized can pick up the credits they drop. If you're trying to maximize your income, be as crafty as possible and let other people do much of the killing only to sweep in, kill them, and clean up all the credits.
Like other death match games, framerate is important. Eliminate runs best on newer devices, but runs well enough to play on the entire line of iPods and iPhones. If you're having performance issues, you can try restarting your device, disable automatic email checking, or even turn on airplane mode and re-enable WiFi to avoid being interrupted by calls and text messages.
Since energy is a limited resource, I recommend playing games while you're energized while connected to reliable WiFi. Eliminate works fine over 3G, but with only a few recharges per day it's usually best to use an internet connection that you trust instead of depending on the often questionable performance of the cellular network.
Have Fun
Like any video game, practice makes perfect. The first few times you play Eliminate, you will likely get owned. Play against bots locally until you have a good feel for the controls, and then expect to die quite a bit while you're learning how to best play against human opponents. Most of all, don't get discouraged because of a string of a few bad matches. Whenever you're in a game where you're being dominated by your opponents, try to observe what they're doing to kill you so effectively and try to turn your defeat in to a lesson on a play technique you may not have thought of.
Eliminate is a great game, and I've really got to hand it to ngmoco for not only creating such an action packed multiplayer experience on the iPhone, but also doing it in a way that can be enjoyable for casual players who just want to dabble in the game for free along with hardcore players who have made Eliminate part of their daily routine. If you've read this far and haven't already tried Eliminate, what are you waiting for? Further questions can be answered in the massive discussion thread or in our Eliminate tips thread in our forums.

TouchArcade Rating:
i think zinc had the upper hand to be honest. An upgraded basic suite of armour is much better than a non upgraded tank. Also i'd like to not the auto rifle is alot better than the rocket launcher
Yeah my gun was upgraded to level 4 in everything except zoom. And My armor was level 3 at the time I think.
I'm not sure how much/if his stuff was upgraded.
I had just bought the Rocket Launcher, so it was un-upgraded, and I was only level 20, so I couldn't upgrade my Tank armor.
and there you have it.
I personally think this is a fair match, since he was only level 20 he can't upgrade his tanker or rocket launcher very much. Zincous can upgrade his autorifle a lot becuase you dont need to be any level to upgrade that.
During the game zincous can hit his opponent across the feild with his zoom and long range (even in tank this is possible).
In addition the rocket launcher has a very slow reload time compared to the autorifle
Eliminate username: rbatrack (skill 6500 level 35) or ramoola (skill 2100 level 9)
i use an upgraded plasma cannon and an upgraded vaporizer
this is just my opinion but i dont really like the pro version when you are upgrading the armor and games because it says a number and not if its good or not no offense
It really depends on why is more skilled because Ive met players lvl 65 and their skill level is 3800. They of course have the upper hand in weapons and armour but they can not properly use it. Wheras I am 30 levels lower but I can still kill them.
i prefer upgraded plasma cannon and gravity hook so i can hang from room and camp lol
Hodapp, sounds like you recommend the rocket launcher. I'm level 10 with an upgraded plasma cannon as my primary and the gravity hook as my secondary, and I've been debating whether to buy it. Is it worth it?
It seems like upgrading existing weapons is more important than buying new weapons. That said, an upgraded auto rifle and an upgraded rocket launcher make for a pretty deadly combo.
Another Plus+ only game, delete, delete, delete!
Just wait and see Gameloft And id will do this right.
Remember nothing in life is truely free.
If the plus network allowed a guest login or allowed you to just say no like some of the games offer; then I would reconsider.
why don't you just register for Plus? what's the downside… it's free!
Eliminate requires Plus+ for a legitimate reason: it runs the entire matchmaking system. And all of your gameplay data is saved to the cloud. So you can log into any device and access your stuff.
–MJ
awesome game
Haha whatever do you mean? It's a free signup, and it's not like it asks for a credit card number or anything. Pretty secure.
Ps Gameloft has a social network too, Gameloft Live. Sorry to burst your bubble.
PPS Plus is great! Beautiful UI!
Nothing in life is truly free? Have you played Eliminate? IT'S FREE DUDE.
First gameloft can't make a batter game or els they woul have by now, seacond your right nothing in life is completly free because the Pearson who made the app has to make a profit someway ie: in-app purchases of power cells and I'll bet you there making a fortune plus do u really think gameloft is going to male a game just like it that's any more free-er? No because again they have to make a profit. And plus has got to be the best social networking system on the iPhone/iPod touch, beter than openfeint or gameloft live put together. Wegmans is right there IS NO DOWNSIDE to making a plus account and the reason they ask it is so that if you want to play it on another Pearson iPhone/iPod you could log in under your username. So they're really isn't ant way for gameloft to do it any better
Can I ask WTF is wrong with you?
This is the best game ever and nobody agrees with you!
Wow. What an epic article.
Really cool, I can feel your love for the game.
And yes, I share the addiction!
This game is like a drug.
How the EFFING he11 do i disable vibrate on this game?! If there is no option, this is the biggest oversight i've encountered. Vibrate on my 3GS is incredibly loud, and that's the whole reason i have it on silent in the first place! Secondly, i bet it kills the battery life!!
Has anyone found a way to disable vibrate on this game?
I'd pay $0.99 for it via DLC
Companies aren't opposed to DLC like that, you know
Ha ha! I agree. The vibrate is REALLY annoying and distracting. Should be off by default, or at least able to be turned off.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, i'm glad i'm not the only one who's annoyed by it!! Maybe an update will address this?
I also hate that it doesn't respect the physical "silent switch". If I wasn't so eager to check it out, that would have been an automatic delete for me.
Lately, ever since America got eliminate, I have been paired up against people level 17 and above. At first it was awful, but now I can manage to wipe the floor with them and I'm only level 7. I'm still in the first armor set. The skill levels increase with the more first place wins you get, so after a few of those rounds in a row, expect to die.
You know, I feel you. I've gotten 1st place in every single one of my online matches, and I've played 9. Even my first one, I creamed them. Hopefully I'll start losing soon, but still… Why does everyone suck so much?
Don't worry, I was in the same situation but the more I level up the more experienced players I'm being matched with. It's getting tough.
How many more articles pimping this game are we going to see, while a great game like Karnival gets ignored?
Karnival is a great game and deserves front page coverage. That said, I also play Eliminate and I appreciate this article. Can't we have both?
Also, Eliminate is a landmark game: A free, high quality, highly networked FPS, that's trying to make all of its money off in-game content.
It's a new economic model for the iPhone, and a very hard push at making an A-level FPS (with lots of money sunk into development and server infrastructure.) ..There are a lot of people curious just how well this will work out.
Also.. there's no limit to web-page space. Nothing stopping that other game from getting coverage.
I have a question regarding armor upgrades: Are these upgrades (+accuracy, etc) only to that armor set, or does it affect my character overall (much like stats in any rpg)?
Hope I got my question clear enough, since I don't know if I should get a better armor and then upgrade.
the armor
They only upgrade your armor — so you have to upgrade each armor set individually.
Great article. Clears up a lot for me!
You have to upgrade each armor set individually, but yes, upgrading your armor alters/raises your stats, just like with characters in an RPG
It's like each individual armor set is a different RPG character. They have to be upgraded individually, but they each have different properties as well.
We all know there is major competition between iPhone gaming sites, but I wanted to commend Hodapp for this exceptional article. It gave me a lot of great pointers and did a good job of looking at the big picture.
Hodapp: I do have a question for you, though. What is your stance on the energy prices and do you feel there is possibly a more user-friendly approach they could have taken?
Hmar, what do you have to say about this? :p
Well, um…
whoops…
Okay TA, now take this article down so that I can pwn everyone with these new tips before they find out about them (:
"While we did feel obligated to review Eliminate Pro, since you can download and experience everything in the game for free, there isn't much reason for me to dwell much on the gameplay."
Mr. Hodapp, that's a very unfortunate turn of phrase and one I'd recommend you think twice about before using again.
They should just sell monthly plans, like the phone company. Unlimited play shouldn't be more than 9.99 though. There are over 2000 people playing. At 9.99 each person, each month, they could make a lot of money. Although, I suspect some would complain and insist 9.99 is too much. Perhaps it is. Xbox live runs 7.99 a month. Still, that's obviously a much different deal. I'd consider paying 9.99, even though even that would be a pretty steep price considering the current climate of the AppStore marketplace. What they are charging now though is astronomically ridiculous. As soon as NOVA or MC's multi shows up, Eliminate is bound to get killed. However, there is no competition, for now.
Charge by the hour, or sell time in half hour incriments. Also offer a unlimited monthly charge package. That's what I mean. Don't charge per match. .99 for 30 minutes. If unlimited costs 9.99 in comparision, everyone will likely Jump on the unlimited instead of the incrimental rates. 1000 people at 9.99 a month.
I just played like 3 matches in a row with people who had the tanker armor and were 3-4 levels higher than me. They got 3rd or 4th every time.
Great review. After I read this I turned on eliminator, played a game and got first with ten kills and not getting killed once. All I had was a stock rifle and stock armor both unupgraded. Add me as a friend.
Geddylee
Am I the only one who finds this controls really clunky and unresponsive even after adjusting sensitivity? I'm slowly getting use to it, but even max sensitivity isn't fast enough.
Belive me you're not the only one
i thought so too until i turned on auto shoot- works great with the rifle
best iphone game in history ,
maybe frame and grafik not perfect
i love this game, very cool game
im from germany
agreed. very agreed.
jimaiwr lv 6 skill 861
Hey you're that guy in leaderboards
I agree this is a seriously awesome game
add me my user is darkhawkx
Hope the release an update soon with the option to choose invert Y option and also the left stick is way to big and to much analog style you always run in these type of games so no ned to have that type of sensitivity
Full ack, except for the invert
The left thumbstick jst way too big und I need only running!
The review might have mentioned that there is no invert Y look option. I wouldn't have bothered downloading if I had known.
Game looks great, though, I admit. Very well thought out (aside from my one request).
I simplyyyyYYYYyy LOoooOOOveeeee dis gamee!! Woooo! Kill Kill! Ermm if u see my nick dats me! Hehe!
5 minutes of play for a 4 hour wait. Wow that really is crap. And yes I know you can still play for free but I want to rank up. I would have gladly paid for the game if their wasn't such strict allowances and overpriced DLC.
Hi CJ,
My team and I can power level your character. If you are interested, contact us at willpwnyou@yahoo.com.
Im not a notoriously cheap iPhone owner. I've purchased 100s of apps, many preminum priced. I just bought NBA league pas for 40.00. Difference is that lasts 6 months. I won the last 3 matches I played in Eliminate. I don't suck. Make pricing more competitive and I'll likely buy it.
I have a huge problem with the items. They all says "value not found" so i cant read about the armours/weapons. Plz help
I have the same problem
The "value not found" I believe happens if your running in a language that's not one of the supported ones. Try switching your device to english and see if that fixes it?
My only complaint is that there is no flip screen option…my right hand keeps covering the speaker…grrr
Looks like this is a quake 3 engine port as there are reports of people being able to replace the maps with quake 3 maps… Would be interesting to get an ngmoco comment on that
Jailbroken iPhones are able to get Quake 3 maps on Eliminate.
A digital version of paint balling. Fun without the mess (and pain) ; )
A couple of questions that I haven't found answers to yet:
1) Is one of the green credits in a match equal to 1 credit, or more?
2) When you die, how many credits do you drop? Is it a percentage of the credits already collected, or all of them collected so far?
Also, how many credits do you get for taunting?
Thanks
none
1) Around 5 credits
2) It may sound wierd- but in the trailer and intro they said you gain credits when you die, even though your opponent does too
3) None
One more thing (sorry dev. but want this game to be as good as possible) an option to turn off the "mouse acceleraton" thing it's annoying and feels like i have no control over my turns like Bambi on ice if you may :s
haha ya know what u mean!
PLEASE HELP ME I DON"T HAVE DESCRIPTIOBS OF PURCHASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO I DON"T KNOW WHAT I BUY????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE GAME IS REALLY COOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
me no understand what you saying…
Tip: Lose the exclamation points, all caps, and write a clear/concise question if you want a response.
As I said above:
The "value not found" I believe happens if your running in a language that's not one of the supported ones. Try switching your device to english and see if that fixes it?
Should I purchase the Animatter Jet? I currently have the Auto-Rifle, Plasma Cannnon and Rocket Launcher.
y would u purchase all those weapons? save ur credits and upgrade one to go pro. I currently have a partially upgraded auto-rifle, and a never upgraded plasma cannon that I bought on accident. I am very happy with the auto rifle since i am usually first or second, dont like the plasma cannon but have heard good things about from people who upgraded, and know that ABSOLUTELY KNOW ONE LIKES THE ANTIMATTER JET. please feel to comment if u have it and enjoy it. Should i upgrade my plasma cannon btw?
I have the antimatter jet and I works great in crowded places like Tanks. That's my 2nd equipped, my 1st is the plasma cannon which is the best because of it's power and if you upgrade the Recire all the way, then it's not slow at all.
My eliminate pro name is matt96, I bet you can't beat me!
Copy and pasted from a techcrunch article "In short, these games try to get people to pay cash for in game currency so they can level up faster and have a better overall experience" No thanks!
I'd say that was 15% true. It does mean you can level up faster, but that only applies to impatient people. Anyone with a drop of self control can just pick up the game a couple of times a day when their energy is restored and never pay a cent.
I can imagine a few impatient kids and people who only play games to finish rather than enjoy the experience might consider it expensive having to pay 0.99c every 10 minutes when their energy is low, but… they've got issues. They ought to to find other games to play in between energy recharges.
So just because some of us would rather put more than 15 minutes into a game a day makes us impatient? I play video games for a couple of hours a day and I never find myself missing out on the "experience". Besides, I don't read a book or watch a movie 15 minutes at a time, why should playing a video game be any different?
The pay-per-recharge is a stupid idea. Let me pay $15 off the bat and play however much I want, then we'd have a good game.
You can play as much as you want. For free.
eliminate best game iphone game of all time
this game is truly allsome, but a couple things.
dev needs to make the sensitivity of the movement joystick adjustible, so my left finger is moving all over the screen,
also weapons can level up, but you can't really tell how much damage the guns cause in relation to each other (which gun is better in different ways).
it would also be cool to be able to level up in bot play, but the levels don't carry over to the internet, (they would have to make two different base menus or something), so it seems like there is more of a single player game.
also, if we could pay for energy that allows us to play for a certain amount of time, unlimited, that would be cool (pay 99c to play an unlimited amount of times for one month..almost like a membership)
I have a question……..
When you wait all the time for your energy bar to recharge …. Is it possible that when it is fully recharged you can keep recharging and it will save up as power cells?
best iphone game by far, but wtf?? why do my crosshairs bounce around? why do i move so damn slow? why do i get always get killed by people running circles around me? i dont have time to worry about power ups and improvements and all that other BS. why cant i just pay upfront like a normal ephing game and be able to enjoy it? i hope they rectify this stupid BS somehow. biggest buzkil yet for the iphone. so much potential, moronically squandered in a lame experiment.
what do you want me to do? beg? pretty please let me give you $20 right now so i can start enjoying the game. this should be number 1 top grossing app for a month straight but instead its been hovering around 57th.
Hi, I'm "Wo0t" from the game.
I am level 10 and now I don't know if I should wait to buy the Vaporizer or get the Rocket Launcher now. I have a upgraded Auto Rifle and the Gravity Hook(just for getting to places faster).
I also would love to see a weapon guide or something of the sort pop up somewhere soon. If anyone finds something sharing the link would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
wow ur are in the exact same place that i used to be- DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID! For one thing keep use ur credits for upgrading everything on ur rifle except zoom ( after 2-3 upgrades it zooms to close) and the range (maybe some of the other ones if u really want to). DO NOT WASTE UR CREDITS ON MORE WEAPONS! what is the point if u have already upgraded ur rifle. RIght now i have an upgraded rifle and gravity hook, and a barely used plasma cannon ( sorry guys, but i hate it!), and i am usuallt first of second every match
I NEED HELP!!!
When you look at the description of the various armors, It gives details then it says like DEF, TS, SPD, JMP, CLO, and SWM. What do those abbreviations stand for?
DEF – Defense
TS –
SPD – Speed
JMP – Jump
CLO –
SWM – Swim
TS is for targeting and CLO is for cloaking (mainly for Sniper and Sentry). By the way, what level are you on? I have a level 32 character through a power leveling technique. If you want me to power level your character, email me at willpwnyou@yahoo.com
TS-Targeting
CLO- Cloaking
2838 players online and 383 games in progress. Not bad. Now if they can only add a capture the flag, ball, etc. game types, matchmaking playlists, 5 or more new maps, and voice communication, then you have yourself a winner. I'll gladly pay for a version that has these capabilities as I have said in my sit
http://enroutejourney.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/eliminate-pro/
But really good for a free game, and definitely enjoying it.
can you upgrade armor that you bought like for example can you upgrade the cloaking on the sniper armor?
Yeah you can upgrade the cloaking. I'm level 15 and got the Sentry armor because it's the only one with no minuses. I upgraded the cloaking and it went slightly more transparent. I'd imagine with the Sniper armor that the max upgrade would be almost like the cloaking power-up.
what are the items (i.e. Canada, Midnight, Blood Plating, etc.) that are for sale? what are their purpose? I have not been able to find any info on them in any of the reviews.
they are just for looks
So everyone says that the antimatter gun is the worse gun. Yet I've played against 3 guys with it so far, and they always destroy. Always lower level, against people with equal or sometimes better skill level.
I just played with a level 7 antimatter guy … the other 3 of us were 9+ and he won 10 kills to 2, 1, 1. We couldn't touch him.
What's the deal? Is it some sort of conspiracy to keep the antimatter gun 'off the market'
if I play a couple more games like that, I'm definately going to get it.
Best weapon depends on the map. Antimatter jet is more effective on tighter maps with more hallways, because you can bounce it around corners and keep people from getting a clear line of fire on you. For bigger maps it really depends on preference and what type of armor you have.
I have a triple upgraded in all stats sniper suit, pretty satisfied with it. I have a level 4 rocket launcher And it powns because after upgrading damage fire rate and reloading time, you just aim for their feet and the blast radius of 2 rockets kill generally. I find using the sniper suit with accelerAte is good since its harder to notice you and then u just run in circles to collect credits. My secondary gun is antmatter.
wat is better sniper or sentry
yea i had a question about the armor. what does TS mean?
i like the review.. i think im going to delete eliminate pro off my ipod and restart, after i head abt all theses great and smart ideas abt upgrading my own weps insted of buying new ones. =} add me on it Black1Out
I just got this game two days ago. I purchased power cells. After I bought them, the device said that it was connecting to the store. About 10 seconds later, the loading screen went away; however, the power cells that I bought didn't show up. Any suggestions to help me would be great.
Who wants to power level? My team and I can level up your character much faster with our system. If you are interested, contact us at willpwnyou@yahoo.com.
OK, I love this game. Just to be clear.
However, I just went to buy some credits (I can't wait) and noticed how the costs get ramped up.
Just checked my itunes receipts.
First lowest amount for renewal was 59p.
Next time, lowest amount was £1.19.
Today quoting £1.99 cheapest pff.
That's pi** poor IMHO. I'll not be paying, thanks.
Anyone else noticed it?
Hi…would like to check if i am able to restart eliminate. Cos I bought some wrong stuffs. Please assist and advise.
Hi eliminators!
This game would have to be THE BEST game for iPhone /iPod ever!
I am level 32 and have a vaporizer and rocket launcher for weps and tanker armour. I have a few questions: do upgrades apply to bot training? How come only sometimes do I get credits for sheid-bashing people? Do targeting sensors make you deal more damage and how many bonus credits do you get for winning a match?
Please add me my username is as you might have already guessed: Darkhawkx. Thanks!
What is the best armor to get and use for the rest of my gaming in eliminate pro?
my in game name is p3t3r
Can somebody please help me!
I want to know how to use custom pictures for your plus+ account.
I know you go to your profile and click edit and so on, but that only displays a list of boring pics like eliminate armour, Rolando dudes etc.

If you are looking for somewhere for tips, tricks and discussion on Eliminate Pro, check out eliminatepro.com. I saw the GetSatisfaction boards with questions and NGMoco doesn't have anywhere to discuss so someone setup this site. Hope to see you there.
The assault rifle basically kicks ass. I'm sitting at lv26 skill4700, all I use is the AR and the sentry armor, dishonoring the corpses of people up to level 50. Name is the same for +plus.
Excellent job ngmoco:) and continue to give us tasty extras in game, although the prototype stuff is irritating, imo.
Thanks for the article and all the replies — I learned a lot. Unlike some gamers here I like the pay per power cell idea. I hope they don't change it, just add the option to pay per time period for the others. I will buy power cells because ngmoco deserves it. And the wait time between recharges is reasonable ( I find it to be between 40 to 90 minutes average. ) My breaks at work are just that long appart.
Can someone explain what's the diffrence between Eliminate Pro and Eliminate Pro 16. Should I run the original or th 16 version? I noticed some had Eliminate Pro 12 version in their stats. Can just download the 16 version for it's bonus, and then delete it so that it's not cluttering it up my iPhone?
Oh and TS stands for Targeting Sensors.
is the assault a good combo with the rocket luacher
ok, i just installed the game , and it does the video and then goes to a screen where it says all this info about it, but i cant do anything? PLEASE HELP!
It's not free u have to pay after level 21 they stop giving u refills and it's bull cuz u waste all this time building a pf and they don't tell u… In a day u could blow 10 bucks easy on it

Only a level 9…
I can't download the new update for eliminate. Pls help my apple device is 3gs
I'm on level 9(yeah, I know it's low) but I keep asking why I play with people that are on level 20 or 21, I mean that is't fair, and when will be my turn to play with people my own level…I just doesn't seem right…they have stronger, more up-graded weapons and armor…I win sometimes but from 2 kills I make they kill me like 7 times…any help?
