One of the most anticipated PSP games is Konami's upcoming Coded Arms, a FPS putting you in charge of a hacker breaking into a virtual reality system. You've seen the screenshots and read the hands-on reviews, now let's look at the weapons arsenal and some multiplayer screens.
 The Bolt Gun will most likely be one of your first weapons. Its electric capabilities are particularly useful against robots and other mechanical enemies. The challenge will be in keeping the battery charged.
 The Lazer Gun is effective against bugs and insects due to a high-charge plasma. Unfortunately, your running speed and running fire will be affected adversely.
 Every gunslinger needs a Sniper Rifle, and Coded Arms' rifle is no slouch. With a zoom mechanism capable of 2 x magnification, you'll be able to do long distance fighting. Great for single player and multiplayer matches and particularly effective against soldiers. The bullet magazine is small with only 6 bullets, so you'll have to do sharp shooting.
 The Shotgun is great for gunning down soldiers. You'll have to balance out the high destructive power with the short shot distance. At longer distances, the shot power is less effective, but the spray will hit more enemies. Useful against soldiers.
 The Grenade Gun is great against those pesky soldiers. With a strong destructive power that is strong at long distances, this will be an important weapon. Explodes upon impact.
 Similar to the Bolt Gun, the Lightning Gun makes use of an electric current to zap enemies. The charge has been drastically improved in this gun, allowing you to fight robots more effectively.
 What is a FPS without a Plasma Launcher? This plasma grenade launching weapon is particularly useful against bugs. Upon impact, fusion surrounds the explosion, taking down even more enemies.
 If you're running low on ammo for your other weapons, then this Chafe Grenade may come in handy. Upon explosion, countless metal pieces scatter and disturb radar detection in bots. The effect is temporary, but it should give you a few seconds to take out bots which can't attack accurately, or make an exit.
 The Napalm Grenade is an incendiary weapon that explodes with extreme heat, burning any enemies unlucky enough to get caught in its blast radius. Throw it and watch the flames envelop your enemies.
 Similar to the Bolt Gun and Lightning Gun, this Bolt Grenade has an electric charge that is useful against bots. Inside the grenade is a small ion-reactor which explodes upon impact causing instantaneous high pressure core discharge.
 Useful against soldiers, this Land Mine has a small internal sensor which detects the approach of enemies at which point it explodes.
 One of the more interesting weapons is the Honey Pot. It doesn't have an explosive effect. Rather, it is useful against bugs by drawing their attention away from you, allowing you to back away and blast the buggers.
One of the more popular features will surely be the Multiplayer feature, allowing up to 4 people go head to head. There are many ways to customize the battles and keep things fresh. For example, you can randomize the battlefield, select the map size and level type as well.
 
Each player can select their weapon and ammo as well. After each round, you can check on your score and ranking.
 
Each match can be setup for a specific amount of time, at which point you can track your kills and overall ranking for the current match. All that's left now is to duke it out and show 'em who's boss!

"I really can't wait but am still scepticle about the control system."
I completely agree. I'm going to try to rent this one and see if the control system makes any sense before I purchase it. I greatly desire for this game to "roxor" my "boxors" but I can't help but be skeptical of the control scheme of an FPS that is on a handheld system.
We'll just have to see how it works. On the one hand there is video of the game being played and it seems like those playing it are capable of aiming. On the other hand the people in these videos are probably the people who designed the thing, so they've had a bit of time to practice with it.

I don't think there will be vehicles. it's supposed to be VR of VR... heh. as for familiarity of halo games, the only thing this game has in common with halo is probably going to be that they are both FPS'.
if that were the case, quake3, unreal tournament and half life are a lot like halo.. but nothing similar.

im more keen on getting midnight club rather than this... becuz i can play against comp if i have no one to play ad hoc with...

even if a game doesn't have infrastructure, you can still play online through Xlink or similar programs.
so in the end, it doesn't matter if it is ad hoc or infra.
