About Masked Forces
The original Masked Forces offers two ways to play. A single player campaign lets you work through the action at your own pace, while the online modes put you up against other people for faster, less predictable fights.
The controls follow the standard first person layout, so anyone who has played a PC shooter will settle in quickly. You aim with the right mouse button, cycle weapons with the scroll wheel and can chat with other players during online matches. It is the game that launched the series, later followed by sequels such as Masked Forces 3.
How to play Masked Forces
- WASD - move
- Left click - shoot, right click - aim
- R - reload, mouse wheel - switch weapons
- T - chat, Tab - pause menu
Playing Masked Forces on a computer
The standard PC shooter layout applies: WASD to move, left click to shoot and right click to aim. R reloads, the mouse wheel cycles weapons, T opens chat and Tab brings up the pause menu. Hit Play now, get through the PLAY screen, then pick the campaign or an online mode. Fullscreen gives a larger view of the map and fewer stray clicks outside the game.
Playing Masked Forces on a phone or tablet
Masked Forces is a mouse-and-keyboard shooter. Aiming relies on smooth mouse movement while your other hand handles WASD, reloads and weapon swaps, and this original release has no touch controls. Play it on a PC or Chromebook. On a phone, Masked Forces 3 or other games tagged "Desktop and mobile" are the better pick.
On a phone right now? Try They Are Coming, Time Shooter 3: SWAT and Giant Wanted - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Play some of the campaign first to get used to the weapons.
- Aim down sights for long shots instead of firing from the hip.
- Reload behind cover rather than out in the open.
