Ahem. Well, back in July, we were introduced to Final Combat, China’s homage to ripoff of Team Fortress 2. The game won’t have a Western release, but for any Chinese who managed to defeat the Baidu censorship and learn of the game’s true origins, we have Troy Horton, formerly of the Tomb Raider series, to vouch for its originality.

Final Combat goes beyond being just a normal ripoff, it’s a HUGE ripoff. There’s even a frickin heavy!

Sure is, especially when your game is 90% stolen!
