Hood Warfare 2 turns Chicago gang warfare into a $5 Steam shooter

Hood Warfare 2 puts rival Chicago gangs into a $5 multiplayer shooter on Steam, with players fighting over neighborhoods, customizing weapons, and taking on contract-style missions. The premise is familiar Call of Duty territory, but the setting and mechanics are doing most of the work in making it go viral: players can take over streets, steal chains, and hit licks.

Early reactions have focused on the gunplay too, with positive reviews and comparisons to Call of Duty’s sniping and movement. The game is listed on Steam for $5.
