S.W.A.P., an FPS without guns, is out now for free

[Administrator]

S.W.A.P. (Subterfuge Weapons Assessment Program) just came out today and it's one of the most unique twists we've seen on the competitive first-person shooter. It's main claim to fame: it doesn't have guns.
At least it doesn't have conventional weaponry. Playing as a team of robots, players can shoot one another, but these laser-like projectiles don't harm other players directly. Instead, they make the target switch bodies with the player who shot them. The idea is to disorient your opponents so they lose track of their goal and/or fall into a trap.
S.W.A.P.'s only current mode is a variation on Capture the Flag, wherein you're tasked with stealing a computer virus then uploading it to the enemy base. Of course, a well executed shot will allow you to trade places with the person (er, robot) holding the virus, at which point you'll suddenly become in possession of the game's all important macguffin.
