Online Disclaimer
Classical Caliber Combat Contest has been developed with a client-authoritative network model. This means user inputs are instantly responsive and the experience will be smoother when players would normally experience issues with latency or lag. This decision was made by the Secret Handshake team after weighing multiple tradeoffs, choosing to prioritize game feel and groups of friends playing together over strict game security measures inaccessible to a small team.
Given that C4 is client-authoritative and contains public matchmaking options, Secret Handshake has taken steps to secure the online experience. This includes implementing community-driven moderation tools that integrate with Quickplay and the Server Browser.
It is our intention to be honest about the challenges of publishing an online multiplayer game, and continue to provide solutions to these issues.
Secret Handshake Interactive is brought to you by players like you.
Thank you.
About the Game
Classical Caliber Combat Contest is the revolutionary "Arena Shooter Party Game" where classic action meets Item Boxes, Stage Hazards, Minigame rounds, loads of Weapons, Modes and Modifiers, and the unique card-based Contest party mode!
Cards build the Match! Complete Missions to score Points, then cash them out for Gold in wild Minigames that happen during the action. When each round begins in the Lobby, select which card packs to open and level-up Cards. Build and play a strategic hand to attack and defend against other players, building the next match to the advantage of your selected Missions and play style. But don't get too comfortable, as some bonus Gold at the awards ceremony might just swing the results!
