Gameplay
The game resembles Counter-Strike, including its "cops and robbers" setup, game modes and map layouts. It features an extensive weapon modification system that allows both mechanic and cosmetic upgrades. The game focuses on clans and team-based progression. Clans will compete for territory, with clan performance in four weekly "street fight" events determining possession of city districts.
Business model
District 187 is free-to-play, with all weapons available for in-game currency only. Players are charged real money for cosmetic modifications and for upgrades that speed up the acquisition of in-game currency.
Development
The game was developed for western audiences by CJ Corporation's North American subsidiary. On October 3, 2013 the developers shut down the game servers and took the game offline. It is now no longer available.
