A virtual reality (VR) gaming platform has a head-mounted display (HMD), software executing on a processor, controlling display of a virtual environment in the HMD and providing functions for network connectivity via a digital port, a three-axis input device providing input to the processor, and dedicated control scripts executable on the processor to provide specific functions in moving an avatar and establishing camera position. The control scripts operate during game play to move the avatar from a first position to a second position in response to specific directional input from the player via the three-axis input device, the camera remains stationary while the avatar moves, and when the avatar stops moving, the camera position teleports to at or near the new avatar position.

Systems and methods for hosting a game are disclosed in which a user is granted a first base comprising a three-dimensional section with a base target. Game credit is earned through successful completion of campaigns in which the user, posed as an avatar, fights against a plurality of defendants of a second base in a three dimensional action format in which the avatar and the plurality of defendants use weapons against each other. The user is provided with a description of base upgrades, including three-dimensional pre-fabricated sections that can be dynamically added to the first base, and associated costs for the upgrades. Upon selection a base upgrade, the associated cost of the selected upgrade is deducted from the game credit accrued by the user. The first base is augmented with the selected base upgrade thereby augmenting a defense of the first base.
