Root problems for both infantry and vehicles:
Tiering, meaning that if you don't have advanced gear, level 4+ bonuses from skills or proto, you will underperform.
No special functions or roles. It makes literally no sense to add a feature in a game if it was not meant for something. Most of the infantry suits for example or named out of irony's sake.
(Scouts do not do anything but lower the game quality, there's nothing logical about a suit being tasked with carrying equipment being bottblenecked by bandwidth, and having extremely low survivability and versatility up until proto everything. Assault suits are only used by players to brick tank their way to semi-immortality.. Besides this there is not much purpose for a pure offense role in a game. A sentinel is a soldier or guard that is supposed to stand and keep watch, and sentinels here do nothing of the sort, just being generic killing machines. A commando is a soldier trained to carry out raids. The commandos here may be the only suits that do just what they were named by, but as stated before a pure offense role does not have much purpose in a game in most cases. Commandos are however often used to power the already hyper effective AV, and most of them have borderline horrible stats.Dropships cannot drop anything if they cannot get in out of places fast, can be easily shot down by tanks and infantry, and can get their hands on powerful turrets and not use them mainly for defense, but slaughter. Assault dropships cannot be assaults if they do not hsve anything of significance they can attack and can be shot down easily up until you get advanced or proto stuff. Tanks cannot be tanks if there is nothing of significance they are designated to destroy or defend against when they're primarily effective against their own selves.)
It shouldn't take a whole team to fight one vehicle, but it shouldn't take one person to destroy heavy duty vehicles
Every tom, dlck, and harry shouldn't be able to spam vehicles from beginning and the end of a match, and vice versa for AV
One final thing.....
Stop the tiering, and give everything roles and you fix nearly everything messed up in this game. |
