Would you say the TTK was good or bad? I remember in dust that some people got mad at how high the TTK would be. But that might have only been an issue because how hard the controls were to get used to on top of low Frame rates.

Also, was there a lot of side strafing/hopping around to try and dodge fire? Some people disliked that. Personally I loved side strafing and the interesting "dances" two good players would end up having. But if it was super excessive then I can see that as being a problem.

Well, there's my reasons for not playing this new game. Sounds like the same FOTM nullifying features of commando, cloaked shotgun scout and rail rifle imbalance.

The commando presently has no drawbacks. I don't care what anybody says, IT DOES NOT! It cancels out the assault completely. CCP previously said they were going to can this role.

Cloak shotgun scout is virtually uncounterable 9 out of 10 times in a game that depends on close quarters combat.

The rail rifle, great at ANY EFFING RANGE. Really? Is it still THAT good? Why use anything else? The AR? Lol, why use that any more? No change to that meta.

Under the circumstances of game play these elements absolutely possess a natural advantage. either they need to be arbitrarily limited or game play has to be expanded both in map size and flow of battle as it relates to win mechanics or goals to promote effective adoption of other weapons, suits and support roles.

There is a reason everybody save the few players who have an ounce of self respect use the above features. The rest of us are playing at a disadvantage for not adopting these features.


Looks like the new game isn't trying to better balance these things within the context of game play. The same migration to the few overly effective elements is inevitable. I'd hoped we'd see an end to lopsided gameplay.
