I was SO excited about this for months, I thought it would combine MAG and Battlefield into one epic game, best of all it would be free so there'd never be a lack of players.. but after a few hours of really trying to like this game, it fails miserably. I LOVE the depth of the dropsuit customization system, the market place and all the other details that allow you to customize your character to your needs, the MMO influence from Eve Online really shows in this regard.. but at the end of the day it's the gameplay that completely and utterly ******* SUCKS! It feels like an extremely budget version of MAG and Section 8 Prejudice combined, except it feels even MORE cheap and budget (in fact I feel like getting back into both of those games right now)
The incredibly BLAND graphics, the lag, the multitude of weapons that all end up being small variations of eachother and all look and feel pretty much the same with minor RoF and damage attributes.. I could go on, but my point is, regardless of all the attention to detail in the customization, the game itself just simply licks the sweat off a dead donkey's dry salty ballsack.

It's no wonder they're charging $20 for the Mercenary Pack, because that's the most money they'll be able to extract from people who've yet to play the game. A majority of people will end up disgusted and only a small minority, even smaller than the niche gamers in MAG and S8P will stick with this game simply due to it being a free game and possibly out of pure boredom.

Unless the gameplay is seriously overhalled FROM SCRATCH, this game will fail within months of release. The ONLY thing that'll keep this game alive in the long term is the fact that it's free, which will entice the players with the absolute lowest of standards and that market alone.

I sincerely wanted this game to conquer and succeed, but the fact is the gameplay just ain't fun.. although it has the scope and potential to be, it SO does! that's why I'm so genuinely disappointed.

So from me, goodbye and good riddance.

/facepalm Seriously what do you people think the whole point of testing is ?!!!!!

You're right!

There's no way this OBVIOUS AND CLEARLY LABELED WORK IN PROGRESS can compete with AAA titles in its current state!

If I didn't know better, I'd almost suspect we're not playing the final release version of the game... OH WAIT.

WORK IN PROGRESS CLAP ClAP CLAP

Graphics make a game good? lolno look at BF3 and that pile of shite which is constantly getting patched and made worse where its a twitch shooter to the max and everything else is made of paper

Its the only FPS I gotz so I have nothing to compare it too but I'm loving it and cant wait till we have those long running skirmish maps that roll on from one objective to the next.

THIS is a perfect example of how I said in my first post that only the players with the absolute lowest of standards will be the ones still playing this in the long term, because they simply wouldn't know any better or just don't have any standards.


Seriously, stop taking this offensively, listen objectively, I'm trying to make a valid point that if taken seriously might improve the game. I'm not here to hurl random insults and mindless abuse, I do not troll.

..I saw Alpha footage of another game, which looked heaps better than this beta...

Lmao, look at all these fanboys.
When somebody says something bad, it's like a child responding with their hands over their ears, "NO NO, BETA, LA LA LA, DUST IS PERFECT."

+1 to OP.
Game won't change. Release will just have more skills and items.
Gameplay overhaul as Templar stated, is impossible. Partly because CCP don't know what they're doing, but mostly the moronic fanbase that enjoys half-assed mechanics already has a foothold.

hey moron the game is in its second build...what part of work in progress do you not understand???

Well first of all it's a closed beta not even open yet, the graphics have been downsized so that there is not a lot more to download, they have said that there would be different looking guns and actually I bought the Merc Pack after I played the beta weekend because I wanted to keep playing because I loved this game so much.
If you don't like the game that's fine, your're entitled to your opinion but how about you save it until the game is actually done and finished. Okay? Thank you.

You can go back to playing CoD with the other little kids and let the grownups play the real games. No one is being offensive except for you. You're complaining like this is a finished game but yet...it's not.

Read my 2nd post this time. Being in it's second build gives me even less faith, it shows that they're fully aware of what they've created. At this rate it'll take many MANY builds before this game is up to par.


Thanks Captain Obvious. It's not just an opinion, it's called constructive criticism, I think 90% of the people here don't understand that. I'm raising these points now BEFORE it is done because by then it'll be too late to overhaul the seriously flawed state it's in now.


LOL no one is being offensive? read all these posts, even YOU are calling me a "little kid." This is the mentality of people who cannot look at themselves honestly and acknowledge ANY form of constructive criticism, instead taking it way too personally.. sigh.
