This game is made as an MMO, and if you havn't looked behind the scenes of this game, it ties so well into the eve universe it feels almost as an RPG(You pick a specification and race). This game is made for Depth. It takes the idea of FPS (it's core) and makes it into an unmistakble awesome world. Let's not forgot what adds such depth to this game, and that's Your job. Every person, will have a job at a given moment. And there's so many to fill. And all those jobs are needed. This is what makes this game so different.
Those here who are giving very harsh criticizisms towards "Non-fps" gameplay mechanics (this means Logistics, pilots, supportive roles) are looking at the game from a standpoint of what the norm is accepted as: Games like battlefield and Modern Warfare.
This game is made to be an FPS that fills that feeling for you, but has such a depth that if you are tired of the ol' assault rifle objective point, you can mix it up and get immersed into your actual profession. This game is no ordinary FPS, please don't criticize the game mechanics if they aren't towards "the norm". If there isn't a dropship pilot, who spent weeks investing in being a pilot , then those really cool dropship mechanics that give this game that real warfare feeling wouldn't need to be. The guy sitting behind waiting for the coast to clear to run in, hack the objective quicker than any assault specced guy could do will save the day. These are what makes the game amazing, so please remember the fact, this game is specialization based.
The more people use these different roles, the more they are practiced with them. They "level" in skill as much as their dude levels, its amazing right? it feels so immersive. So leave it be, you can be the dude who gets the high K/D ratio, and leave the other guys to do what they think is fun. Who knows, maybe you'll find his job fun one day.
Just would really dissapoint me if this game went to the normal accepted way console games are and isn't as deep as i'm hoping dreaming and wishing it will be.
