Let me start off by saying that, even though I'm only 17, I have played a LOT of games so far. This game is looks very promising to me. Not only does it look great, it sounds pretty good though. Most of the gameplay is nice and smooth, with close to no balance issues whatsoever. Other than that, most of the mechanics work brilliantly. But you can feel it coming, there are some issues I'm struggling with...
The first thing is definitely spawning. The spawning system in this game works in a very classic way, without too much waiting in the mean time. Great stuff, nice death animations, etc. However, I'd like to see the spawnloacations a little more... finetuned. What I mean by that is that you're as likely to spawn in the middle of your team as in the middle of a group of enemies. For the people that don't seem to get it yet, I'm only talking about the "Use default spawn point" option.
Next thing is no doubt the graphical "bugs and glitches". Biggest annoyance are no doubt grenades: Explosions don't show, the icon on enemy's grenades disappears, ... But then you also have the fact that people randomly seem to disappear from the radar from time to time, even when you're looking right at them. Good luck paying attention to that when flanking an enemy...
And finally, controls. This has probably been said before, but I'd like to see some possibilities to set your controls manually, or in other words no preset configurations. Why? Because every game is different and muscle memory has to adjust too much if it has to change every single time when you change games. Not ideal in terms of comfort.
Also, aiming is awkward. The aiming is supposed to be tight in shooters, where as this one glides. NOT good for the reputation or the ease of a shooter. Besides, the aiming speed in ADS needs to go down, whereas hip aim can stay the same. Why? Because aiming with such a small hitpoint is insanely hard with a gliding marker that moves at 200 kph... Perfect would be when we could set the sensitivity for both separately.
These are just the issues I'm personally struggling with, I will not say anything about general stuff, for I simply don't know what is known and what isn't.
That's basically it. I certainly hope CCP will pay attention to this, because I had a LOT of fun with this game so far, it has a great ton of potential and it would be a shame if these small things would keep a great game from being a godly game.
Thanks for your attention |

crazy space wrote:as for the 1st issue. get yourself the militia drop uplinks and make your own spawn points. They never run out and last after die. plus if other people use them you get more exp : )
But yes the default mechanic should be tweaked too. Have you played on a skirmish map with has no default spawn point yet?
As the matter or fact, I have, and that's kind of the cause of the issue. But I'll be sure to try your suggestion, thanks. |
