ok, here are my initial impressions after "playing" for the last 6hours. These are my personal opinions based on what i have seen.
The Good:
-hit detection seems to be a bit better
-scouts suits no longer god-like
-Skills seem bit more manageable (semi, will discuss later)
-Nice addition to Shield Suits for Adv & Proto
-Loading screens are nice
-Tips given when going into/after game is a nice touch
The Bad:
-Inability to spawn on capping skirm Points. This leads to point camping, thus makes people stay out of the fight, and potential loss of SP & ISK
-ISK & SP not rewarded on server crashes/freezes/disconnects
-SP rewards ... seems even w/ lower skills requirements, the rewards to be a bit to low
-ISK rewards, same, for great games barely braking 100-120k , maybe will change when people have better stuff; but at moment money is pretty crappy; as if want decent gear to use, or even if using militia and resupply; the cost of Skills Books, for core items takes b/t 4-8 games to get
-Salvage, all but useless, in all games ive played, have yet to receive, and only 1 person played w/ has received something. Salvage was good as is, as the basic items were actually useful
-LAG LAG LAG LAG LAG ... is by far WORSE now then it was
-Strafing ; now im not a big fan of super high strafing (like post E3 and E3), but i felt pre-Codex was nicely done ; as now it has become a 1st shooting gets the kill
-Weapons Wheel ... can no longer do a quick swap from AR -> nanohive ; need to fully hold down R2 fora good 1-2seconds
-mass drivers : blast radius is to much, go back to how it was. It took a skill player to use them, as it was a difficult weapon to use, but once mastered it was deadly. Now they have become the equal to a MW2 noob-tube
-Still havent returned the HP bonus to Adv & Proto suits : for the amount of SP & ISK required, should have some basic boost. Yes realize there are modules, but even last build, I (sometimes) was killing guys in proto suits w/ a basic assault rifle; as were other i know. Should look into a HP bonus like had in E3 build (maybe not as much, but something for it)
The UGLY:
****** ORBITAL STRIKES ; CCP you really sh#t the bed on this. They are WAY to easy to get, and to easy to get kills with. The 5 sec delay was good enough, as allowed those who were conscious of it to get away, as now it is a BIG I WIN BUTTON. I have yet to see anyone get less then 3 kills per strike. It also is a waist, when each game ive played there have been 8-10 OBs called in per game. Pre-codex you actually had to work for an OB, now you give it out like candy
****** Textures & Graphics : also, this is worse then pre-E3 build. Not sure why the change, but the game looked graet last build, now it seems to look like utter trash. Yes the Skirm points (A,B,C, etc), are cool looking ; but the overall textures of building and character look god awful |

It's not meant to be a direct hit weapon, it's meant to be an area denial weapon. Before it was about useless for both. And I don't know what you're talking about with the graphics. All they did was raise the resolution on them. My biggest issue seem to be a memory leak, it shouldn't be difficult to optimize the game to the ps3, but some how after about 3 matches the game starts to choke so much I can't play.
yes, i know what it is; but in seeing its abilities last build, the only complaint i really heard from them was lack of ammo; as like i said, that gun takes SKILL to use, and once you knew how to use it, it was deadly; now everyone is using it b/c it is much easier to get a splash damage hit with it |
