This build is a welcome change.
Good:
Fem Suits: great to have that diversity - and perfect the way they are
Graphics are beautiful
Hit Detection is up
New weapons are fun and unique - Laser rifles (specializing in decimating shields)
Random Universe spawning? or just changes to old maps.
New Maps
New environment effects
Issues:
Detecting enemies through cover with their little overhead triangles. Checked on stats and whether or not they should be detected, other teammates in the area to see them, no one using the new sensor item, etc. I just feel that if I can see them, regardless of cover, then they can see me - and that is not so great.
Controls feels slowed - R2, Grenades, etc. - making a quick reflex save improbable.
Bumping into teammates makes u stuck and loose all sense of placement.
Original spawns seem open to fire still, besides the precision strikes, several times (luck of the draw I guess) the team was killed inside their safe zone - perhaps a dedicated covered bunker installation or something more creative would solve it.
Farming is only a problem now, and may not be when WP will be used for other things like calling in Intallations, HAV,/LAV/Dropships/etc. But are there any other ways that would tame the WP giant besides justnerfing WP gain? (which would cause people to do it more?) You certainly have your work cut out for you on this issue.
Nova knifes, I feel need some love. The lunging is not so great but ok, more of an issue is the damage - I know it can be buffed with modules, skills, etc. but IMHO it should start out with greater damage as in the beginning both the MELEE and the NOVA knife have the same damage and the bonus lunge is not enough to justify it's use. Perhaps boost the damage to 200 (round number) to iterate how a blade makes the arm wielding that much more dangerous - not just the same as if the arm pistol whipped them.
My biggest issue was not being able to repair certain items. Several times now I have not been able to repair an installation. Installations were Turrets (i went over every foot of that thing to get a lock on, to no avail) and a supply depot or two.
IMHO Laser rifle distance - it may not be what you planned but I feel that Laser rifles should have a longer range (I have the sharpshooter skill) to be in between a Med-Long range as well. Love that it works at short distance as well. |
