I'm thinking most people will just be trying to kill you in this topic, since the mechanics are far above subpar, unless CCP has actually stepped back since the last month.

Vast improvement from codex to chromosome IMO.

Apologies if sounding ignorant, I haven't even tried Codex, only the preceding build which had very clunky hit detection, poor movement, slow strafing, bad frame rate speed (understandable for beta), and generally not fun FPS mechanics, making the gameplay tedious and boring.

Just trying to see if the above has vastly improved. That is all.

Ahemm, could you elaborate...

Why don't you just try it out for yourself??

Discuss, and try not to kill each other

Nothing has really changed in terms of mechanics, the iron sights hide the poor bullet mechanics . Still pretty clunky, I would say hit detection is marginally batter IMHO

AHA! The first honest non-fanboy opinion, thank you sir!

Or he's drinking the Haterade....

Several other people gave you an honest assessment but theirs clearly lacked the hate you were looking for.

You should just play it yourself and form your own opinion.


The build is a vast technical improvement but there are things that people don't like, as should be expected.

Discuss, and try not to kill each other

Instead of asking other's why not try it for yourself seeing as you didn't even play Codex most of the response's you will get will be from player's who think they know how to make an FPS but none of them have ever developed a FPS so they really know nothing at all

the frame rate doesn't suck anymore

codex imo was a crap build with decrepid hamsters.. it was %40 unplayable most of the time due to the horrendous frame rate errors. if you missed codex you didn't miss much except a bunch of frustration- every single fight consisted of the frame rate freezing making it luck based if you won or not.

Yes it dose it's up and down like a working girls undies, still getting mini freezes they dont last as long as in 1 or 2 seconds it's more like a stutter now but they are still there and frequent,

Movement is still like playing in treacle, but it looks oh so pretty and we all know thats the most important thing .

But it seems to be getting better all be it very slowly, only need to put the fun facter back now or just go back 4 builds and it would be ok'ish

Yes & no. The game is smoother so allows for better gameplay, but with current fixes/adds/removals id say it it worse in sense the gun fights have turned into CoD battles of hipfire w/ limited ads function

Honestly, I've had a grand total of ONE mirofreeze in several hours of playtime.

That's it.

And movement compared to some earlier builds is slow, but compared to Codex, it's sped up - not hugely, but it's faster than it was.

More importantly, your claim about the framerate being up and down doesn't match my experience (or the your quoted poster's experience, apparently) at all. The framerate isn't rock-solid, but it's a LOT better than a few post-release supposedly AAA titles I've played recently.

Your claim about not haveing issues dosn't match my experiance so who's right ? Then you say it's not rock solid sounds a bit contradicting .

Chromosome is much better as far as gun game mechanics and weapon balance so far. It still needs work but this is better.


However every time I go back to playing Battlefield 3 I'm kind of blown over by how much better that part of the game is (ignoring graphics and map design). I will admit that a fair amount of this comes down to familiarity (after putting in over 400 hours into that game) but I've talked to others with similar impressions.

I really don't understand the hate for the ARs new iron sights (the Burst and Tact variants still have the scope, btw). It's a tiny bit harder to sight a target, sure, but it's very serviceable.
