I'M BACK!!!!
After a long semi self imposed exile from GAF, where I was only lurking and reading with no posting, I am back!
Thank you Bishop. Your problem solving skills almost exceed your fame around here.
That said, this game is fantastic. But there is some balance that is needed to make stuff slightly more fun and gameplay flow a touch better in MP.
I am playing each class to full ribbons before I move to the next. As such, I played a lot of medic, and now a lot of Engineer. Its been a couple busy weeks at work, and I missed the KZ2 first weekend due PS3 being in transit from the shop.
These are my suggestions:
Medic
- make those health packs stand out on the ground better. I use them for myself mostly because people cant see them. So I have to run up and drop them on someone to make them effective.
- who ever let the medic's gun graphics pass through was high. That thing is hideous. I understand the zapping ray, but it looks like you are holding one of those ray guns from bad 60's sci-fi movies.
- also, why is there no ribbon/medal that lets you either get more points from revive or reduce the reviver cooldown?
Engineer
- make the turrets stronger. Not overpowered, but at least threatening. They are so weak on hitpoints that increasing the damage would let people destroy them easily, but it would also force them to pay attention and not just run by without caring about turrets.
- let the engineer see all the turrets on a map. And add a deconstruct turret mechanic. I hate wasting my ammo on a turret I want to destroy. And I hate deploying a turret in a place to defend during a capture/hold and then the game changes to bodycount and all of a sudden my turret is obsolete.
I will post more classes as I go through them.
Other overall impressions and suggestions:
- allow us a quick whole map view button. See which squad is fighting where, so I know where to focus and run off to.
- Change the sabo so I don't have to rely on the crosshair changing colors to see if he is a phony. I can either tap him with a few bullets (bad idea with FF on) or wait for the crosshair. But I like to play without crosshair, which makes the game 100 times better.
- Allow dedicated server hosting. I have no problem leaving the PS3 on overnight hosting a game for you guys.
- Improve those air support drones. Make them threatening and give them strong weapons to suppress enemies. This would also improve the usefulness of turrets as it would make them necessary to counter air support.
This game is fantastic and gaf server warzone mode with FF on is probably the best MP experience I have had on a console to date.
WOOHOO, I am back!!
