The game can be really fun when everyone has unlocked all the classes and abilities and can switch them around and play different roles.. But I'm thinking the road to get there will discourage a lot more than it will encourage. I feel like the grind in this game is not as much fun as COD4. The 8x5 per round requirement is not conducive to natural play, but forces you to do ridiculous things which take away from fun strategic play. Add that to the fact that each game is 20-30 minutes and you can start to see where people get discouraged with unlocking things.. (eg. you spend 20mins and come 1 req. short of unlocking some ribbon and the things you did don't persist towards unlocks)Thrakier said:People even like to respawn more than being revived...they have new ammo and new greandes. Often I get revived in situations where I instantly die again...this game needs a ton more tweaks.
Also the badge system is broken. Get an reward for 100 melee kills? Great! I'll try to melee as often as possible.
Get a reward for doing 8 x 5 melee kills in ONE ROUND!? WTF? I have to go to a special server where people only do melee attacks. Is this supposed to be FUN? No, it's WORK!!
I somehow managed to keep my group of friends (around 10 guys) still interested in this game, but it's because I've been going through much effort to organize weekly private games amongst us. I see that the community in general has dropped off a bit though..
I'm hoping the next patch will bring back some of the excitement from week 1. There's so much potential for this game with a more tweaks. (and party/matchmaking )
