They're able to mark, but it takes longer.

Nothing but Rush night maps.
If this the direction the community headed, I'm out.

Hoping it corrects itself
But Im not a big fan of it either especially with it being nothing but night maps. Make this shit challenging

I really don't get why people go with rush maps. Whatever semblance of level design gets thrown completely out of the window and it just becomes full chaos.

Can't wait until those people find out what awaits them at the end of the yellow ascension road then.
Pressing the lower left bit of the pad should bring up options

Man, enforcers are fucking badass.
My dude is still lv6, so I don't even have the actually broken shit and I still think that.
Don't sleep on them in Comm Control.

Really disappointed by the lack of female hairstyles :/ they offer no medium or long hairstyles at all and that just sucks.

Yeah, not even going to bother with ascension just like I don't bother with doing it with other games. Wish they just kept the ranking system.
Ascend as infiltrator and get the penis suit. No thanks.

I was actually surprised by how there are only about 4 hair styles.
How many do male characters get?
Four.
That's an LMG right? I'm on my way to that and I've really taken to one of the LMGs

The facial hair options are fucking worst though.
It's like none of the developers ever saw someone with a proper beard in their entire lives.

Yeah, it's an LMG that you unlock in the mid-20s. It's really good with the lethal weapon trait and the attachments. Even better when you're prone.
The other LMGs are really good with that setup as well but the UN-AAM shoots much faster.

It's the flaw of carrot on a stick leveling/unlocking.
Players seek out meat grinders to do it as fast as possible, since they're playing to level up and unlock stuff instead of playing for fun.
A system plucked straight out of garbage game design.

I happen to like the rush maps. I don't think its because anyone is trying to grind. Its the same reason Nuketown has been one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty history. Small crowded maps lead to some fun exciting chaos. That might not be what everyone is looking for with this but I don't mind them as long as the rotation of maps includes some full sized ones as well.
Rush Maps with everyone as an Enforcer with the grenade drop upon death ability

Nuketown is a meat grinder map, fastest way to level up/unlock everything.
Same reason garbage like Operation Metro in BF3/4 is played so much, it's everything wrong with modern BF map design, no vehicles, completely linear. Yet played so much because gotta grind that meat.
I was totally unable to recreate my beard. I did get the rest of the character to look eerily accurate. To the point where I was glad to put a mask on him. It was too spooky to look at myself in game.

Maybe they will add some more like they are doing with those hats/outfits.
Yeah. One of my best matches so far has been after running out of ammo with a shield toting Enforcer. I proceeded to sprint around and CQC people for a solid few minutes and get four or five takedowns in rapid succession. It was a surprisingly effective blast to come from a position of little hope to toppling the enemy with my hands.

I tried to play this game again but it's just such a collossal waste of time.
Failed matchmaking.
Load Times.
Games where the host disconnects after dying in the first round and doesn't want to wait.
Games where the host disconnects because he lost.
Games where the game just disconnects you for no reason.
Games where you're fully outclassed by a team working together who have better equipment.
I feel like for every hour I spend with this mode i am going to get 15 minutes of runaround. Unless they fix this they can shut the servers down tomorrow and i won't care.
The sneaking vs lethal mode is a lot of fun when it works though.

pick some up off a dead guy or get ready to do some judo.
Host your own if you don't want to deal with bad hosts, it also avoids the failed connection problem, which is also mostly avoided by going to the third page of the search list anyways. And I'd certainly hope a team that's working together is outperforming a team who isn't.

Yeah hair and beard options are garbage. 4 generic short hairstyles for male characters. Wow. Customization in general sucks. The gear sucks. The only thing I cared enough to save GP up for was the aviators. MGO twitter said we'd be getting stuff like the animal hats soon though.
Also, if you want faster GP just play automatch. You get 50 for loss and 100 for win. Non-automatch gives you 10 and 20.
Also what happens with ascension? You go back to level 1 right? What else?

First ascension gives you 10k GP and a special class suit - ghillie for scouts, battle dress for enforcers, sneaking suit for infiltrators - plus a new helmet. Second and third ascensions give you more GP and extra colors for your special suit and that's the cap.
You get ugly clothing and GP bonus depending on ascension level.

They added some hair styles in MGO2 if i'm remembering correctly (could have just been the afro wig). I'd love for this game to be refined and built upon with expansions and new content, but I absolutely am not counting on it.

So the if gear is purely cosmetic, why the hell do the descriptions make it sound like they do something? It has to be that they couldn't get the stuff in time for release.

It was the same in MGO2, it's just flavor text.
Scout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hr-9b0u9t4
Enforcer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu5KDue9USM
The scout one is ugmo. The only reason I'm tempted to ascend (whenever I get there) is because I figured some of the more whacky options coming might require an ascension, so why not get started early.

You lose all your weapons? LOOOOOOL
Stone Ocean

Weapons, skills, attachments, all gone until you level up again.
Mr Fahrenheit

That's how prestige modes in these games generally work, yea.
RevolverRoden

Wow. Disappointing
Does ascension give you more weapon slots? Like being able to equip 2 secondary weapons and more than 1 grenade?
I don't play many online shooters, so eh. Still stupid imo. At least make the trade-off worth it.
What do you mean? You have 57 shots. More than enough to kill anything that moves. *the pose*
Stone Ocean
Member
I believe you get that from equipping lethal/non lethal 3.
Ascension gives you jack shit aside from the one costume, some colors, some GP and a little star on your name.
But headdress!
beyond the 2nd prestige or so
But yeah, now that I've hit level 11 and they're wanting 4,000 or so EXP each level up now, I'm like "yeah, not worth doing all that bullshit a second time."
