Grade this game from 1 to 10

Oh, of course. I realised if nades actually killed people it would drastically alter gameplay.

It's just I'm used to BF1942 where, goddammit, a nade is a NADE. What's even more infuriating is that it takes three rockets - can't remember which weapon from though - to kill an infantryman.

Madness. None of the weapons feel like they have any punch - apart from the TR burster boom boom boom - and the COF makes it even worse. Gak.

You mean from the Rocklet launcher? Well gee, I'm sorry your rocket launcher isn't a god-mode weapon that kills in one hit.

And grenades do PLENTY of damage. Remember we're all wearing powered armor of some stripe or another here - a single grenade shouldn't own someone immediately. (Though it sounds like you're used to BF1942 where EVERYTHING kills in a few hits - that's how it'd work back in 1942, but this situation is a bit different.)

You're right Lise.

Anyway, why did some people give this game 1? (Which is the lowest possible score?)

[IDgaf]

Here we are... *checks in manual*, yep the rocklet launcher. It's not my rocklet launcher, it's our rocklet launcher. Common pool.

Perhaps one of my problems with nades is that, apart from death, normal players don't get any indication that the nades, apart from plasma, are doing damage.

Futuristic the setting might be, but I still think that nades should do more to people, at least visually - have the enemy knocked back a bit for example. Reward the player for what they do. Make them feel they're making a difference.

(Yes, I realise this is an MMO and mechanic constraints apply.)

The games I'm used to are BF1942 and CS so that will give you some indication of what would make the game better for me.

What the falshing red screen isn't enough indication?

[IDgaf]

No. I want them to jerk around like badly made puppets.

Where is the "This is a BETA and not yet a game, therefore should not be rated" option?

Bleh, how could so many people give this game a high score? Besides the fact that a releatively large amount of people cant even play the game, this game is uninspired.

50$ plus 150$ a year for a game with less inspiration, base gameplay, and content then Tribes 2 or HalfLife is pathetic.

I bet the same people that gave this game a 9 or a 10 are the same ones who play Asherons Call 2. Suckers for good graphics and dont care how much they are getting screwed up the ass for content (or lack there-of).

The max options is 10. I didn't want to make like 6 choices. (1-5 grading scale). And, anyway, why do you play this game since you hate it so much? (That's what I realized after reading your post)

[TekDragon]

Im not playing it. Im one of the "relatively large percentage" of people who cant even get the damn game to work. I get into the game, take 3 steps, and my computer hardlocks.

Tech support acknoweldged the problem was with their coding but they had no ETA on when it would be fixed.

Otherwise i played a bit over at my nephews.

Why do i post here? Because i think this game had the potential to be really great. Instead the development team gave us a 1/3 finished game with uninspired content and pretty graphics at a top of the chart price.

Im hoping that in 5-6 months this game will actually be worth 13$ a month. Right now its worth nothing. Its a beta.

Bleh, how could so many people give this game a high score?

Because the world is not made up of a bunch of clones of you, some people prefer to point and click or spend hours doing math to figure out the best equipment loadout, and some people like to play a game that requires skill on many different levels.

edit: and stfu with this content bullshit, more stuff does not magically equal better

Yes, it has bugs, what games dont when they 1st come out? What mmos have not had MAJOR server issues when they 1st come out?

For the 1st game of its type EVER, I say it is rather inspired

50$ plus 150$ a year for a game with less inspiration, base gameplay, and content then Tribes 2 or HalfLife is pathetic.

HalfLife had more content????
Im sorry dude, but I could never hot drop from my skeeter after being shot down by an AA max, to hop into a vanguard that is going towards the base, to run out and storm the CC with my jackhammer.

Sorry dude, but that comment you made is just silly

Nope, never liked Asherons Call 2, did like EQ some, but I am more of a stragity gamer, C&C Generals, Warcraft3, and other games I love are UT, UT2003, Tetris, etc

This game lets me have my stragity and fps in 1, cant beat that.

[TekDragon]

Mr. Vulcan i agree with your points. I just feel the game should have MUCH MORE for charging so much. I feel the game is like an infant. Go to the "What do you want in PS" thread to see how others (and I) feel about what this game should have.

On a side note..

This game lets me have my stragity and fps in 1, cant beat that.

That has got to be the first time ive ever seen you mispell a word. The world must be coming to an end. Lets all join hands and pray that Led doesnt see that. Least you didnt say gernade

[Edit]

Actually im not even bothered by the server issues. Im bothered by the fact that this game is almost totally incompatable with one of the most popular video cards out there.

easy now w/flames :P
