Lower required level need to play Classic and Pro variants

Post » Sat Jan 01, 2011 7:20 pm

It would make finding a game much easier. Honestly, I would like to hear the reason from a developer as to why it's at such a high level just for a variant of a gametype... it makes no sense.

I'm currently sitting in a lobby and exiting a lobby for over 15 minutes now while only being able to find a lobby with no more than two people in it...

That's just stupid... I cannot believe that. Wow.... I agree the playlists will remain dead. With the pace of which people are leveling legit and the amount of levels needed to play this, no one will be in these playlists... why bother having them if they can't even be accessed.

Stupid move on Crytek's part. I love this game, but this decision leaves me stunned. I would absolutely love to really hear a developer explain this now.

yea agreed, i'd really like to try more of the game modes but i can't find any games... I would of thought they would be unlocked between 10 - 15 levels since you have 1 - 10 to learn the basics of gameplay.

Yup let's make a game type only 11 out of 50 levels can play. Crytek is destroying there console following in a flash :P

I've unlocked all modes except Pro and all game types. I haven't had the game a week yet. Yes, it's unfortunate that the modes are locked, BUT... it doesn't take that long to level up to get most of them.

Agreed....I don't know why a majority of game modes are locked until you get halfway thru the ranking system.

Plus I did join a classic game (been a while since I've been in one cuz of some problem or something) and it was kickass fun! No suit abuse nonsense, just grunts versus grunts.

Only downside in those games is that you don't really level up your suit modules. For the most part you level your weapons.

Yeah especially Pro. Why does it take all the way to level 39 to play?!?! Who thought of that!?

I have to agree, I'm not the biggest fan of unlocks in the first place, and these are ridiculous.

But since it leveling takes a bit longer than most games for the average gamer, these playlists won't be played because they take too long to get too. I want to play both Classic and Pro. I'm currently level 31 and I've been playing a lot since launch. I have work and real life things, but I just wish these playlists would be at a lower level so more people could play them.

Just bumping this thread. Devs need to address this. I hate playing paintball style multiplayer in FPS. Game is otherwise enjoyable, but "regular" mode is so annoying, it has made C2 instant trade-in fodder for me.

I know it's a little off topic, but what do you get for doing the Nanosuit Reboot (prestiege) mode anyways? Unique dog tags? Skins for weapons? or just a chance to go through multiplayer again? I've been hearing rumors and i'm going crazy trying to figure out if it's true or not D:

i haven't played much since the reboot, currently only lvl 6, only noticed CELL scar skin (it's white like in the campaign) and one new dog tag awarded for rebooting (nothing special), and of course a new emblem
idk maybe there is something more later on the levels
notice that ALL YOUR STATS ARE RESET (k/d, w/l etc) except your total amount of xp

I think that the Crytek set the bar for unlocking playlists too high.

The online population for this game will only ever go down, and most casuals will play for a few weeks before moving on, not enough time to unlock half the gametypes (esp with the steep leaning curve). This means it will get harder and harder to find players in the classic & pro playlists.

Personally I would have set the gametypes to all be unlocked within 10 hours of play for an average gamer (1 to 2 weeks play). This also means that those who reboot won't have to wait for ages to play their favourite playlist.

Ive been 39+ for a couple days now and was only to get into one game of pro and only on deathmatch. Still waiting on a crash site pro community. I really want to experience some of the pro before i decide to prestige or not.

I agree that it was not a wise decision for the developer, I can only imagine that they are hoping that if you see the other modes have to be unlocked, you will play more and more. What they didn't expect is the horrible MP experience that people are having. This game will die within a few months if it does not get corrected.

I managed to play a few full classic games yesterday but it only seemed like there was one lobby and that was it.
