My Complaints

Post » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:41 am

1) Lag. Everyone on my friends list has been having the same problem. We cant even experience online because its not even playable.

2) The fact that there is no party lobby system is actually kind of annoying. How do you expect me to play a competitive gametype without being in a party with my team? And its just tedious that if I join a game and lobby is full I have to back out because my friends can't get in. And I can't transfer from playing co-op to online without disbanding the game and leaving your entire team behind. I like the idea if I am playing a game and one of my friends join in the game they automatically join my party so I don't have to back out and pick them up. But if I want to join a game with all my friends in the beginning its just too difficult and tedious when a party lobby system is just easier.

3) The fact that you need to back out all the way to the main menu to add abilities, change your weapons, body type etc... First off you need to be able to change your body type mid game because sometimes you just need to change so you can adapt. And if your host of a private game and you back out all your friends get kicked just so you can edit your guy. It just makes the game extremely tedious when you can make it more simple.

4) Story what story? Its not even deep enough to be a story. Its like they were scared and didn't even dive into it because they were afraid that hardcoe online players wouldn't like it. That's why there is Freeplay and Campaign you should have left made Freeplay exactly how Campaign is with the shorter version and than Campaign you should have really dived into it.

I respect that they were trying to take a risk in doing something new. But some of those risk don't work out properly. But they are easily fixable with updates and patchs to fix the first 3 problems I am having. And than with DLC they can expand the story and the game more. I enjoy this game ALOT when I am actually in a game playing with my friends but when I run into one of those problems when I need to back out to edit my guy, the lag problems or when I can't get into a game where all my friends can play with me makes me not enjoy the game. Their idea of making the party system joinable with out backing out and picking them up is suppose to give the game more flow but there is so much that counter acts that and breaks the flow.

I think they have a really good game here and if they tweak it and fix the problems the game will be remarkable.

I'm guessing you're a 360 owner? Maybe read the first 10 thread titles.

As for your 4th complaint: Aside from the 10 missions with 2 separate narratives at the beginning and the end of each level for both factions, you get a bunch of audio logs which REALLY flesh out the game. A Lot. Unlock more of them by playing, give them a listen. They're really interesting.

EDIT: And as for your third complaint: I kinda agree and I kinda don't. I don't see it making much sense switching body type mid game, I think it's sound to say you should have enough foresight to know what body type you want to use, but it's boners having to exit a server after a match just to see what new goodies I just unlocked or to use credits to get new abilities.

I wanted to start a thread like this but then I realized I didn't have enough bandwidth to make the post.

This thread is really unnecessary.
Could you not have just posted these in one of the other sixty threads moaning about the same thing?

Maybe that's why you're lagging in game?
