» Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:44 am Perhaps it's just me though there are may people who think this. This isn't about lag or bossters or whatever, this is merely about the experience of multiplayer.
Now starting from the beginning, I played the demo and LOVED it. I resolved to make this my got to game for MP. Now this still stands but there are a mixture of factors in this game that make the MP experience sour. I'll be referring to my case.
I'm a sniper and it's rewarding when you get a successful kill. However, I do feel like this game isn't very suited to snipers as if they were only included because other games have a sniper class. There are no maps that caters to this class and simply adding tall structures doesn't mean that this is a game for snipers. It feels as if sniping (long range combat) here is literally long range combat. Imagine me and an enemy on a runway and I have a DSG-1 and he has a SCAR. It feels as if to use the sniper properly you HAVE to be in an open area as opposed to finding a nice spot to pick people off.
The weapons play a part here too. Again, referring to myself, I'm going to add to the point about the maps. I remember being in Pier 17 and in the tilted building opposite the mall. Why is it that the other primary weapons excluding the shotguns have the same range as the DSG-1? I'm constantly being killed by the SCAR from insane distances. All this is ruining the fun.
As for Kill Streaks, I ditched Retriever because I stopped caring about he KS rewards since now they're boring and repetitive. I came to this MP after player Transformers: War for Cybertron and that game had 12 KS rewards in total - 3 for each class which mixed up the game. So at this point I can kind of see where people are coming from talking about repetitive/boring matches.
Of course the players don't help things but that's natural right e.g. getting shot in the back a lot. The bugs in the game too don't help either but that is a minor gripe.
