Nighthawk HRR
Spaceman
I've tuned into WCNews.com for years waiting for a WC fix and it finally came out, but i'm unimpressed by what this game offers. I'm mainly focusing on the gameplay, not the other things like music.
1) You join a game, but if you're not there when it starts, you can't possibly win. This is because you're too far behind on the frag count to do so, or the capital ships are already too far gone, etc.
2) No way to balance teams it seems, and this is especially annoying when you are playing the capital ship games where numbers matter more. You might be able to out-fly an opposing team in a frag game, but you're not going to blow up the ship faster than they are. On top of this, you can just put everyone on one side and you'd never know. THe game needs to autobalance teams!
3) leaderboards are going to be rather pointless once people just start letting friends frag them to get their frag counts up. I'm in 28th place right now on the beartrap frags with 9 kills...i don't expect that to be in the top 3000 once people start just letting people run up their kill counts.
4) Servers don't allow for people to keep playing together for several hours at once. INstead, once the game is over, everyone is ejected from the server and must find a new room. I'm sorry, but if i get in a good room i'd like to stay there for a while. I can understand this for ranked rooms, but not for the casual player match rooms.
5) Umm, has anyone found any reasoning to unlocking the ships? I don't know if i've unlocked more than 1 kilrathi ship yet, and i've unlocked 4-5 Terran ships already.
Overall i'm mostly frustrated by #2 and #4. It's a huge waste of time to find and join a room just to realize that everyone's on one side, or that the game is almost over and i'm just going to be kicked out of the room when the game ends anyways. Has anyone else felt similarly?
