played the demo and it pretty much had me sold <3
seems like a lot of games are underrated these days.
Some issues I hope they fix with the game
General :
I've found all the 3rd slot perks to be lackluster and a little too "global" which I think coulda been an opportunity to put some more interesting stuff in
we need host migration so badly, and the servers themselves are mostly pretty laggy.. and when an error occurs with starting an actual game up (be it you dont have the maps, or the host left, whatever) your party gets disbanded and you get thrown back to the main menu.. seriously? wtf?
and there is also an issue where the game will put you IN the game, IN "spectator" team.. so both teams are your enemy and you just run around as if you were deathmatch mode gunning everyone down.. and most of these fools think its a hack or a cheat.. no.. its just the games poorly done autobalance program
and the melee really needs some actual hit stun (like the friggin tornado gets).. I'm really sick of getting the jump on someone, melee'ing them, and then they recover faster than I do and wind up blastin me with an EMP shotty or something
Scout :
-Decoy needs serious buffing.. either give the residual damage perk a lot more damage.. or make it so the stun doesnt break on damage because
A.) it takes a few moments before the decoy even becomes active
B.) if the decoy takes some random spray-fire, it is destroyed
Or, I think they should let you "poison" existing energon cubes on the map to take this skills place
Soldier :
-for a class with the most HP.. they dont seem to live as long as you'd think
-the hitbox on tornado is ridiculous.. you cant even JUMP over it (not even a double jump).. I think this should be adjusted, and also the tornado seems to be absolutely immune to melee during its active frames.. still.. I think only a hitbox adjustment (make it slightly smaller) would balance this ability
overall, soldier feels ok, but I think he could use some more defining abilities
Scientist :
-Scientists are absolutely ridiculous.. I dont even know why they're allowed to be so versatile, while the other classes stagnate with abilities that are pretty much only geared towards one thing. Scientist can be a pure healer, a combat medic, or a Rogue / Spy... I think when you play "capture the energon nodes" and a scientist rapes 2 nodes at the same time after obtaining the 7-kill streak Nucleon Shock Cannon, youll see what I'm talking about
Leader :
-Possibly the easiest and dumbest class in the game... you press warcry... run in, and melee melee melee, random gunfire, melee melee.. and even if you die..oh well you had the martyrd-- I MEAN.. whatever they call martyrdom in cybertron... you will get kills regardless if you even know how to play this game or not
I think ways to make this class more skillful, is to have an actual throw animation on the stupid thermal mines.. not just "oh it suddenly existed and is active as soon as I pressed B"... and also have the warcry buff either not affect yourself and only team members.. or just boost only your defense, while increasing only allies damage
I really really like this game and I want to see it do well.. I just think they rushed some of the stuff out without really having a chance to see what players do in the game
also, there needs to be a better reward than a stupid icon for Prest-- I mean prime mode 😮
I thought leaders had more health that soldiers 😬
As much as I love this game, there are a few problems with multiplayer.
I never play as scout or scientists, as they both have ridiculously low health. That, coupled with the poor hitboxes the game has means you can get nicked in the shoulder by a few minigun rounds to the shoulder and it will count as a headshot, whereas soldiers and leaders can take 2-3 battle pistol rounds each. Kind of silly if you ask me.
Also, the sudden speed boost tornado users get. By the time you've transformed into a vehicle to run away, you're already dead.
Despite this, I still maintain that every class can be played well - I just don't sneaking around as a scout in a game that is clearly encouraging people to jump into the fray.

lol.. I hope that didnt sound condescending, as I didnt mean it that way at all..
I'm still trying (and failing HAARD) to make Decoy a useful ability.. it doesnt look like thats gonna happen -,-
and I completely agree that every class can be played well.. its just that some are substantially more annoying to get kills with than others
Playin' as a scientist is like runnin' a gauntlet for me. They have such low amounts of health, and the lag gets me killed, but I wanna continue playin' as a scientist, weird.
How far have you guys gotten on escalation mode? I haven't tried it out that much, but the group I was in, we made it to escalation level 10 I think, it was pretty chaotic.

Scientist gets pretty amazing.. they do so much damage and have so many ways of getting health back lol
escalation is pretty damn hard.. I've only tried it with me and one other.. and we'd get to like.. probably almost 10 or so... whichever one the brutes start showing up -,-
