The game needs it's own personality, which to me, seemed lacking in The Conduit. It just seemed like a shooter, that's it. First way to help this along is the art style, this game needs a major facelift. For example Red Steel to Red Steel 2, and I'm not implying that The Conduit 2 should have the same art style as Red Steel 2, I just mean it needs to change drastically. And set-piece moments/better story telling would be great. And some variety in the missions besides "keep moving and kill everyone that gets in the way" would be good, maybe some (dare I say it) on rails vehicle sections, or some nice first person driving (think MW2). And HUGE boss battles (think the Resistance 2 monster). Also, please don't let hackers take the game over.
