I think the multiplayer is gonna be extremely repetitive. Does it have singleplayer? because as of now i think it's not worth its $60 price tag like Titanfall wasnt.

I think this as well. I mean it's a fun mechanic but how many modes can you really offer and how different from other shooters will it really end up being? How much customization can you offer? Etc. etc.

I don't see why it couldn't have similar gameplay modes (capture the flag, team deathmatch, free-for-all). They showcased a variety of different weapons.

You could rebalance paint reload times, shooting depth and frequency, speed in swimming through paint. If you pay attention to the gameplay footage, scoring isn't based solely on the amount of paint area, but also on kills. Conceivably, it's possible to have a match where winning team doesn't have the most painted in area, but wins on having the most kills.

Having 3, 4 or more teams in play could make it interesting too.

There's plenty of depth to the core mechanic to make for a very interesting shooter.
