Played my first 2ish hours(X1) mostly solo. Havent found a way to do competitive multi yet, I likely wouldnt do it too much though. First impressions.


Good:
I like the feel of being on a large map I havent explored everything and hope to do so in the near future.
Random attack/defense events are fun.
Everything seems to run smoothly, good draw distance

Bad
AI, holy hell its terrible. I played hard out of the gate, its just dumb
Enemy spawn locations are annoying
Last gen graphics
Enemies/good guys all look the same

Looking like I will cancel my preorder ATM, but I am not a big on console FPSing, so not a surprise. If I had any real life friends with next gen that wanted to coop I would do it though(they all have 360's though)

edit:Also no one is using microphones, not a word from anyone.

I don't hear a peep from anyone either but idk how the voice chat works, if it's only people in your fire team, or if you can hear others when you play solo. I agree about the random events, though I am now max beta level and have only seen one. I did the strike mission earlier, even with 2 other people the 2 boss fights were basically just sit and slowly whittle away at their health bar for 10 minutes until they finally died. Pretty boring. I am sure the final game will have more exciting stuff though.

Imho they capped the beta too low. You don't really get a sense really of any difference in classes or cool abilities. It seems like it's just a meh shooter.
