Evolve isn't always online lol. And God forbid it takes "several matches" to unlock something as IGN says LOL. One of the other reviews also complained about having to play a while to unlock stuff. They say that sucks, I think it's awesome. Another great thing about it is it forces people to expand their playstyle by making them rank up different abilities. You can't unlock the next medic without using your heal or tranq gun. Awesome.

With that said, unless you suck, it doesn't take long to level things up at all. Some people want instant gratification I guess.

its not awesome if you have to grind for a unlock, and the way of unlocking stuff is silly too

Grinding is how unlocks work in every game. Want that scope for that gun? Get X amount of kills with it. Want the improved version of this perk? Use that perk X amount of times. Want to unlock this gun? Reach X level or earn X amount of in game currency to unlock it.

Want to unlock the next medic? Get used to the previous medic first. Want to unlock a more damaging rock throw for Goliath? Deal X amount of damage with it first. It's the same thing.

I guess this is why quick unlock DLC is so popular in Battlefield, etc. Sometimes people just want everything unlocked from the start. To help you out though, I believe the day one patch for Evolve (which reviewers were not using) reduces the time it takes to unlock things. So there you go.

the unlocks in the evolve beta were just stupid grinds, you had to adust your playing style to get some of the unlocks, thats just bad.

im not a fan of unlock in mp games at all, mp games should be about skill.  its okay in mmorpgs because most grinds teach you something.

i have to fight a boss over and over till he drops something cool? well that sucks, but if its not to easy its fine, and most mmorpgs dont need hard grinding for pvp
