I've decided to stop playing until they patch some changes.


Recon is too overpowered, owns long range, close range, has sensor balls, C4 and mortar strikes. Too many people play as it because of this.

Also the tank are well overpowered taking too much damage and being repaired too easily.


Last, now the BETA has run a bit most people realise you can just steamroll through bases by destroying buildings and crushing crates, or C4 them in record time. Only takes 2 people working together to win a game, rest of team is just a distraction for the enemy.


Games going one of two ways now, either the attackers don't get past first base because they are noobs, or the attackers know how to win easy and steamroll to last base.


Unbalanced, boring mess. Really hope they patch the BETA with some balance updates.

That just seems like a community issue to me again.

That's why I hope they give clan support for consoles >.<

I think Recon isn't too over powering. In the first base with huge open places, it's easy to wipe out Snipers as they go to predictable places and bunch up. With a decent guy on the main tank and the turret, newb snipers should be wiped out. It's just a matter of people spotting them, and not turning their back on the fucking snipers until they're dead. Some fucking people just have the mentality that if they ignore problems, they'll go away in this game >.< I'll yell, "Take out the UAV!" and no one does it and lets it fly around low for a good 5-6 minutes.

Especially with Kill Cam, there's a sentiment that Recon is actually too hard.

I think that mortars are now powerful enough to take out vehicles, and are softer for infantry now so that they can escape if they react quick enough.

The fucking Recon and sensor ball problem is only a problem when people don't create a battle line and everyone's just running around and spinning around like CoD. They need to get into posititions, cover the center and both flanks, and keep an eye on the mini map. If a bunch of guys on the left side of town are being wiped out, people need to rush over there, or at least keep in mind that the enemy are coming from the left.

If there's a shit load of infantry, the ninja will get caught easily.

I think that there should be a drill over heating though, like someone suggested.

God damn, this game is absolutely fun if you play with people with mics, even if you don't know them.
