After seeing videos for months now I have wanted to play the game and hoped it would come to the PC at some point. I was given a code to play the PS3 beta only to find out that I didn't have room for it. Started deleting what I was willing to delete and then saw the files size. I wasn't deleting all my game saves and was down to the ones that I play most on the PS3. Glad I didn't because I read a post from someone saying that you have to have PS+ to play on the PS3. I was able to get a code from someone on CAG and started playing on the 360. I'm glad I was able to play the beta and I'm glad they opened it to everyone. I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one that really isn't feeling it with this game. I know it's just beta, but the core of the game is there and it feels lacking and like it's trying to hard.
Take the races as the first example. If you're going to have them why not give them different abilities that aren't game breaking. It's pointless in having the different races outside of story and looks. Hell they could have just made everyone human and fight the other races or have them as bots. It shouldn't have changes the game much at all.
Classes are to a point the same way. At level 5 with the Warlock and level 4 with the Hunter they for the most part feel the same. Sure they have different skills but nothing stands out at least not at the lower levels.
For the missions it would be nice if you could group up with people around you, but as of now I haven't seen anything showing you can. Really other than just to do it what's the point. Even the end of the missions that don't let you respawn are easy enough not to need help unless you get impatient. I'm having the inpatients issue with the 3rd or 4th right now. The one that you have to fight off the mobs as your Ghost does hacks or does what ever it's doing to the thing at the end of the room. Hell the issue could also be because I was at to low of a level for that or to play it how I was. I was running around trying to melee everything.
Missions in the free run world seem to be just to time consuming. All that I have done are find a beacon, kill the enemies around it or go to the other end of the map to do something. Finish it and oh their's another beacon and again it's go back to the other end of the map and do something there. When you get there you see that someone else killed everything and oh shit it all respawned, and not just what is where I'm at. Everything respawned at the same time so you run some place else to get out of the middle of it all and then it spawns.
It just seems like other games have done this so much better and for a beta that is now public if all this is different in the retail version why not put it in beta. The beta is where you're going to lock in the people that are unsure or drive them away. I feel like this game could be and should be better than what it is. Seems like they're just trying to take Halo and make it an MMO that doesn't work. MAG did it well I thought till the servers were shut down or died and the replacement, EVE I think it is, seemed to do it well however they were just MMO. This tries to make the MMO, single player online and first person shooter all in one and all feel lacking to me. I'd rather them have just made it just like Halo and had the normal online modes that are in most shooters. Take the MMO aspect out because it doesn't seem to work and go back to the drawing board to make this just a FPS with your typical online modes.
When or if this game comes to the PC I'll pick it up when it's on sale for around 40 maybe 50 for a game of the year edition with what ever DLC that comes out. Other than that I really don't see me picking this up at all. This game was just a big let down from the beta and keeping things out because it's a beta is no excuse. Like I said it's stupid not to have as close to the retail version as you can get for the beta. If the issues that I had aren't fixed by release no point in getting the game when or if it comes to the PC.
ing retarded.
