My review

[Sanxis]

First , I want to thank developers for bringing back old memories . While playing the game I've made my opinions for things that bother me and I'd like to share them with you .

1) For me launcher doesn't work , so while using in-game server browser , I can't see the ping of servers and the maps . I have to check the tags to see if its from correct zone , the problem is not every server using tags as their name and there is no way to know it .

2) While playing the game there are no options to change anything ( no sound , key or gameplay settings ) I hope you guys are going to add it .

3) Vote and chat system needs to be tweaked . %51 of players vote to work is not good , it is hard to get even 7+ vote on something . Chat disappears too soon , hard to read the messages while fighting and opening console to read them is waste of time .

4) Sbh's laser rifle seems weak compared to others , maybe decrease the rate of fire and increase the damage . It is not easy to kill someone if they are on alert and constantly moving and jumping , if not then they are already dead .

5) Speaking of moving , while fighting everyone is jumping like a kangaroo , I think infantry needs to be a little slower.

6) Quickswitching needs to be fixed if possible . If they have good aim , Sydney / Ravenshaw becomes deadly as fuck . You have almost no chance against them on close combat .

7) There are some glitched places to put beacons , it needs to be fixed ( there is a thread about it ) . But i think roofs are legit places . At least you have air vehicles to get up there ( if you have one ) And it is team's fault letting enemy paradrop . Because someone have to defend the base .

8) Helicopters are weak , I love using them but I mean what is the point of getting them , if the infantry and vehicles have longer range than them ? They need more health / armor and increase of their weapon range . They are air vehicles after all , not some paper plane ! Its funny that I have to get close to them more than they do to shoot . Good luck getting past the tiberium field on Whiteout or the gunners on Walls ( the middle ). They really need range buff if not the armor . By the way why do we have gunner on apache / orca ? It is most useless thing in game , you can't even aim that , you are at pilot's mercy . Swap the missile launcher with machine gun or let us aim the damn thing . I'd prefer machine gun thought . And I think they need to be specialized . Apache = Anti Armor ( to counter GDI tanks ) and Orca = Anti Infantry . It feels like pilotting the Little Bird ( From the damage and health perspective ) from Battlefield instead of the Attack Helicopter .

9) %80 of time when I join a server it is always Field / Goldrush . I don't know what other people think but I don't like playing these maps for hours . I prefer Walls , Islands and Mesa . Because of the launcher problem I can't see the maps servers are playing so I need to check every server to find correct one .

10) Sniping seems too easy , its feels like 360 no-scope . Don't you guys think ? Like Sydney or Raven , Sakura / Havocs dominating battlefield with their skills (!) body shooting people .

11) Sometimes when defusing a beacon , for some unknown reason character suicides . This happened to me and others so many times . I can't count how many times we lost a building because everyone trying to defuse it died from heart attack ? ( Edit : Looks like it is a c4 bug )

12) Flamethrower needs a serious buff , If I encounter one using it , I just laugh at them and their pathetic damage .

13) Hackers everywhere ! Speedhackers and aimbotters ( this is new ) . I hope developers are going to fix it with next patch .

14) In some places you can get under the map and get stuck , only way to escape is suicide . ( Example : rocks on Walls )

By the way are we going to get new units ? The extra units from renegade on multiplayer practice , Initiate , Acolyte and Templar maybe ? I'd love to play as them , using tiberium weapons and healing in tiberium fields . But then there would be tiberium field campers I think . Overall this is a very good game for an open beta , I remember how awful Battlefield 3 beta was , damn those hilarious glitches ...

These all I've had in my mind . I want to know what do you guys think about .

It's harder since people can sprint now (your point #5). Reload times have increased too, and other infantry have received buffs so it's easy to ambush a sniper and kill them.

Probably because of the timed c4. If the SBH that placed it dies he no longer gets kill credit and as such your death will appear as a suicide when you get killed by it.

But we were 5 - 6 meters away from the beacon while defusing and there was no c4 nearby . I can understand if 1 or 2 player died but 6 engi dying instantly is ridiculous . You may be right but I check everytime before defusing it . I don't know maybe c4 became invisible ?

I have noticed that C4 explosions occasionally don't render. This is most common for me with remote C4. I'll detonate it but it won't visually explode, but both the nearby enemy and myself take damage from it.

Well then it is a c4 bug . I wouldn't be mad like this if I saw or heard the explosion at least .
