Of course the flip side is, is there any need to put so much effort and resources to make a whole bunch of diverse maps when 80% of the playing time will be spent in whatever Lockout / Metro / Gibraltar / Karkand map they come up with?
Player base is dumb. I usually play on 64 player servers and I constantly see maps win a vote with only 4 or 5 votes.
Yea, it's not awful... Unless there's 3 game modes or something, and the 12 maps are divided up with 4 each... And only one of the modes is any good. That would mean the game effectively only has 4-8 maps.
It's highway robbery. It's a damn reskin of BF4, with an on rails walker, with 12 maps that take about 5 monkeys to hammer out in about 2 months.
Im getting tired of every AAA release feeling like it was made by Michael Bay. Over the top visuals & effects mean massive budgets and limited amount of content by necessity... Which means dilution of the final product in the name of capturing mass appeal.
I was pretty deep into MMORPG/arena shooters from 1999-2010, then took a pretty severe vidya break from 2011-2014. I've been largely insulated from industry issues until now, since I adopted PS4 quite early in the generation. Gaming has become... Shit.
I'm going to buy this. Everything seems good except for the whole 'no space battles' part.
Yep. And then comes the corporate spin of what a great value the game is, and we sink even deeper into the rabbit hole of shit.
If you're going to spend time hoping things, isn't it more productive to hope that it's a good game?
