Played through all the Beta content. So here is my thoughts.
- Loved the gun-play personally and really love the customization ability with your loadouts. Looks like there is a ton of weapons to acquire in the full version.
- Loved the map. Thought it was fairly interesting and beautiful. Enjoyed getting into firefights in towns and having to avoid townsfolk.
- Loved the drone! Very cool addition and fun. Launching motor strikes or setting up and initiating sync strikes was fun as hell. Once you get the hang of it, i could see it be borderline OP lol.
- AI teammates were okay. I told them to breach, they would do it and clear out a building. I told them to shoot from a vehicle, hold back or whatever they would do so. Simplistic, but it worked for me.
- As a lot of people said, vehicles need some work. I found them floaty and awkward. Motorcycles to me were crazy to use, almost on a comical level. Like strapping a rockets between your legs lol. Helicopters were odd too. I had this weird problem where when trying to move forward, the nose of the chopper would try and continuously point upwards.
- Lack of mission variety. Most of it seemed, Go here, clean these people out..tag this equipment and get info. Now this was only a small part of the game, so maybe the rest will be different? I have to say, i thought the missions to run convoys off the roads, or steal helicopters/planes/vehicles i had a lot of fun with though.
- Character animations were a little wonky in cut-scenes. Not much else to say about that.
- Enemy AI needs tweaking. There was times i could sneak up to an enemy and grab them in broad daylight. Then other times were my team and i would be prone crawling towards an objective in the middle of the night through thick grass and we would be spotted from say 200 yards away? Not sure what sets that off?
- Command wheel i feel needs to be tweaked as well. There were times when i would try and scroll over a command (played on PS4) with the controller and the highlight would just keep passing over the command i wanted. Or sometimes wouldnt move at all. or be delayed in moving.
Have to say despite its quirks, i had fun with it though. And with a few adjustments could be a solid game. I know PVP is kinda up in the air with this game, but i imagine a 4 vs 4 team deathmatch or hardpoint mode could be a blast on this map (not without adjustments to the drone though in my opinion to balance things however).
I probably will pick this up. But not at launch. It comes out like a week after Zelda and Horizon, so ill be busy with those. But in the summer when releases slow down for me, id probably pick this up.
