Enlisted has been very fun especially during the Normandy test. However after the Normandy test ended I have not been playing that much. Enlisted in the battle of Moscow is just so bland and boring. It gets repetitive and progression is slow.
When I played enlisted for the first time during the first open test in Moscow the game was meh. The Berlin test on the contrary was AMAZING. I stayed up for 48 hours and after the test I got bored playing other games knowing that all I wanted to do was ambush a t-34 with a Panzerschreck from the second story window. Now my theory behind why I enjoyed Berlin so much better was that it had better infantry anti tank options and the progression had weapons that were very exiting to use as well progression was fast and each map had lots of action with many players.
Normandy was almost as fun because a whole new nation was introduced and all the weapons were unlocked so I would not just get bored and leave I would go play another squad class and when I ran out of squads to try I would go again from the start of the squad list. It was also very balanced because everyone was equal. Each person had the roughly the same abilities and no one was paying to win unlike Moscow.
Now I would like to offer some suggestions to make players play longer and have an overall better experience while playing.
-Increase progression speed or remove it all together
Getting 100 kills and barley making a dent in progression just makes me want to alt+f4 my game and do something else. Normandy was so much fun because you did not have to progress and had loads of content to play with it was very enjoyable because of that and I was playing Normandy frequently.
- Better maps
In Moscow only the push maps for me are enjoyable. They have so much infantry all clashing at strategic points all along the map. Good areas for defense like bridges or narrow gaps in between houses or elevated terrain to fortify. The attackers also have the challenge of overcoming these by flanking or using armor strategically. On the contrary the domination maps are so boring with small squirmishes here and their with armor and fortifications playing next to no roles.
-Game modes
In my opinion domination should be removed because of how little combat one can see and how little action one can see in such a dragged out game. Invasion is so much better it has gotten to the point that I just alt+f4 when I get domination because I despise the game mode so much its just such an annoying thing to see while loading in.
-Pay 2 win
The founders packs put bluntly are pay 2 win. This game is going down a dark path if this continues. The game in my opinion should have been a pay to play. You may argue that your survey says otherwise, but people always will want free stuff. Like if you went to a Restaurant and ordered food and they said you could pay or you could not pay of course you would not pay. But in reality that’s not how free to play games work. Free to play would mean that yes you would get the meal for free, but someone who paid would get better food and served before you because that’s business you treat the people who pay more better. So why not just have everyone pay 20 dollars and all get the same experience? With the offer for purchase of in game cosmetics or different BALANCED weapons. Or another suggestion would be to charge for the campaigns, but for the sake of peoples sanity stop selling pay 2 win items like the founders pack. It has been one of the largest reasons why I despise Moscow so much now.
In conclusion I wish these changes would be implemented, but I doubt pay 2 win will ever go away so at the least please fix the maps and game modes.
