Seen a lot of criticism, but for me the merge has done what it needed to. Every battle I’ve played since has been competitive. I get a variety of maps which is also refreshing! And the unlocks are fast, so grind is reduced - I unlocked a gun and a plane from scratch in like 4 or 5 games. The new perk system is also a big improvement.
Yes, there are bugs and quality of life improvements needed.
- weapon upgrade issues
- sorting and filtering for weapons etc
- unlocking vehicles without knowing which said can use them
- huge backlog of squads/soldiers/weapons needs tidying up somehow
- let me filter by battle rating for weapons etc
Only downside has been how long it took me to equip a set of squads - but it kind of adds another element to the game, just needs refining.
Just wish the menus were more refined so I could see what I have, who can use what, what rating it is, how to unlock upgrades, sort and filter more etc especially with weapons, add a search option, add a strip all squads/equipment option.
Please also let me leave squads empty - I don’t want to have soldiers in unused squads, I want to move to my general reserve list where I can see them all.
