Ok so let’s get the big glaring issue most are fixated on out the room, Merge or Non Merge I couldn’t care less about it. I was too new to the old system to truly appreciate it, and the merge hit too soon after starting for me to have a bad opinion on it.
There are However some MAJOR points that are ruining the game.
- Reversed maps.
Whomever decided this would be a good idea should be made to play them solo for the rest of their life. Let’s not get caught up on historical accuracy, I treat these as a “What if”, and it’s pretty cool for it.
HOWEVER, and that’s a big however. The allies defending on Normandy is a typical of example of how this has not been thought through properly.
First of all, the Allies are being pushed back to the beach from in land which I suppose theoretically was possible. What has not been thought about is the spawning and Grey zones. Because the Axis Grey zone is so close to the Allied defend objective, Almost all but the few on the objective itself are in the Axis Grey zone. This leads to a situation where Tigers and Panthers are firing out of the grey zone impervious to attack from infantry or as required been flanked by Allied Tanks.
And the Balance Due to this is destroyed, We end up with a situation of Allies not being able to destroy the Axis Tanks and rally Points. Because they are all for the most Part in the grey zone. Don’t get me started on the Map design been backwards too. Choke points not a thing, and Allies standard spawn points are still on the Assault locations which leads to a massive time between reinforcements which the Axis don’t seem to encounter.
- Map rotation.
For the love of all that is holy open all the maps to the appropriate nations regardless of the BR. What you have done here is restrict content, content that could be a massive selling point to new players, Like storming the beaches at Normandy to high BR. New players are now not seeing anything but the same map rotation over and over until they increase BR, ACROSS ALL NATIONS.
There is every chance people will try the game and get bored and leave if playing Allies for example because all they will see is either Pacific or Tunisia, OVER and OVER again. Many will not even know if they increase their BR they will get other theaters of war. Let’s face it, people play games, they don’t read forums and stuff like that. They will leave thinking they had some fun, but ultimately they are bored of the few maps they saw.
- Battle rating
WTF! sorry but I had to say that. BR 1 (new players) face off against BR 2 and BR 3. Are you right in your heads?
BR 1 should only face BR 1, Who cares if its mostly Bots or not, let the new players stomp them and feel good doing it. They will level quite quick and get into BR 2 pretty soon.
BR 2 should only Face BR 2 and BR 3. Leave the new players alone and give the BR 2 a bigger challenge but nor a out and out arse whooping.
BR3 again should only encounter BR 2, BR 3 or BR 4. Don’t chuck them in with BR 5, Guys with squads still mostly using Bolt actions playing against entire squads of pre merge long term players with every type of automatic weapon are just cannon fodder.
BR 4 Again BR 3 or BR 5 see above for similar reasoning.
BR 5 shall only fight BR 4 or BR 5, if you don’t understand why, I suggest you look up the term “Seal Clubbing”.
This is my first, and shall be my last post here, If there are no steps towards resolving these issues by the time my Premium Time (27 days) runs out it shall be Adios from me to this Game.
