Love the game so far. It’s showing real promise especially as its beta and we’re only playing with half the stuff. Okay pat on the back Splash Damage as I’m an ex ET and RTCW player who was lost to the dark Battlefield side and now I’ve seen the light. However, I need to get a few things off my chest, the games got so much potential but for the love of god please consider a few things:-
Lack of Stopwatach Servers
This has been stated a gazillion times but seriously, why did you change this to 2 servers per region? I don’t want to play objective yet I’m forced to due to a lack of servers. Spin up a few more blades or whatever, this should be Dirty Bombs default fecking mode. Sort it ta.
Merc / Loadout screen
I like the merc/ loadout card sytem, but I agree it could do with a few changes especially for competetive play. What really annoys me is that I chose a merc for a game and I’m stuck with that one gun all game, no chance of changing. In other games you can change weapons on the fly. My suggestion is that it’s just a 'Merc Lock in ’ during the choosing map screen. I understand the need to limit the mercs which is fine but why not let people change loadout cards for said mercs during the game on the fly? I may have taken an mg into the game as proxy but then realised its all close quaters fighting and want to change to shotgun. at least consider it as being stuck to the same weapon for two rounds of stopwatch is well, annoying.
Arty, needs a proper machine gun and other improvments
Arty’s fun to play but he’s seriously underpowered. His single shot/burst fire rifles are well, just ok. The single shot one is a actually a lot of fun now that it’s had it’s recent buff but there’s times where I just want to go normal semi auto like I can on every other merc but I can’t (unless I’m mistaken). Half the reason people don’t play this merc is not due to his ability but the weapons he uses. Speaking of his ability, Don’t buff the cool down, buff the speed it takes to use it or reduce the delay while getting hit.
Fragger Needs a health reduction
At the moment everyone knows Fragger is a bit OP and I know a lot of the mercs that counter him aren’t in the game yet but that doesn’t change the fact the he needs nerfing in the short term as he is just to good at the moment and it’s not very fun facing him . People have been mentioning a change to his grenades or other things but i think as a temp measure until all the other mercs are added a health reduction of 10 or 20 would be a nice start.
Mounted MG weapon Sounds
Non existent half the time. I keel over dead in a second or two and then look to find I’ve been mounted MG’d. It’s a hefty mounted weapon. Make it sound hefty. Make it sound so that if you’re getting hit by it you know your getting hit by it.
No Seperate ADS/Scope Sensitivity
Basic thing, especially for snipers. Can this be implemented asap.
Cheater Configs
What year are we in? I thought it was 2015 but judging by all the whingebags on here we’re back in 2001. I understand a game has minimum pc specs. Hell I build a pc to meet or superceed those specs (hello star citizen). I’ve been around a long time with numerous pc builds and I understand when I look at game specs if my machine doesn’t meet those specs then it’s tough luck. I 've spent many months saving for upgrades. What I don’t accept is people using blatent cheating configs that remove branches/foliage/smoke etc all in the aid of ‘MAX FPS’. Why do those configs need a ‘bright skins’ setting? Thats not speeding anything up, thats just trying to gain an advantage. I picture the poor new player who joins trainyard and he pops out of the ammo room by the trainyard bridge door and he wonders why the mounted mg in the other ammo room is shooting at him as if he sees him clear as day, well that’s because even though new player sees a big tree in the way with lots of leaves mr config changer mg gunner does see him clear as day with a bright skin on top. Thats not fair and it forces everyone to play with the config if they don’t want to be at a disadvantage. A low gfx setting should be applied where no map/scenery changes are affected and no bright skins. All other config adjustments should be banned. Then the game is still fair.
Change CrossHair Colour/ UI Improvements
More options for the crosshair please. Changing the colour would be nice. Also give us the option in game to change things around in the UI. At the moment people can do things with new configs and that’s my point, it’s not a level playing field. Put this stuff in the game options and it’s a different ball game, everyone can do it/knows about it so it’s all good. I for one would like the mini map a bit bigger and the spawn timer somewhere more noticable. But, that’s just me 
Increase The Player pool
Enough said, More people needed for match making 
, plus more options maybe ‘best of 3 or 5 games’ with teams staying conected during the whole game and not having to find a new game after each round.
Okay there’s tons more stuff I’m sure I’ll remember after this but I just want to shoot more peeps which is a good sign. So I’ll end this mini rant here. Grats again Splash Damage, the core game is shaping up great and with a few tweaks it will be amazing (rankings, drafting, more maps, more gametypes, and a few of the above mentioned issues sorted) Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
