I’m going to start out by saying, as of right now I have only been playing the game for about a day. That being said this is one of the best games I have ever played and I can not wait to see where it goes. I’m going to do a short list on what I think can be done to improve the game itself. Some of these things may not be able to be done, and if not, that’s fine. I just think they would help the game overall and they are things I think may bring in more people.
Suggestions:
- “Offline” play: Now, I say offline with this, but what I mean by that is a way for a player to jump into a game with just a couple friends (maybe some bots if y’all want to go that far) or just by themselves. I think this is something that will help the dedicated/competitive players a lot, along with letting people play with just a big group of friends.
- Weapon skins: The Loadout Cards are awesome, they give a great platform to be able to do some awesome looking weapon skins. I don’t know exactly how the loadout card system is set up, so if it is already like this, please forgive me. What I would like to see is a set amount of cards, say… each merc gets 20 cards, a couple for each rarity, maybe 1 for cobalt. Each of the cards has set augments and set weapons (with a skin). The higher the rarity, the better the skins look. Now, the reason I suggest set cards, instead of random, Is it makes the cards feel a little more exciting, instead of feeling like a gear grind to get the best stats. This would also provide a chance for seasonal card packs, naming the cards and setting up trading and Steam Marketplace.
- “Inspect” button: This kind of goes along with the weapon skin idea. When you have an awesome looking loadout, your going to want to check it out in game. This button (if you have not played Counter Strike) basically just makes the character hold the weapon up and move it around like they are… well, inspecting it. This feature is awesome for showing off and it just makes you feel so much better about yourself.
Now that I’m done with those suggestions, I want to go ahead and praise the devs for a min. So once again I’ll make a quick list.
Great Features (please don’t change):
- Business model: This is one of, if not the best business models I have ever seen in a game. Please do not change a thing about it (except for if you wanted to do seasonal loadout cards like I suggested above, I will pay for those… only cosmetics though). The team that came up with this, please pat yourselves on the back!
- Gameplay: The gameplay in this mixes the fast paced fun of COD and other action shooters with the tactical gameplay of Counter Strike so seamlessly. It truly feels like a game in a class all to itself.
- Aiming!: The aiming system in this game is amazing. The fact that I have iron sights for long range shots but I don’t have to (or want to) use them in close ranged combat is perfect. Personally, I think one of the biggest downfalls of CS is no iron sights and one of the biggest downfalls of COD/BF is the complete reliance on iron sights. This game completely throws those out the window. Gameplay team, you are amazing for this.
- Art: Well this kind of speaks for itself, the game is beautiful. Please keep it up!
Ok, so I know this was kind of long, and I apologize for that but I feel pretty strongly that this game has a lot of potential. Hopefully this gets seen by some of the devs and maybe implement at least on of these ideas. If you have and problems with what I have said or just think they are good ideas, please comment, I want to see what everyone else thinks. Thanks for reading 
Also, I will probably make a video version of this (along with a review) soon. I will post them in the comments below when they are done.
