So, the wife and I are only level 4's but so far this game isn't doing anything for me. It's exactly like the Alpha/Beta. It's RPG Halo. Everything from the music to the weapons, to the characters, to the environments.
Granted I think we've only really explored Old Russia by why is it that all the areas look identical? You get a mission, you go into a derelict building, you look for a boss type enemy, you kill it and then you head back to that citadel place. All of the buildings you go into look the same.
Handle mentioned this to me and I definitely agree, why is the "loot" so difficult to see?
I was also confused as to why we were doing a level 4 mission and then get a prompt that there is an optional mission/objective to complete. We had to eliminate a target. We find him and he's a level 8? Our puny weapons wouldn't do jack shit to the dude. Then he runs away and gradually hits invisible "checkpoints" until he hits the last one and the mission is over? Wtf? Why are higher level instances like that popping up when we're on such a lower leveled mission. We also had another level 4 mission that required us to scan a few areas for intel. It seemed each area we were supposed to scan was swarming with enemies much higher level than we are. One of the areas had some kind of giant Hell beast thing that had pinpoint accuracy and was shooting us with laser beams from across the map. Am I missing something?
While we were playing yesterday I got booted but I hear the servers are pretty fucked and that happens pretty frequently.
The game seems competent enough and I hope it starts to ramp up.I'm just not seeing what all the hype was about. It's not grabbing me so far like a game like Borderlands does/did. It actually reminds me a ton of Diablo 3. It's so "meh".
