Well, at least there's more colour options than WFC. Still not thrilled about them being presets, but at least they seem more vivid.

 

True, but you can always use two of the three slots to make characters specifically for use with each faction.

 

That's kind of a waste of slots isn't it? I just prefer to think of my characters as positive universe/shattered glass versions of each other.

 

I still think they should have taken a page out of Halo's book for colour customization. Give everyone the complete set of colour options (no restrictions or presets), then just use use specific team colours for stuff like Team Deathmatch or CTF.

 

This would be a good idea if there was a game type which allowed you to play in the colours that you have chosen (like rumble pit where it's all against all) but since there are only two game types (TDM and Conquest and these would both require teams and team colours) it would be pointless to customise the colour of ur character in the menus when you won't even see them in multiplayer matches.

But if there were an "all on all" game type, I would totally agree with you

 

There are more game types than tdm and conquest you know  

 

There is more than just TDM & Conquest, that was just what was shown at comic-con.

 

I don't see why they wouldn't have an FFA gametype, considering there was one in both WFC and DOTM.

 

I prefer to use the colors that I choose on every mode.

 

cause no-one played it?  

 

new screens from the MP trailer.

Things we know now.

You start off with one decpticon armor set and one Autobot armor set. there are shown to be 8 option. 6 of which are unlocked but need credits to buy. There however looks to be more since the slider isn't all the way down.

Which are

Infiltrator - Bumblebee and Breakdown. Cliffjumpers head is also available.
Destroyer - Swindle and Prime
Scientist - Jetfire and Starscream
Titan - Megatron and Warpath

You unlock stuff my priming also.

 

I hope they've found a decent compromise between WFC and DOTM leveling if stuff is Prime restricted. WFC was so painfully slow I don't think I ever bothered getting a single class to higher than 15 or so and DOTM you could max out all 4 classes in an afternoon.

I can almost guarantee that whatever the options are that remain locked until you go Prime will be absolutely everywhere. Like the Katana in Halo 3, except it won't make you look like an idiot.

 

DOTM was so easy to level up, it does take awhile to get to level 25 in WFC, but did you ever play when they had double xp weekends? Made it much easier to level up, I unlocked prime mode a long time ago, I just started playing again and I have most of the classes by level 20

 

I never played DOTM but I didn't think WFC was that bad. I have 3 out of 4 maxed on Prime and I never played many double xp weekends. The stuff you unlock will be an incentive now to play it and level up even more.

Also one thing I notice is that jets have different coloured streams behind them , wonder if this is to do with colour selection or chassis

 

Nope, never had time to play during the bonus XP weekends. Tried once but after 8 games where the host quit and ended the match I was done attempting it.

DOTM was the entire other end of the spectrum. It was far too easy to max out your class in a handful of games. I only had a few hours to play on release day but by the time I was done playing for the day both Leader and Soldier were already at level 20.

As you say, it'll be nice to have an incentive to level up this time. I'd hardly consider a little icon next to my name as reason enough to sink so much time into it.

 

that would be under decal

or did i misunderstand?

 

Didnt high moon patch WFC so we get more XP now?

 

I think so yes, i'm not sure if it's x2 or x5 xp amount given at the end of a match but it is more than the standard as you can rank up fairly quickly. (Which i'm still trying to do before FOC is released)

 

thats a good shout actually

 

How are the teams going to work ? Is it still autobots vs decepticons ? I'm confused because their isn't separate fractions but you can change the insignia ? Can someone please explain.
