    Maybe Vortex since he's playable and Onslaught since he was playable last time.

    This is why I hate 4 people even though it allows for a well-balanced team. Most if not all Transformer teams are in fives.

    Nice. Sounds like they really overhauled Escalation. Hopefully these changes for the better will have people playing it longer. WFC's ended up being a flavor of the month deal.

    MAYBE this will get me to pick it up on release. Maybe. No co-op campaign is damn near a deal breaker for me :/

    BONER.

    By the way, I wasn't saying I didn't believe you, Galvatrino. I just didn't want to get excited for nothing.

    I don't know how this couldn't win Game of the Year.

    I absolutely despise the extreme shines and chrome. Everybody looks Neon, and Bumblebee looks green because he's too shiny. Like everybody else.

    It's like they just came out of the autoshop instead of a big explosion.

    I spy a Starscream statue. A gold one.

    Can someone give me a YT upload of it?

    EDIT: Daaaaaamn... that guy doesn't even know when he's being hit!!

    Aw, bother. For the first time in ages, I've actually have been disappointed by FOC news. The Ammo sounds annoying, the AI look like Frenzys and Knockouts and I'm uncertain about the health. I don't like the idea of having only three character to chose from either.

    I, personally, have never been bothered by the search for the last cloaker but I have heard others have been so I guess the indicator thing is good. I've always been indifferent about creating your own Transformer so playing actual characters in Escalation isn't good or bad to me. Although calling down Gunships could be fun.

    However, there was one definitely good thing. The Gear Shredder. I have been looking forwards to that weapon since it was first announced. I was uncertain about it but I was sure that if it was good, it would be my favorite. And it looks fun so it may become my favorite.

    I don't understand why this is suddenly an issue with folks now? WFC's Escalation was the exact same thing. Granted you had more characters to choose from, but still, you were stuck playing pre-selected TFs like Optimus or Megatron.

    They probably limited the waves to 15 because in WFC once people hit wave 50+ shit got funky and the damn game usually crashed around wave 70.
