The lack of double jump, weapon pick-ups off of dead players and the new color choosing system are driving me nuts.

 

No double jump? Seriously?

 

People who are complaining about loss of double jump...

The new maps are designed for the single jump.

 

And vehicles.

As a Jet, can you actually get to the top of the Array?

 

Really?

I can't count how many times I've tried to jump on a crate but been thwarted by my tiny legs and single jump. In WFC, I would have jumped on a crate, dashed through a window and stolen a kill, now I have to drive around half a building to get where I need to be.

 

That is because high moons didnt want you to jump onto the crate (for whatever reason)

 

Eh, that sucks. I would think that scouts and scientists would at least have it, so the bigger bots couldn't exploit it. Since the smaller ones makes more sense having it. Or at least add it as a perk or ability so people could choose to give up their power for a double jump jet.

 

My only con so far is host migration, it takes FOREVER.

 

Especially when it happens 3 or 4 times a match.

 

No weapon drop from dead body can prevent a scientist fooling around with a sniper rifle...

 

Can you invite people in the demo?

 

Yes, but only while you're in a game. Not in the lobbies.

 

Looks like I can't invite my friends then.

 

Just go in a game. Pause it. Go down to the friends option and press the invite button.

 

No double jump... I cant get over that, thats such a stupid design move. And the vehicle ability thing is also a real bummer.

 

It was strategically implemented to counter hopping leaders or anyone in general who hops which is stupid.

 

They would be in a different team though, and if they were in my team the first time they get invited then there would be a high chance that they could switch teams in the next game.

 

From the email I sent to [email protected]:

Pros:

• Campaign missions are a lot of fun, the Vortex one especially. I've never played as a Combaticon before so it felt new and surreal.
• Updated graphics. Everything looks and feels more real.
• Customization is semi-incredible. I love how the parts you select for robot mode effect how your vehicle mode looks. Very impressive. I'll get more into customization with the cons, though.

Cons:

• Multiplayer classes are MASSIVELY imbalanced.
• Why no double jump? It was essential in WFC and could be useful here too. Same could be said for vehicle mode abilities.
• The color presets in customization are still pathetic. I would much rather pick colors for individual parts oppose to a certain design for the whole thing.
• I almost never run. It feels weird and unnecessary at times. I prefer either having or not having the dash ability like in WFC.
• Host migration takes forever and rarely doesn't work.
• There's still a balancing issue. Today I was in a match with 3 Autobots and 6 Decepticons. If a couple people leave the match the other team is screwed.
• The whirlwind ability needs to be nerfed. In WFC you could escape it if you double jumped backwards. Here, once you get hit you're already fucking dead. More evidence the Titan class is good for nothing but meleeing, thus is SUPERBLY overpowered in that area. Hell, I can't kill shit in tank mode. So what's the point of even having an alt mode? I'm better off just walking around meleeing people just like infiltrators are better off running around shooting people with shotguns.

You can but not in a private lobby.

 

Pros
sprint and dash ability for all classes
only one ability
scout (infiltrator) and scientist have same amount of health
no war cry
no map glitches so far
in-depth character customizer
switch weapon hand
weapon upgrade system
powerups like energon regenerator and power core
Cons
no energon repair ray
vehicles dont handle as smoothly (might just be me)
some weapons are just perks or abilities manifested in weapons such as the energon harvester or the orbital pistol.
not enough color options for customization, would prefer color palette like in WFC
no "in general"perks for classes like flak armor or boosted health regen rate
would prefer health system from WFC
energon shields too weak
hit detection system non effective
no vehicle form abilities so far (they may have them disabled for the demo only)
red glare of low health or ammo very irritating

now comparing the lists it would seem im dissatisfied with FoC, but the more i play the game, the more the changes are beginning to make sense (except for the orbital pistol and energon harvester, should have just brought back health matrix for scout -_-) otherwise i hope they increase the level cap on the demo so i can at least use that slime cannon or gear shredder.
