Get on over to https://www.combattesting.com/ and get your feedback in. That’s where the official feedback forum is.
The hover tanks are basically “light tanks” in today’s parlance – compared to the Tiger which is definitely a heavy tank. The lack of obsticle clearance is annoying, but you can strafe your way around heavier armed enemies which is quite cool. Just remember that mouse points the gun & WSAD steers independently.
I actually like the troop transport – I’ve been in a couple of games where the pilot has been zipping around the battle picking troops up & putting them down where the action is hottest. I know you can do the same with Blackhawks in BF2, but it hardly ever happens because (a) people can’t spawn directly into it – you can in 2142, (b) lack of speed makes you too vulnerable, (c) it’s harder to land.
I typically play engineer as his infantry gun is good, and the AT useful. I’ve got the EMP mine unlock but not had much chance to use it. I think where it will come in is in setting AT traps – tank goes over mine, shields down, you pop up from a hiding place and shoot with AT.
My initial impressions were like yours – I really thought I was going to hate this. But it has really grown on me this last week or so.
cant wait for some new maps, verdun is a quality first map, but i was looking at the review and video of Gibraltar, whereas Verdun is snowy, Gibraltar looks like it’s got sandstorms. Last night I started to really use the terrain to take down enemy waves, it’s at that cool point where I know enough of the hiding places and there are still enough noobs to ‘easy kill’ – some great places are in the ruins by the church for engineer, you can lay mines as the tanks come in. Heavy assault on top of those sentry outposts, great field of vision you can shoot at three flag points from the central one. And my personal fave, in the trees just north of the MEC spawn, if you have a sentry gun set it up it will pick them off the moment their pods land.
gonna get high and hammer those forums – cheers for the link bud, I looked in a few places but couldn’t find nuffin official. lovin this game.
