several things about cov and this is from about 6 months of playing almost EVERY day.
1 the lack of more than 5 general areas, ok know this is gonna take time to build up and yes we getting grandville as another main area but even so you look at the variaty and number of places in coh in comparrison to cov and well erm...
also what's with the gloomy atmosphere all the time, when was last time you say a sun set etc in say nerva, etc, heard from a fair few players, cov always looks dirty dull etc, ok from playing on test servers and grandville least one ares dif, but well you can sorta see peeps point on this, and when say sun rise/set etc, try going talos coh way sometime and just wait and watch
you'll see exactly what i mean
2 cov is TOO EASY it's stupidly easy to solo on relentless, hell i've taken my stone stone brute up against purples and reds plenty of times and still do, k on some AV's you do need to team realy but others and most missions erm nope
which leads to 3
lack of teams, yes some team on regualr basis specialy good sg's and that's how it should be but drop in teams, sometimes you can be ther for ages on broadcast doing LFT and still not find any
which again goes back to how easy it is to solo
4 Maaster Mind AT soloing is stupidly over powered, it's too damn easy to solo specialy high lvl as in effect you got a 6 man team in a mission set for 1
5 Master mind players, no disrespect to the good ones, but some well they kinda need to learn NOT to block small doorways with their pets so the rest of teams when you on can ACTUALY GET THROUGH, i've lost traack of the amount of times i've had to force my way ( and thats a very very slow pace indead) through a masterminds pets jsut to get into a fight
to point where i'm seriously considering not playing along side ANY master mind players i haven't teamed with before, wouldn't be so bad if players were able to force their way through a lot more easily but way it is now sometimes a team wipe out can occure cause the brutes and stalkers cant get through fast enough, and as for setup times DONT even get me started on that it's a pain in the (well, you know) only thing in cox that takes longer setup time wise is a dev blaster setting up a small mine field lol and yes know with issue 7 some of the setup time has been reduced, wether it's enough erm well i'll be waiting to see :/
6 a lot of the cov maps are just same as the old coh maps, just reused, only ones even really dif is one of the first snake missions, can't remember which but at least the graphics are a bit better on the cave textures but end of day a LOT of the maps jsut rehash's of the old coh maps, and experianced players of coh can take an educated guess as to where to find the boss, grab the item, find the "kidnap victim" etc etc BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
speaking of maps THE OE MAPS I DESPISE LIKE HELL personaly and think i speak for most of the cov players here is the anarc- maps aka lag maps fr hell, HAVE suggested via petition of making the walls SOLID instead of mesh, cause when there is a lot going on during a mission lots of aoes attackes etc, doesn't matter WHAT system you got you get stuttering during the game play hell friend of mine has 2GB ddr 400 dual channel, duel sli linked nvidia 6800GTX (excuse me but isn't cov more optimised towards nvidia cards?) and a AMD X2 4200+ among other things and EVEN he gets the really bad slow down that most other players get as well, TRY REDUCING THE DETAIL ON THE MAPS FOR GOD SAKE
7 the constant bloody sg spamming in mercy on broadcast
ok it's not always the same person several mins in a row doing though that's been known to happen, and ask most experianced cov players and they'll tell you one thing that drives em nuts about mercy is the constant sg spamming WHY can't cryptic introduce a screen where SGs that ARE recruting wether new or existing can flag themselfs, and when players new or returning come into mercy they get a dialog box explaining breifly what SGs are and if the players decideds they are looking for a sg that it presents them with a list of SGs that are recruiting, amybe have it so that it auto invites if they select SG but DONT include the rankings in the top 100, that way at least some of the smaller and/or newer SGs get the chance to get new players into their SGs
sorry this posts so long but well thought it was time to put this up on the forums, bear in mind most of this is my persoanl opinions but chunks of it are things i've listened to other players complain about suggest etc, hoping that this thread brings more things out, that way amybe cryptic get a better feel for what upsets annoys players, maybe some new ideas on things, ot things that peeps might not have petitioned :?
so please DO NOT 1 flame me for this and 2 DO NOT attack me or other players that post in responce to it, end of day we all have our optinions and each persons entitled to them and it'll be interesting to see the responces
