heh, the thing is i've been playing the game pretty much all day for the past 48 hours. Thanks to mid semester break.
As you level classes up, the synergy goes up to phenomenal levels, i've been maining a medic and you pretty much need to run 2 - 4 characters to level up all classes. Levels cap at 20 and that's 20 skill points. Out of 20 you need 18 to max the general abilities and the class abilities. Dumping a few points here and there.
I finally got some damn use out of the bots by constantly pumping thier health. A medic can revive, heal, self heal, buff health, buff health regen, buff speed, his level 20 skill is an AOE grenade to heal teammates. I stay with the squad and keep pumping health and reviving constantly. This is how i've been able to ensure that my bots outlast enemy bots. Similarily other classes have extreme utility. Every class has use and purpose in a map, soldiers are the demolitions experts with immense crowd control skills and tanking ability. Operatives are provide recon, intel, hack enemy equipment and can capture command nodes, hackers can also install firewalls on defending objectives to increase capture time for enemies. Engineers can provide turrets, repair, set mines and boost the buffs of command nodes, they also provide kevlar and increase gun damage buffs for allies.
The more i play, the more i love. Nothing more satisfying than knowing your constant support helped achieve mission success. Plus the abilities are mapped to directional buttons and can be executed seamlessly without breaking momentum or causing pauses. This truly enables people to keep using thier skills in the middle of fights, not to mention the smart movement allows traversal on maps in ways that no place is truly locked or camped out.
The game has amazing potential if the netcode is stable and i'm pretty sure that it'll develop a cult following, alot of people on forums really love the game. This should keep the KDR, run and gun Abuses will lead to bans from COD away, considering that kills are of no consequence in the game. I only kill enemies that i come across on the way to objectives, i have so far never bothered going around looking for enemies to get kills, it gives shit XP and destroys the game.
