Intro

After a 2 week stint with this game, I went through a plethora of emotions. The initial excitement with the thought of pwning n00bs, the confusion due to no tutorial for the Match Types, to the utter frustration of having to keep running all the way from the spawn point every time I died (which seemed to be every 20 seconds). I was in for an experience.

Breakdown

From the title screen you are given a choice of 3 teams you can side with. This will be your team until you’re able to max out your character, so choose wisely. Once you have selected your team, you choose the look of your character. I unfortunately clicked “Create Character” thinking I was able to customize a character, which was not the case, and was stuck with a default look. No biggie though. I mean, who really cares what their character looks like? *Cough* me *Cough*

Now that you have your team and character, it’s time for boot camp. Here you learn the basics; walk, run, crouch, crawl, aim, fire, ect. This was the only glimpse of a tutorial you will receive, because it is up to you to figure out how each Match Type works. Have fun with that!

You first have to prove your worth as you fight your own teammates is a “deathmatch” style map.   After earning enough points you begin to unlock the different Game Types. The only one I really understood was Sabotage, where attackers were to secure 2 locations   ( A & B ) at the same time to get to the main objective ( C ), while Defenders…. um defended them.

The other games were so confusing that after 3 failed attempts as to what I was supposed to do, I gave up on them and went back to playing Sabotage.

Final Thought

Prepare to die quickly & often at first. Push through that frustration though because once you begin to unlock your perks              the game begins to get entertaining.

I recommend unlocking the new Health Injector (2 unlock points) and the ability to Resurrect (2 unlock points) first. This will allow you to bring fallen teammates back to life, which will make you and your squad mates time a whole lot more enjoyable.

This game REQUIRES you to play as a team and communication is a key factor in being victorious. I strongly suggest buying a headset. You will thank me later!
