War For Cybertron Game Review

I keep forgetting about the class powers... Also the perks system, I only just realised I had levelled up my scout to use the first one...

With the unreliable online access, I've now been having more fun with the 'single player' version of Escalation. (select 'host game' and select 'friends only', and you can start Escalation with one player - every other version of Escalation requires 2 or more)
It's a lot more difficult, with the enemy all coming at the one player, but it lets me get experiance with the characters and maps for when I then play with others. (it also finally improves my ranking... if that even counts for anything)

Had an AWESOME time owning NOOBS yesterday. Absolutely annihilated the other team. I'm sad coz my 25:1 score happened right at the end, freaking soldier class whirlwind.

I haven't tried playing this online yet... still trying to finish the single player campaign first.

The most addicting thing with online play is the bot customisation. Every time you level up there's something you unlock to tailor your bot to your playing style. Keep plugging away at that single player GOK and get those reflexes up to cat speed.

Owning Noobs is no victory, just depletes the player pool.

But at least people are playing that is good.

<---I is a gaming noob. I can guarantee if I ever join an online game I would get my arse handed back to me something chronic!

Bit harsh mate. And no rules are bent or broken so yes, it is a victory.

Yeah but it's a game and it's nice to give novices more of a sporting chance to play. Some games have a handicap setting to cater for this (e.g. Street Fighter). There are other ways experienced players can handicap themselves, e.g. intentionally using low powered or melee weapons, intentionally moving out of cover etc.

One thing that frustrates me as a noob is when I join a game and I constantly get pwned. The games just not fun for me cos it's like - spawn - get killed - respawn - get killed - respawn - get killed... ad infinitum. Being constant cannon fodder isn't fun, so eventually I give up on playing and I never improve. Sometimes when I play Star Wars Miniatures against a noob I'll intentionally do things to give them an advantage over me (e.g. field a weak team, never combine fire, move out into the open etc.). Cos yeah... if I ever try to play this game online, and all that happens to me is that I get constantly hammered... then I'm just never going to play the multiplayer mode again.

A friend of mine that is has an unhealthy fixation with internet memes once said a wise thing to me.
