![]() ![]() * Role Playing Game Wannabe First Person Shooter (RPGWFPS) I frankly don’t know what it is, but i have some suggestions: This unlock nightmare was the reason why some people had sniper rifles which killed in 1 hit, why some people had armor which made your sniper rifle useless and why they could mock you by sprinting faster, having more ammo, carrying more grenades, and by having globally increased damage, less recoil spread for when they needed to own up multiple “noobs” (you) with a spray and pray (not so much in their case), better zoom with scopes, ability to detect movement, revive dead allies and why I suddenly could not care less about the game. Perhaps you can be supportive? Give ammo? Heal? Repair? Well… You must first unlock that, but while you are waiting for that people will scream at you for not giving them ammo, healing them or repairing their vehicles, and to top it all off, you will be labeled a noob and an idiot. Perhaps if you ran up to them and tried to blow them up with C4? Well, It also happens that some players had an unlock that detected you and your C4’s on their radar for this specific problem! So you are standing there, wondering what you can do to gain that unlock progression. The reason why some player’s vehicles had more health, more weapons, higher damage than your vehicle of the same model as well as faster reload times and – heck why not? – smoke defenses!… Ok, so their vehicles were superior. Suddenly everything made sense, the “+experience” notifications for killing enemies, the unlock progress, the lack of a repair tool for the engineer, why some people ran around with homing missile launchers and the reason why your chopper did not have the flares to counter them. I remembered a button I had seen during level loading… unlock progress? At first I convinced myself I must have misunderstood, but then I saw it again and I had to resort to making myself not believe it – “maybe it was just some side-thing for people who care about useless achievements…” – It wasn’t.Ī small portion of what is unlockable, click the image for more. Teammates killed us for no apparent reason, calling us idiots – for as far as we knew – just playing the game. Something was amiss, and I had felt it for a while. At first it was even more fun than last time, but then, a creeping feeling of horror came bubbling through the cracks. The next day I went back for another 2 hours. I wanted to go back and play again… I even found myself pondering if it would be worth getting the game myself. I felt like I had missed a great leap in gaming, and that next-gen games had something to offer. ![]() Ignoring my worries, I left the session with a sense of discovery. I convinced myself I had probably missed something. I had noted some strange things such as not being able to find the repair or healing items for the engineer or medic classes, nor being able to restock on ammo anywhere. The squad system was better and facilitated me and my 2 friends’ desire to play together… The vehicles felt better, the guns felt better. It was more fun, better looking, more engrossing and more balanced than all of the previous games. It brought back a large portion of the joy i had felt while playing the older games in the series, such as codename eagle, 1942, vietnam, and battlefield 2. Two days ago I played about 1.5 hours of multiplayer Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at an internet café with 2 friends. ![]()
