NDA has lifted so we can talk about our impressions of the multiplayer.
Personally, I think the presentation and UI is poor. It feels so old. Some sites have been comparing the graphics to Crysis which I think is a joke.
Have to admit though, the first half hour of playing I just thought the game was poor, especially when there are many other similar games that do a better job, but then I did spend 4 hours playing it last night and started to really enjoy it.
Although it's an arcade style shooter, running out in the open isn't a good idea. It seems to be more about camping in a set position and waiting for people to come past.
PROS: Weapon buying and upgrading
Trainyard map is a great design - loads of places to hide behind, sniper positions.
I like the weather and the visual impact of when a breeze passes through the trainyard.
CONS: Awful sound. Guns sound like pea-shooters and re-loading sounds don't seem to be in-synch
Not so easy to differentiate between your own team and the other team.
Factory map is annoying because of spawn camping. I couldn't even move for 15 mins because the opposition are just sitting round the base. I hear they might be adding invincibility for a short amount of time after spawning.
Animations - Jerky and flickering when you die.
Nothing really new.
Not sure at this point whether I'd buy it. I'd like to see more maps first.
