2nd Chance Didn't Deliver
I initially backed away because of the crazy wave of players running cheats, already had to deal with that in COD. But, after seeing all of the moves being made to try and mitigate the hacks. I figured I would give it a 2nd chance. For a few weeks, I could actually see a difference in the game, regarding the number of obvious cheat users. And, I don't call "cheat" just because I get slimed. I take the time to check in game stats, watch players movement and reaction to their surroundings, especially while I'm down. I always request revive to give me more time to spectate. And, I am an equal opportunity reporter, if I see a strong indication of a cheater on my own team, I report them. But, it seems like a huge new wave of cowards have infested the game. And with that on top of the ridiculous hit reg model, the completely counterintuitive nerfs or buffs that weapons suffer when adding attachments, the wildly inaccurate weapon damage modelling, SMGs being better for long range engagement than flipping sniper rifles, the issue causing countless perfectly placed rounds to completely ghost through players bodies as if they weren't there, the moronic spotting feature that renders any type of tactical covert movement or equipment absolutely USELESS. I mean what kind of challenge do you face when you look toward the enemy team, and see red billboards popping up over top of essentially every player? Not to mention when you post up in a sniper nest, fire one suppressed round, and suddenly you have every enemy player, tank, bradley, airframe, etc., sending firepower to your exact point! And, that's even if you have managed to make it to that location without the enemy paying attention to the RED GIANT star over your head, screaming....."HEY I'M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WITHOUT THE ENEMY NOTICING ME.....HERE I AM........SHOOT HERE!!!!". I just can't do the mix of super inconsistent modelling along with the now growing again, cheat users. I'm a casual player, so I don't do the whole "sweat" hopping around, moon walking, ballet dancing thing (which is one reason I call bulls**t on the fact that we were lied too about, play your way, where you could literally play with all bots and still earn progression, that was one of the major selling points for me, very dirty). I had to call it, and cancel my EA play pro membership. I really hope they get back on the right track. And maybe this time next year, the game will be a more enjoyable experience for players. But right now, imo I think they're heading down the path of failure. Judging by a lot of posts, I'm far from being the only one who feels that way. A lot of you paid a lot of money for this game, so make them deliver on the product they sold you.
