Quick & Constructive Feedback on S3 so far: It's ok. 5/10
The good:
- Map size. A big improvement (literally), however we should've had more of this from the start. The rest of the game feels too small. (Remember, big doesn't mean badly designed or empty).
- Dagger skins in Battlepass. This is a good idea, as new squads and characters should always be in the passes, not shop bundles.
- Airspace. Feels bigger but again, lots of work to do for the rest of the game.
- Music. The S3 theme and the overall compositions are shining through, very well done there.
- Some new weapons accessed earlier on in the pass. For example, the new sniper. This is good.
The bad:
- Team Balancing. I've played 13 matches of the Golmud mix, and so far each and every one has been a big loss. The teams are still very unbalanced.
- Unrealistic gun and skin designs. While there's some big improvements with Stryx and some new S3 skins for weapons and characters, there's still lots of wacky decals that are overpriced and too colourful.
- Jet & anti air balance. The planes have more focus this time, but still have no loadouts and die extremely quickly, added to by matchmaking. There's no modes to train, or focus on aircraft exclusively.
- Vehicle updates. Have they been updated? They still die very quick and still snipe from afar. I thought we were getting a focus on more frontline tank based balancing?
- The store. Very overpriced skins, bundles with items we don't want, such as AI stickers or backgrounds. What if we just want skins? At least Fortnite offers variety. Some are more than the entire pass. The whole store and the way items are priced and bundled needs addressing. This is also an issue with the battlepass. There's lots of "filler" rubbish thrown in. We want to earn skins and weapons primarily. The little extras don't feel they are worth the effort.
Netcode still feels off, as does footstep audio. Again, it's an ok update, but when S3 sits next to the rest of the game, it still feels a bit flat, as we needed more sooner. Hopefully in time this will change?
