This game is buggy. It suffers from intermittent server
crashes. This means that none of your efforts for that
round are recorded or credited. You can imagine how
frustrating it is playing flatout for 45 mins to get a
gold medal and the server crashes a couple of minutes
before the end of the round. Guess what bud, none of it
is counted.
The game also crashes you right back to the desktop
intermittently straight after you waste all that time
loading the map.
There are also people who cheat who can soak up
amazing amounts of damage, see through walls and get 1
shot kills with weapons that need 3 or 4 shots to the
head to kill.
It wouldnt be so bad if there was a good single player
option, but the bots are dumb and the maps are small.
You can not even practice the jets in single player. So
you are stuck with multiplayer.
The commander option sounds good on paper but it only
goes to the highest ranked player who opts for it, so
dont expect to command for a long time. Then if you
do everyone abuses you cause you dont know what you are
doing, and they vote to kick you out.
Oh, and good luck earning points because if the above
is not bad enough all the ranked servers are friendly
fire enabled. This means you lose 2 points for killing
someone on your team and 1 point for damaging them or
their vehicle. This would be fair enough but the person
who you kill has the option of "PUNISHING" you and you
lose an extra 6 points making it a total of 8 for each
costly mistake and on public servers EVERYONE PUNISHES
!! So if you hit a fully loaded vehicle and it blows up
you can automatically lose 18 POINTS !! Which is a
ridiculous amount for one mistake. Especially when you
might average 10 points a round on some maps when your
starting out. If you get to many punishes you get
kicked from the server. Punishing ultimately negates
the effectiveness of mines and c4, they just are not
worth the risk. Which otherwise would be a fun part of
the game, but if players see a red x where you have
layed a mine they nearly always run over it so they can
punish you in case you have a better score then they do.
If you try and fly a plane , players jump in front of
you when you take off so they can punish you, kill some
one with a grenade by mistake and they will punish you.
I have even seen players blow up planes on the same team
just out of spite cause they are not the ones flying.
So in short save yourself the frustration of banging
your head against the wall and the abuse from strangers
when you dont do what they want you to and stay well
away from this game until theses issues are addressed. I
know I will be.
