This is my first console shooter since the original Halo.
I'm second to last every round -.-
But you know what, dare I say it this is the most fun I've had in years surpassing even PC shooters.
I might have to give EA more money and buy the PC version so my friends don't QQ
I haven't bothered with competitive multiplayer much on the PC and it shows. Aha. I've usually stuck to consoles for that, and TPS to boot! I'm a huge Gears fan. It's embarrassing how much time I've put into that series.
Though, this past December I built my first gaming PC in response to seeing what the twin consoles are bringing to the table.
I'm usually fine with m/kb in single player/co-op, but it's something completely different for me in multiplayer. My hands get all crazy lol. Though, I'm not going to take the easy way out and use a gamepad. I'm really trying to get used to this. It'll pay off in the end.
I have noticed a lot of improvement, especially after I got some unlocks/adjusted my sensitivity & the most important and best thing ever.. the Stryder titan. I've gotten games where I haven't died using that thing. It's good, but it's also fun as hell to use.
Though, I'm still getting used to things. Everything is so fast. Aha.
It's also nice to learn the maps a bit.
I hate that there aren't any options for private matches. Most multiplayer games I'll just walk through the maps to see everything. I have to learn everything on the fly here. That sucks.
I'm hoping this game keeps me entertained for the long haul. I'm interested in what they'll do for future content. I really, really hope it's more than just maps. This game seems pretty barebones and I want to see it really open up.
