I have a love/hate relationship with it. Some of the avatars are really impressively rendered (I particularly like the Samurai and Raven characters) and I found the Star Wars sub-season quite enjoyable. Having played a number of Jedi/Sith games over the years, I positively
rocked the lightsabers and force pushes.
The latest "jungle" biome is astoundingly cool to look at. You can tell a LOT of work went into building it, but I
greatly dislike being there. Too much environmental business going on - you'd think it would be great for tactical concealment, but not really, as there are "thermal" fish you can eat and other kinds of augments that allow others to see you clearly through the foliage (think Predator), defeating the tactical advantage. Plus the velociraptors and wasps running around everywhere piss me off.
The quests are an interesting way of coaxing players into exploring weapons and locations that they might not usually care about. However, on more than a dozen occasions, I was killed in the process of focusing on completing the quests requiring some crappy rifle or checking completion lists, despite being hidden, instead of focusing on making sure I wasn't getting ambushed.
The game itself is extremely glitchy and I'm pretty sure I've run into a number of players running cheat mods on PC's. I once hid in a bush near the end of a session and someone walked right in front of me - didn't even notice I was there. I unloaded my legendary auto shotgun point-blank right into their ass and
not one hit was registered. They spun around and took me out with a single shot of a sniper rifle and won the Victory Royale. I think I destroyed a controller that day.
I really honestly don't know whether or not to keep playing, but my wife and daughter are heavily into it, with a bunch of friends online, and it has become quite an effective family game-night kind of thing, so...
