Hello all, I doubt you know me, and do not caare for it, however, I am a excessive FPS player, and have verious things to say, explain, and suggest for RC:F in it's current standalone Alpha phase.

Current Things I Think Are Missing:
1) Toggle ADS/Hold ADS options
Now, most people know, that in any fast paced bullet hell shooter, like RC:F, toggle ADS can be a absolute pain in the ass in close quarters. I agree! And to further this, the toggle ADS in this game, has gottan my ass killed more times than I ever care to count. As such, I think that a toggle/hold preference would be a very nice feature to the game in the overall long term of it, as this will make combat far more fluid, and weapons(such as LMGs and Sniper Rifles) far more usable.

2) Health Restoration
Now, most shooters, have a way to restore health, however, RC:F does not. "But, yes it does!": you're probabaly rambling. No, no it doesn't. Wasting currency that is already a pain in the ass grind to earn for medkits, is in my oppion, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Staying alive is a vital part of a shooter, and having a class that can deploy health, would vastly improove the game over all in things like TDM(exclude it in survival, or it'll never end), and conquest.

3) Honour Droprates
Their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Flat out. Maybe 30-60 for a match if you're top player for TDM and conquest, and MAYBE if you're lucky, 15-70 for winning a survival match. And to put this into perspective, the least a gun in the store costs, is 32,000. TO average the rate you'd need, you would have to play around nearly 10,000 matches to get what you need. I understand that it's probably like this because this was a facebook game taht's transitioning into a stand alone, but it's not okay to try and force the playbase to buy currency for anything of use. That kills a game fast, and it'll end up like certain other games(*cough* Warface, AVA, ect. *cough*). So I suggest to increase this substantialy. To around 150 for being top three on your team if you win, and 75 for top three for a lose. And in suvival perhaps 175 for winning, and reduce that by 25 for each place behind first you are(this being because Survival is far harder to win at).

4) No Anti-Hack Currently
As far as I've seen there's no anti hack, and people can use hall-hacks, and aimbot to their delight, and not even have to hide it(I've seen alot of it in this games first week already on Steam) and when a hack starts playing pepole start leaving fast. I suggest you guys look into Valve Anti Cheat quickly, and a way to activaly weed out hacks who are hiding on your game.

5) The Giant Graphic for Kills
That thing gets in the way alot for me. I often am fighting on the ground, kill a guy, and am killed from above, because the graphic blocks a pretty large portion og the upper screen.

If these things are implamented as a whole, I will be thrilled. but if things like 1,2,3,4 are implented at all, I'll be happy anyway, because it'll vastly improve overall enjoyablity of the game.


My current thoughts of the game, is that it's very fun, and very fast. Could use some optimizations, as FPS difference between Ultra and Lowest is about 4 frames on a number of machines me and friends have tested, which goes to say it's poorly optimized in many ways, nonetheless even on a toaster, you will easily get 19-34 FPS after the game finishes it's background downloading, which I'd like to say I'm not a fan of, the game should update before launching, and through steam so your ping doesn't spike, and your fps doesn't ♥♥♥♥ itself.

Anyway, this conludes my rantish thoughts of this game! Hope you enjoyed reading, this has been BlueDarterz! GLHF and kick some ass!!!

Before you read this, let me say I only have 6 hours on this account because I have two, and I played TF for about 27.8 hours on my alt, and a total of 31 hours all in all.

Alright, so, big thing if you plan on trying this game: IT IS FREE! However, it's quite hard(in my case as I'm a tact player) to get used to it's fast paced combat and it's insane antics. It makes COD and the BF series look like tact. shooters in comparison.

Now the list:
Pros:
1) as usual, it's F2P, free to play.
2)Great for the COD player who wants to up they reaction time for those bunnies!
3)The game is very intense in those moment where you actually last a whole map, which even for pro players I've seen is quite hard to do.

Cons:
1)Too fast. The game's average round is about three minutes, in which people get insane streaks of about 16+ most of the time.
2)No team work what so ever, unless your in a TS/Mumble/Vent channel with the players there.
3)Spies. :| Don't get me started on these guys. One shotting everything, with items that let them go invisible for unlimited amounts of time. In most cases of which, the players has payed about $20 to get said items, and simply troll kills with it. Or run straight to spawn and does the stupid cloak, kill, re-cloak, repeat!


In short, this game from me, get about a 47 out of 100. It's a good game to play to kill time, but it's a pain when you encounter those annoying walls of spy. Anyone who decides to play this: it's a very raging game.

Ghost Recon Phantoms, or GRP for short, is by far, not the greatest tachital shooter, not because of it's game play, not because it's machenics, but because of some of it's players. I'll into a little detail, and explain some of the things in my mind, are it's pros, and it's cons:


Cons:

1) As with every free online multi-player stype game, comes the micro tranactions, and it's transactors, the people who do nothing but spend spend spend on it.

2) The Pay-For-A-Winners. As with any game that has micro transactions, and has a real currency to IG currency, come the people who horde massive amounts of this such currency, by buying upserd amounts of it. This in my mind is a con, for people and bypass the hard work players like myself go through to earn GC to get good weapons, and still be able to survive life.

3) The occasional lag spike. As with any online shooter, comes those dredded moments, were players who don't uyse top 'o the line PCs encounter the dealy spike 'o de lag. There rare, but when they happen, they absulutely bite. If your using a very low grade PC, stop reading this, as it may have trouble playing.

4) Glitches and Hackers. As with any game, GRP has it's share of glitches. Grated there aren't many, but their there. Same goes for hacker. With any online shooter, there's gonna be a few, but UbiSoft, and the GR team tend to sniff them out pretty quickly, so don't let them hamper your game, just try to wreck 'em!

Pros:

1) Earnable GC Events. With GRP, comes the wonderful ability to grind for the R2IG currency in the game, known as GC, through three monthly goals known as events. These events could be anything. From a target score for that month, to reach so many kills/kill-assists, or to capture so many CP, they can be anything. These make it nice for folks who can't afford to pay for the R2IG currency of GRP.

2) Excellent Players. This game has it immense share of players who will help you with any issues you encounter in the game, and they will most often not complain about explaining the issue. From the clans out there, to the players who refuse to join one, there are incredible folks out there in this game.

3)Free To Play vs Pay To Win. There's no argument from me that this game is one hundred percent, NOT P2W. YOu can earn anything in game with time. Anyone who thinks this game is P2W has only been playing a few hours, or are too lazy to try and earn GC. But even so, there will always be people who will argue I'm wrong. It doesn't matter it's not P2W in my eyes.


So, I hope dearly that this reveiw helped you, the reader, to decide wheather you'll try the game or not. But hey, who am I to change your mind? Play the game! See what you think!
