I was super addicted to playing it for the first few days. Everybody was on a level playing field. But now you'll find yourself playing games against super upgraded people with multiple 100k unlocks and you just get shut down. It's kind of depressing. And just like in Allegiance you'll have teams that just run in circles or go fight in the middle and you find yourself having to do everything to try to get a win.

My advice is to spend some money on the game so that you can at least get the permanent 50% xp bonus. Otherwise, prepare to grind some losses so that you can try to get on a level playing field.

I'm on the verge of buying like 10$ worth of upgrade stuff for the game. On one hand I really like the game and really love that they are doing something that in this day and age is original (read: not modern warfare/bf 20). On the other hand i dont want to be a bitch and get all this sweet gear I didnt earn :P

I'll probably end up dropping some $$ to unlock some classes, although I'm having a blast with pathfinder and getting pretty good with it

Yeah, I already see people w/ totally upgraded characters just murdering... I don't like this platform for gaming =/ You shouldn't be able to have a better chance at winning because you spend more money than the last person. It takes the fun out of it. I'm not gonna pay any $$$ just cause I don't want to support this hyper-@#(!ty "microtransaction" model.

So I mortared my way to doombringer. Class is pretty hillarious on low skill servers, but decent players run circles around me :(

Also, are you sure those arent 10k upgrades and not 100k? My class was 14k and I dont think they go for much more than that.

edit: Oh wow, it is 100k for the other weapons. At least you can play other classest cheaply?

Must have had beginners luck last night cause I did not do well today. Mayhaps I will just stick to D 100%, cause I sure as @#(! can't get the flag. I'll grab it and then the entirety of the enemy team pulls of trick shots and obliterates you and/or insta-kills you the second you make the grab. Yes, I know, you need to get speed up and have a route planned etc. etc., but it's freakin' hard.
