My first online match. I only got about ten minutes of playtime before I had to do other stuff, but initial impression is that it's pretty awesome but suffers from the most retarded player base I've ever seen.
I was expecting a DotA style match-up and not standard FPS servers, I'm kind of disappointed that people are expected to come and go during games but really it just makes it easier to not take a round too seriously. Back to the bad player base. I know pubbies always suck otherwise they'd have people to play with, but this was my first online game after one practice round with the sniper offline. I come in to my team being dominated (enemy sniper gunned me down shortly after leaving spawn for the first time before I even got a round off) and by the time I left I was at the top of the scoreboard and we were pushing their money ball. Now, that may seem like bragging but most of you here have played TF2 with me and know I am really not very good at online shooters.
Juice is insane. I didn't think much of it as a sniper since I figured it just made my one-two hit kills into insta-kills, but each of the three times I got it (in ten minutes) I was able to run in with the SMG and take out any enemy bot or player I saw, including a tank / assault combo 2v1 with no bots around.
Anyway, I've seen people on every night which is why I got the thing, so I'll wait until after a Bronto match to see how much of it is ridiculously bad players and how much is just ridiculousness of the game itself.
