I am having literally so much fun. Here are thoughts.
Maps
Live Fire is a little too clean to be a military base, other than that its a fine map and as some interesting hot spots.
Recharge is perfect. I have no real feedback.
Have yet to play Bizarre so not input
Weapons - Only including those available in bot slayer
Melee lunge range is too big.
AR is perfect.
BR is perfect.
Sidekick is perfect. Literally the best pistol in the series as its actually a capable side weapon without being too powerful like 5 and CE.
Shotgun may want to have the spread tightened ever so slightly leaving room for a more tactical shotgun later with shorter range and wider spread.
Commando is a gun I struggle with personally. The recoil gets me every time. Miss the DMR so in my perfect world aiming down the sights is single shot with better accuracy.
Also struggle with the sniper but cant articulate why. My thing is that the bots are lasers and dont give much time for hard scoping so that could be it for me personally.
Skewer bolts should go until hitting a surface. Like bodies should be bolted on a wall. Maybe make the bolts explosive because the way it is right now is a not-so-good sniper rifle, granted we dont know how it plays against vehicles.
Plasma bolts need slowed down. Its almost instant when in past games you could dodge them at range.
Needler is a joy. A broken joy that should have the blamite be more visible mid flight and rate of fire slowed down.
Grav Hammer has a not so visible gravity wave which is hard to see on screen. In my perfect world, the gravity effects would be more noticeable/impactful. Maybe instead of a forward AOE on the swing, make a circle envelope that those who are not hit and die at least go up in the air? Something needs to be done to those in the zone if they are not taking a direct hit.
Plasma Carbine is odd as its a tracking br but not as good. To keep the tracking, maybe slow the bolts a little bit or spread the bolts distance in flight so maybe getting hit by 2/3 bolts.
Have not used ravenger* enough yet to form opinion.
Heatwave needs a damage buff but mechanically cool.
Grenades
All off them are cool
Equipment
Drop wall is cool, not sure if its perfect as is or if the thing should come online just slightly faster once deployed. Have not tried shooting a overcharged plasma bolt at it yet, but it should short it out if possible.
Grapple shot is perfect.
Sprint
Sprint in this game was always going to be a hot topic. Make it a tiny bit faster or in my perfect world have a fast sprint but upon exiting sprint a slower base speed for recovery
