Veterans Online - Open Beta

Was anticipating this game for more than a year and I am quite disappointed. First the game has a very steep learning curve, bullet's are too slow, enemies are too fast.. you'd either have to invest a lot of hours to at least be able to play the game the way it was designed to be, or you can just spray and pray. This causes almost no issues if everyone is new to the game but that's not the case, the game developers/designers who are clearly used to the game mechanics are joining the matches and that messes with the balance of the team. Playing vs a team where an opposite team player can single handedly shift the tide of the game which makes newbies feel helpless, no matter what they do, they cannot make a difference in the game. Sure some of the players might say that this is a competitive game and it should be as such because they are willing to invest a lot of time playing it , but in my opinion, there's a design issue here. Every single competitive multiplayer game provide a "noob's advantage", Weapons that decent players complain about but it is what makes newbies make a difference. Think of drones in COD, Master Yi in league of legends, shotguns in Krunker and almost any other shooter game. Or atleast a tutorial, players vs AI that could make the game more enjoyable for newbies as they get familiar with the game mechanics. Bottom line, the game at it's current state is not for casual gamers, if you're not willing to invest alot of time playing it, I do not recommend it for you.

Ok so I played few hours this game and this are my thoughts after playing +/- 50 matches. Positives: -Game does have quite good optimalization which makes playing quite fluid(with some hiccups from time to time) -With at least solid team u can play this game and enjoy yourself with battles -Hiding places in form of long grass like in LoL does add quite interesting pace for the game(Which wouldn't work quite well if game was FPS/TPS instead) Negatives: -As I mentioned in possitives game give quite fun if team does have your back in battlefield however lack of playerbase does makes all this modes quite frustrating when u finds out that randomly formed teams go against pre-launcher formed teams which give them huge advantage over random's -Unbalanced prices for weapons like Rocket Launcher and 0-Sniper especially when requirements for this two weapons Rewards are demanding when duration of matches is only 10 min and on field there are 2 team with 5 players in each team -Lack of choice when comes to weapon's, after few matches only few weapons does have any real use in field when others usually are either too expensive or unpractical/situational when comes to real combat -Lack of Tutorial/Practice Field for players to test game/new mechanics before even going to Multipalyer matches -Game contain 3 modes with 1 different map for each of the mode which is nice but all this game modes are only for Teams and game lacks modes for solo players where would matters only skill of each player not skills of the player to play together as team -Lack of game mode choosing when comes to Quick Entering makes game annoying at some point when u want to play specific game mode only. -Any form of Trolling/Teamkilling/AFKing aren't punishable or at least punishment isn't high enough to even care like killing own team mate since that only cost u 50 gold but still your team mate will lose everything what he bought which means that u can even kill him and steal his weapon which will be more profitable than buying it yourself. -Some buttons when u play on keyboard are impossible to rebind to other action's which limits your way of playing the game -Some Achievements/Rewards which you can find in game are like this game was treated not as a Tactical Shooter but more like a MOBA which makes some of this requirements to Rewards unreasonable -Win Scores are too low which turn most matches from 10 min into 2-3 mins and that amount of time does allow to enjoy yourself too much with game Game does have potential but lack of many features, and treating game as MOBA makes game a lot less enjoyable and force me to give game 2/5 for now.

servers is not open :/

Unluckily servers seem permanently down. The real pity is that you can do nothing without servers. Nor a tutorial. Nor a training with bot. Nothing which could give you an idea of the gameplay. So it's even a waste to download to give a try. You'll just get a "Master server offline" sentence on your monitor.

Так долго ждали эту игру , я даже в армии успел отслужить. Надеюсь сегодня поиграем уже !

Is this a dead game ?

[b]I've been playing this game since late beta and heres why its one of the best in my opinion: [/b] [list] [*]Its not pay to win and will never be. [*]Can be played either competitively or casually and both are fun. [*]Can be played in different play styles depending on your preference. [*]has one of the friendliest communities out there. [*]Playing customs with friends is super fun. [*]Devs are super friendly and care about the community. [*]The cosmetics are so good. [/list] Cons: [olist] [*]A tutorial should be added for new players (probably there will be one in the next patch). [*]Of course there are some bugs here and there like every other game but i'm sure those will be fixed. [/olist] Veterans has just been released. It's really fun and unique in my opinion and i can really see it grow and be one of the best games out there.
