See, while I am sure reviewers are fine for your average pub noobie who if they have the sense to actually get on a server (especially thanks to the broken autodownload thx!) just cry bs everytime they get killed and saying everyone is cheating, I think that if your going to review a game you should have more then just a basic grasp of it.
There is no chaingun, fine. Did the guy read the manual? Heh are the weapons even listed in the manual I guess is the question there since I havent read it but I think you get my point.
I dont think people who would get dominated online by anyone who has played more then just casually should make reviews especially concerning weapon balance and such.
Another review linked from planetquakes front page.
"with The Longest Yard - the most famous of the maps set in low-gravity space - becoming a benchmark for map design."
benchmark - something that serves as a standard by which others may be measured or judged.
Sorry but no. The Longest Yard is terrible. It was terrible in Q3, its terrible in Q4. Its only saving grace is that its forgiving for new players, you dont have to learn a layout because its just platforms in space...
It only serves as a benchmark for how to map for the lowest common denominator.
I want reviews from people who actually know the game on a high level, until then its pretty hard to take any review seriously.
