Well someone pretty much paid for it for me, and at the checkout, it says I have 24 hours from the first time I join a game to return it if im not satisfied. I figured it was worth trying then...
Thoughts:
*Choppers are pretty damn OP still. A good pilot and gunner can and will own most everything
*Cars have less health than I remember in the 2nd beta
*There is no spawn protection. Half of my deaths are from joining someone who is taken out. The screen barely loads and you are down
*64 player maps are almost too chaotic. It seems like you spend more rounds to kill someone and take less to die, but 64 players seems to guarantee every time you aim at someone, someone is right behind you
*Driving is fun. It has a GTA sort of feel to it to cruise down the streets and look for anyone trying to hide behind cover
Overall, its a change from BF4. It's more fast paced than Im used to, and would like to get used to it some time... but I don't think it's the right time. There are a few issues I've noticed like a light box around a person's body, what i would imagine is their hit box, and not only is it not attractive, it makes me scratch my head at I die to a body shot, while my ankle is the only thing exposed. It's kind of fun, but I don't know that Im ready to stick with it and say its worth the money. I DID just get H1Z1, and another hearthstone Xpac is coming out soon. That and lets face it, it's fun to play with friends and clan mates, and there isn't a ton of interest at the moment.
End Decision - I'll probably return it tomorrow after I get home and play a round or two. It would take getting used to, and thats not bad, but it's not enough to make me really want it right now. My time would be better spent elsewhere for now.
********EDIT*********
No, i did NOT return the game, and I have to say I love hotwire. It's not a mode you worry about your KD at all, you do what you have to do control the nodes, and I love that. Sure people will camp it up, snipers and roadside traps ETC, but still, loads of fun!
