I have a roommate, not the one mentioned in earlier post, that works at Gamestop. He came home and downloaded and started playing a game that interested me the other day. When he got it, it was an exclusive demo. Now it is free public on XBox marketplace I believe. He is a big fan of transformers. It is a transformers game. It stuck me as relevant to these forums because it is made by Activision on the Unreal Engine, and plays similarly to MNC and CoD. From what I seen, it is Call of Duty game modes like team deathmatch and domination, MNC controls, Call of Duty weapon applications, MNC class types, and a mix of tactics from both (you can combine skills to melt faces in the parlaments of your time, but you can also be effective lone-wolfing from different angles) Also, stealth, turret, mortar cannons, deploy shields, meleeing, small fast guys and big guys with high health... Worth a try for anyone here. Better than Smite, I don't put down other games because I want to defend this ones, I put them down because garbage people are lemmings who will ride bandwagon appeal right off a jagged cliff. I am sure everyone has seen the youtube video. Post if you check it out, with what you think. I think I will check it out more outside of watching my roommie play it. NO I AM NOT QUITTING DAMN YOU. Those guys with those posts are derps, same lemmings as the Smite ones. I am capable of admiring two games seperate if they are both good.
Re: Transformers: Whatever the Hell the New Game is... War for Cybertron was fantastic, already prepurchased Fall of Cybertron. :3 Though I have no interest in the multiplayer portion.
Re: Transformers: Whatever the Hell the New Game is... So far I like the game. I play the cannoneer pretty much. The level cap of the beta should raise Aug. 10th. More upgrades to earn. I should play a lot more of the others, but it is a habit. For instance, I never play spark or vet.
Re: Transformers: Whatever the Hell the New Game is... War For Cybertron was an awesome game..i have played that tow times..
Re: Transformers: Whatever the Hell the New Game is... They were both given great reviews as games. They are very respected. Activision took the first one not seriously enough and caught a lot of player hate for it. The second one they are giving a lot of respect. It is a well made game. My favorite thing as a SMNC player, is being able to change hands you hold your weapon with. You can always choose right-hand-advantage or left-hand-advantage depending on which one helps you, and you can choose tactical positions based on them. In SMNC, you only have right hand advantage, and Uber simply designs maps to give you opportunities everywhere to achieve the advantage yourself, even on the opposite side of the map. As such, I find on Transformers that I tend to force myself to look for right hand advantage, when the developers didn't design it into the game. It takes me a split moment to remember to switch hands and hug the other wall/cover instead. Sort of a habit I can't break, as it is much better to be able to choose which cover you want without it being unsuitable only based on which side of it is open to shoot from. Uber would earn respect if they added it to the engine update. Though SMNC might be simple if just left alone in that area...
It’s basically a cross between a driving game and a shooter. They did a really good job of making the weapons feel powerful. I like that all the characters have a dash ability, it makes moving around feel less clunky. It’s fun to play but the graphic for multiplayer are pretty crappy.
I have been playing it because it feels similar to SMNC. For instance... Here is a Fatassin build: -Titan = Slow and Big, but high hp and damage, and even though all melee attacks are roughly the same between classes, most people like the feel of the melee attack on the titan -Corrosive Slime Cannon = Does novelty damage, but hurls acid at the enemy for really low damage but slows enemy and splashes. This acts as the Vet Klaw, being an initiator. Bigger splash perk is useful for slowing a group of enemies for the kill. Longer lasting slow also works, guranteeing the target will never outlive the slowing effects long enough to escape. -Energon Harvester = It has short range, but is a life-sucking shotgun. Since you are already always in range anyway, it helps maintain your health between a corrosion hit and a melee chasedown. Increasing it's range lets you use it as your longest ranged weapon for when you want to hold back and reheal instead. Increasing it's healing effects lets you soak tons of damage while staying in fighting distance instead of hiding. -Whirlwind = Allows you to do a sustained spinning melee attack. When an enemy has been slowed, they can't escape this. However, a melee beating between slowing/healing shots can take any single enemy out. This is to finish off a larger group that you have managed to slow, killing them all at once. Faster movement speed during whirl isnt so necesary against an enemy under a slow effect, but the decreased damage recieved or the increased damage dealt are both good perks. -Melee = Beat enemies with your kick between shots of slow and shots of heal. They can't escape while slowed, so pummel them with your foot while using dashes to stay with them or dodge around them. Vehicle Weapon = A tank cannon that fires tank shells. If you are with a team, fighting an enemy group, help out with tank shells until you can get an opportunity to hit with a slow and charge in with melee attacks. Also good for finishing off an enemy who flew high enough up out of range for melee attacks but is still slowed. Good against cluster pyling enemies who all try to 5v1 enemies, as well as solo enemies. BEST against scientist and infiltrator classes, as catching them in a slow ensures they can't use a poof move, like changing into jet and up-up-and-away, or blind-and-flee. BAD against destroyers, as all titan classes are really, as they can do high burst damage in close and far range often enough to kill before approached. If desired, just slow and escape instead of slow and chase, or trade shots with tank rounds.
I primed a while ago. JW if anyone else did. The dinosaur pack makes the heads look awesome, as well as making-sense when you transform into a robot. Now I just need to get prime 25, and buy the insect pack.
