How decent is this game if you compare it with other F2P games? Are the people who pay for things overpowered bigtime ala Tribes or did they balance it well enough?
Its less prone to the Pay To Win of Tribes but, for my money at least, its just
tedious. Endless slogs about the place and endless, tedious stalemates coupled with unsatisfying weapons, garbage vehicles and the slowest XP gain known to man.
I'd say give it a try - its free after all - but I certainly wont ever be installing it again.
First of all, everything in the game (correct me if I'm wrong)
can be accessed without using real money. There are no "super-weapons" that you can only get by paying. Generally though, people who have spent a lot of time on a specific server will have a lot of certs (the in-game money) and probably will have bought better weapons. Paying just speeds up the process. Also, all weapons have downsides when compared to others. There is no weapon that beats every other.
I
do agree with Howard about the long, endless battles lasting hours just for one area, but I like them. So I guess it's really just a matter of opinion. Hope this helped!
