Let me preface by saying that I have some fun in Firestorm ( even more now that I got the opportunity to play with
SpoonSpatula, finaly giving me and my friend an out of that shitty matchmaking when 2 players try to play squad and never find squadmates ) and that I'm not a big Apex player ( probably less than 10 hours in it ) but I can really only say that while I still love battlefield gunplay
far more than Apex's; almost everything in the game makes Firestorm a frustrating experience in comparison.
- ping system is shit, which wouldn't be
too much of a problem if duo and trio was a thing at all time, since voice chat can
somewhat compensate, but that's not the case.
- lack of revives + no shield when downed mean that getting downed almost always mean the game is finished for you, if you play with random ? just leave and play a new round, no problem. If you play with a premade and died at the start of the game ? spend the next 5 to 20 minutes watching your friends play,
so much fun.
- more ammo on the map,
please
- I love shotgun in conquest, but god are they bad in firestorm, making a 6th of the game loot worthless; rebalance that like yesterday please
- as I said, some of the loot is worthless, you lack ammo, and to add to the pain, you might be unable to get a weapon or ammo on an ennemy you killed because of the shitty loot system where multiple item are stacked on each other
All of this can, and might, be patched, but how long will it take ? it's supposed to occupy me for the next 2 months given their current roadmap, yet it's in no state to do that.
