I think someone hasn't played ZOE2.Kaijima said:Lost Planet still has, IMHO, by far the best mech modeling, animation, physics, and most importantly, /gameplay/ of any mecha title of the last decade. Maybe ever. Yes, it isn't the "Virtua Mech Sim" in terms of detail that most games with mechs go for. But damn it, it /really/ achieves the feeling of being in a mecha-enhanced universe without being bogged down by how the mechs work.

Aaron said:So I'm the only person on the board who springed for the new map pack? It's pretty great and well worth the money. The 8-bit map is the best, a retro maze with teleporters all over the place and so many close quarters gun fights. Fugitive would be excellent on it, but I haven't done that yet. Ruins is okay. One starting position seems to be a lot better than the other. I've played both sides and the difference was pretty striking. Ice Drop is another great map though. Two very different starting positions again, but they feel fairly balanced once you know the layout.
Are the other map packs any good? I'm thinking of springing for them just to have more to play, but there's plenty of games going on here, 24 hours a day. Plenty of chances to get my ass royaly kicked.

I play this pretty often online. Ranked matches I get rocked, with player matches I do pretty well. ARGH! I want to level up my guy and get new outfits, but everybody else is just too damn good.
Yep. If you want to win, be on the side with the Japanese players. Going against them is suicide. They're just vicious. Playing randoms is pretty mixed for me, though I've done pretty well on Lost Tech and Ice Drop. Doubt I'll ever play Ruins again unless they do something to rebalance it. The blue spawn is seriously terrible.Apharmd Battler said:ESPECIALLY the Japanese players!! They rule at this game and their team play would put most special forces units to shame. Even though many pan this game, because it sold so well it has a HUGE online community. You can always find a good game.
