Well looks like it's exactly what i thought it was going to be Tabula Rasa and WoWs bastard child. The AI is nice, looks like an FPS style game with the AI that actually reacts. The combat is pathetic though, have they not played Tabula Rasa and seen how much the combat failed, auto-aim has totally destroyed this game for me. You can sit behind cover turn on auto aim and then walk away for 10 minutes come back and your target will be dead. The monsters will be overly easy like they were in Tabula Rasa leaving you with the feeling of wow, how the hell did they conquer earth/planet/base since you'll roll in like some kind of Chuck Norris on steroids. With no body part specific targeting this is just another MMORPG to add to the festering pile of crap it can keep AoC company i suppose. I was hoping for something a little bit more than just point and click WoW combat except it takes place over 25 meters instead of face to face (preferably  a first person shooter).

Yeah well, it's not an FPS and never tried to be.  Sorry, it's just probably not going to be a game for you.

This isn't the game you are looking for... move along, move along...

I like it so far but i would reserve judgment when i see the final product.

I like the non-twitch system so I don't have to actully aim with the mouse.

I think breaking away from the tank, healer, dps paradiagm is good. The question is whether they can make it deep and involved.

QFT right there. Wait and see the final product before judging. People want to play a good sci-fi game so I am sure there is alot of interest here.

I watched the Stargate Combat video, and I like the progress with the A.I.

I don't want a MMOFPS, that is more first person shooter like MMO's. If I want to play a First Person Shooter, there are plenty of good ones that exist already, and lots more in development.

 

AoC sort of went for that feel with the push up down left to attack / block combat. I wasn't interested in that, because it just seems like console button mashing to me.

I like the direction the Stargate combat is taking, with more reaction from MObs. They don't just stand there, they try to flank you, take over your cover, rush you, etc. It's an improvement.

I'm not sure about the "cover" thing, and I don't know how you could translate this to melee combat, but at least the Mobs don't stand there like moles waiting to be whacked.

Id go so far as to say if you enjoy your mobs trying to hunt you down like a player would, why not just play ffa pvp on any game server? /shrug thats exactly what it looked like to me just not as well but hey its only ai.

Have to try it before I can make an informed decision.
