It’s almost no fun playing single player. Firstly, the terrain generation always gives the bot almost no land elevation, so any stars or other digger weapons just hit the bounds and explode. Secondly, the difficulty is basically “odds the AI will have perfect aim no matter where you are, or just miss a shot”. You try to move, you get hit. You launch a wall, the AI perfectly aims 2 pixels above it. You finally have the bot dialed in, they use evac. I’ve had this game downloaded on my phone forever, hoping one day it will get the last push of improvement it needs.

The game itself is awesome and plays just like it used to 20 years ago. The AI is pinpoint at anting about mid-level difficulty, so I thought I’d play against real people for a more balanced experience. Online play is terrible, flat out. There is no time limit to fire, so you never know if they just quit as soon you land a hit (seems pretty common) or if they are aiming. There needs like a 60 or 90 second time out before it just fires the current settings, or forfeits you for inactivity. There’s no need to have every match end on the second rally because the enemy hasn’t done anything for literally 10 minutes. Frustrating, and the online menu navigation isn’t the most clear either. Please, add a time out or kick for idle activity feature, and then this will be an awesome experience again since the game itself is great.

Harder to dial in or zero in on opponents than it used to be. My main gripe is that I’m tired of upgrading (purchasing) new weapons packs and getting multiple duplicate weapons in the picking phase before each game. Sometimes I’ll get 3 to 4 of the same weapon. It’s bull crap. I’m paying extra to get to use the different weapons and I get tons of duplicates every game. Should just let you pick them straight up. And for god’s sake integrate a text or chat feature between players.
