FFoW PC - What is busted and needs fixing
I would like to hear from others on what is not working for them or what features are required for the PC version of FFoW or where balance changes need to take place.
I plan on making up a list and forwarding it to KAOS to make sure they know the issues that are concerning us.
I will be reserveing the first 3 posts so I can update what ever problems to the start of the thread. Please state any problems clearly and concisely and no flameing people in this thread.

Game Issues
First the ones that they are working we know of:
VoIP – This is a major one they said they are working on it already so no need to go in to detail.
Punk Buster: Clearly there needs to be some way to stop some of the cheating that has been going on.
Now for the ones that they have not said they are working on.
The game browser – The game browser needs to update, show games correctly not some made up numbers, there needs to be a way to stop the browser from searching for a game when the connection is failing currently the only way is to close the program through task manager.
If your leaving a game and you have the yes no leave stay box and a new round starts you get pulled back in to game with the yes no box on your screen but unable to click on either or do anything in game but bring up the score & suicide.
The anti-air vehicles don’t have there aiming reticules when you need to get in to them you need to click to the outside view to get it to show up, then you can change back in side.
There needs to be Joystick control, the box lists compatibly with XBox 360 controller but it does not work at all and there is no way to use any other controller. The controller needs to be selectable for some things and not for others IE: I would like to use a controller for air vehicles only.

Re: FFoW PC - What is busted and needs fixing
The 2 drone tech’s are not equal. The second and third level of the red star drones leave a lot to be desired. It can be nice to have an extra bit of anti-tank but the damage from the RC-car is sub standard for a second level unlock and the life of the rocket drone with the difficulty of firing the rockets make the red star drone tech less than desirable. I have only ever seen the rocket drone used well once and that was on the Xbox demo. The 2 later western collation drones are easy to use to great effect. As a guess most have seen their usage to great effect with little or no assistance. The Red start level 2/3 drones need to be up scaled or reskin the meshes from the WC drones and give them the same stats as the WC ones.
Air vehicles are too strong versus rockets. Versus someone that uses the flares you can go empty trying to kill them. Playing as red star I once started with full ammo and a sentry gun up I used up all my rockets and deployed a second sentry gun and did not down him and I had to get on a gattling gun to down him and that took a long time.

Re: FFoW PC - What is busted and needs fixing
See, this is what people on the KAOS forums don't get. The developers care. They want the information to make the game better and that is great. Now if we could just clone them so their workforce was much much bigger we would all get what we want soon (I couldn't help myself...if only Mitch were here
).

Re: FFoW PC - What is busted and needs fixing
I agree draeh..there are bugs and everyone is aware of them and no one is denying that they exist. I honestly believe that they will sort them out. This is a very cool game and when everything is smoothed out it will be even better.

Re: FFoW PC - What is busted and needs fixing
Server browser. Everything else is moot if you can't play the game 90% of the time. After that and most importantly for TG in game VOIP - relying on TS overlay lags my game.
Long Live the 2nd BCT and 1st MIP
