This game was a favorite of many players. Including me.

This game started strong and is receiving updates at a fast rate. However, are all of them good? No, it's more like the opposite. Recent updates have made very OP and unrealistic scenario's. Such as the armor. Even if your carrying a shield, a sniper shooting you in the head should hurt. Yet a bow does more damage?

He focuses more on adding new content while fixing the old ones. However I'll agree he made the Uber Vip Gatling Gun much more balanced, and snipers alike. But what about the new-found armor? Or the M249-Flame with an overloaded capacity, accuracy and damage to spare. It'd be a lot more fair if it shot marshmallows. He needs to really fix this, instead of keeping his "loyal" players, (the ones who spent long enough to get the OP weapons), busy with new guns, he should nerf their's and say ruin a bit of their fun for an overall more enjoyable experience for all.

What I'm trying to say here is, if you want your game to be successful, with everyone playing it. Imagine it if it were like that. With every update to the game, think of how a gun or sword, or any weapon alike could be overpowered. Is it's capacity too large? Maybe make it shoot faster but do less damage then. Is it too damaging, simply change that. Is it too accurate? Maybe make the sights a little more 'prone to recoil'.

Take in all accounts when your updating. Make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Dark886, and developers alike.

You should message the creator (If you haven't already) as you seem to have honest concerns for the game's popularity. And as a game developer that relies heavily on player feedback, personaly I'd be a fool not to listen to this.

Well said.

I agree. one day I'm killing everyone fairly easily, then after I don't play roblox for a few months, I find I can't kill anyone because of the new gear.

I find the updates are making sure the people who have always played are invincible, while new players can't get a single kill to get to their level, partially because the veteran players are taking all the kills, and partially because the poeple who they DON'T kill are only the ones capable of one shotting you

I can't message him he has it disabled. If anyone's his best friend or something, please message this to him.

@bob

It's still possible. I got 200 kills a few days ago after deleting all my KOs. You can always get some kills, but if your expecting to raid a base and get a capture... Fat chance.

I think spawnkilling isn't the problem here. You can easily kill any spawnkillers in the given FF period. That is... Unless... It's the armor!

I always hated base wars because of the fact that, new players can't get kills whilst veteran players always spawnkill you.

I think that isn't true.

The m16 is so overpowered for a beginner weapon, it is possible to take down a normal (unshielded) armour suit with it if you take the guy by surprise. At ~40 ko's the DK heavy machine gun can take down most people easily.

Eh, base wars fails due to lag and inefficient scripting and development.

And that, too.
Also, I wouldn't call it 'ingenious'.

It was just an FPS with vehicles, and bases, VERY creatively named 'BASE WAR'

I dont like the GUI design, all the colors dont fit together and hurt my eyes o,e

And the stoopid zoom doesnt work because my mouse moves in 5 degree steps (y roblox y D:), but i guess it isnt important enough to fix that... (might add more bugs)

He could improve the vehicles though, they feel like those reeeeally old hopperbin-driven vehicles... o,e

It looks like a huge free model dropoff zone. Hopefully an adequate game is going to kick it off the front page.

Haha, I agree completely, the GUI's aren't that great, and it's hard to snipe their base from yours, unless you jump. The vehicles could use some work, but still I can't help but find this old FPS addictive.

1. Needs a graphical update.

2. The gameplay is terrible, unoriginal, and boring!

3. It's impossible to win, you can only spawnkill. -_-
