Let me start off saying that my expectations where not to high for this game. I've read some peoples beta experinces and some painted a negative picture about this game. Yet I decided to give this game a shot inorder to get my own perspective. So I picked it up the other day since I had time to spare.
Well lets say I started playing around 4:00pm PST and ended up playing untill 12:00am PST ! This game truely is a fun alternative to the dominate fantasy sword, magic and elves genre in MMORPGs. The combat can be very fast and very fun. The game enviroment like buildings, barrels, fences, and other things are totally destructable which is fun ! Watching a oil barrel blow up while a group infantry is standing next to it is fun !
The game's leveling system is geared toward completing missions. You can gain XP by grinding off mobs but it's just faster to level up via missions. There are lots of classes to choose from and the spec system reminds of Diablo 2 but you can spec anywhere in a spec tree without having to unlock lower level skills from what I have been told and seen.
Now the crafting system is another area that shines because it has a deep crafting system and you gain crafting gear via salavage from dead enemies. Crafting allows you to make your own weapons, armor, tires, etc.... I've haven't tried the PvP system since I have not competed in PvP Arenas ( ala Guild Wars ) but I am sure it should be fun. Also the game has a built in voice chat for groups which is great ! For those of you who are shy, or who have high pitch voices....Yes you can use text chat in groups but why ?? Overall this game is fun...fun....fun ! Auto Assault is a great alternative to other styles of MMORPG's as I've stated above.
