since were technically on CU31 now I figured I should just review this already
lets just get it out of the way
this update sucks
I still think operations are ass and basically everything newly added in this update was cosmetics
don't get me wrong the cosmetics (besides the chimera ones) are god damn fantastic
My personal favorites is obv the mark iv core and armor
but also the classic AR and the banished themed armor and weapon models
but cosmetics are still cosmetics
not to mention most of this shit was in the store and heavily overpriced instead of what could have easily been a $10 battle pass
but yeah gameplay wise the only things this update added was a kinda new mode, 1 new dev map and 2 new forge made dev maps (well at the time of writing this Corrosion actually isn't out yet)
I mean yeah that 1 new dev map aka illusion is great
and they did also overhaul a few playlist to add in some more community forge maps
but thats just my biggest issue with this game right now
the community is doing all the work
and im not trying to discredit the devs hard work
I do think CU31 was a pretty cool update
and im not trying to discredit the community forgers either
their maps are amazing and deserve to be in official matchmaking
but again
the only things gameplay wise added this update that were dev made was
1 new dev map
2 new dev made forge maps
and a kinda new mode
and im gonna be honest
the kinda new mode aka Gruntpocalypse im pretty sure could have been made in custom games
its also not that fun
and the forge made dev maps?
im sorry they look like ass
especially when compared to community made forge maps
now sure looks aren't everything
the most important thing is how they play
Elevation for example was praised on how it plays because of its fun little low grav area/gimmick
kinda reminded me of a reach map
but still a kinda mid dev made forge map being the only thing cyber showdown 3 added gameplay wise while the shop was filled with a insane amount of newly added, kinda ugly and heavily overpriced cosmetics
like I think you get the point
that fucking sucks
which reminds me
quick rundown of the operations
spirit of fire was cool
cyber showdown 3 sucked
yappening 2 is alright
nothing about any of these is really that special however and they seriously don't feel like events
maybe yappening kinda does since it has the new firefight mode
but all of these really just feel like shop updates
huge downgrade from season 5
