    Going along the lines of what I said last night and playing more of the game since my list of thoughts are:

    Energy, I understand to make money you need to sell cells but the default way of waiting 12 hours for only 3 games worth of power is rather slow to the point of is it worth my time to play 3 matches a night and then close the app? having an attractive way to keep players hooked needs to be looked into. My earlier suggestion was to find power cells in matches but as a super rare only, so free players would only get enough cells for a paying match after quite a few rounds. Hopefully that would also keep people's hunger for buying cells for that faster boost.

    Maps are great, that one red map with the berserk shield at each end is rather broken though, you get too many choke points in the middle and the shield is rather overpowered in close quaters as the person using one can not be hurt and get an instant kill by running into someone.

    Seeing a slightly bigger map made for sniping and long range weapons would be a nice extra, so many people use the shotgun right now that it's becoming rather dull seeing everyone use it, maybe throwing in a long range map would then make people have to use another gun or wish they took that plasma gun instead of a shottie.

    Having a connection drop moments into a fight only to lose energy is annoying, I read what was said about being unable to tell how people drop and making sure people do not abuse the system but maybe if a quit or disconnect happens only seconds into a game, the power is not lost? if that is possible at least if someone does drop in the first few seconds it should not effect the match outcome, dunno.

    Being able to turn off that aiming momentum would be great, today I was testing out tapping the screen and just a tiny tap was making my cross hair fly off to the right even without sliding my thumb. It has been useful for turning corners and looking around but when in a firefight it can sometimes mean I overlook my opponent or unable to get a good line of sight with my gun before I fire, you know when you are behind someone and they don't know you are there ready to shoot them in the head :p

    Movement analog stick seems to require too much screen space, I don't have huge thumbs but I am swallowing up a lot of the screen just trying to run forward or strafe. It would be nice to see a smaller stick option or digital dpad input (for movement only, not aiming)

    Sometimes the iTunes in-game window will not open and be stuck on a spinning star * but I could easily blame that on my new router, but the game plays online no problem.

    being able to somehow friend request someone from the end match leaderboard would be nice, someone in this thread suggested it earlier and it sounds like a nice idea.

    Hopefully that feedback is useful, sorry if any of it sounds personal or greedy but it's just my thoughts on the game so far.

    powercells should be free, they're too expensive for my taste

    If only Ngmoco shared the same taste as you.

    Here's my suggestion:

    A new mode called GRUDGE MATCH. Basically Plus+ tracks the id of the player who you've killed the most and who has killed you the most. When you enter a match it checks these and if a pair is found these players enter the grudge match. It is just a secondary objective within the normal deathmatch. All you have to do is out-kill the opponent but kills of that player are the only ones that count. Maybe an incentive like a free energised match or credit multiplier for grudge match kills would be extra cool.

    What do you guys think?

    for every1 speaking out against the current grouping system, vote in my poll HERE

    if we get enough votes, then surely ngmoco will see that changes need to be made.

    It's people like you that ruin app's ratings. Why in the world would ngmoco them powercells free? Ngmoco is trying to make money, this is their job. Honestly of you oont have a thought out reasonable suggestion then just shut it. I'm tired of seeing stupid comments and suggestions that don't correlate with the current games design or company.

    Yeah i suggested that earlier and pmed Allen at ngmoco about that. I know from a dev perspective that might be really hard because think about it: they use the plus+ system, and you have to hit plus+ just to add friends so I guess they would have to put a button next to a players name after the match, you tap it and it would have to launch the plus+ system. The plus+ system would then have to put that player's id into that search engine for you and you would prolly still have to hit search to find them and then manually add them. Sounds like a lot of work for a small feature
