I'm sure they have the features set for 1.1, and its just being developed and they're waiting a bit to push it out.
Last time they "fixed" the matchmaking system it broke completely. I can't even jump on anymore without being matched with people way above or way below me in both level and skill. I don't mind playing with higher level players, but I don't want to be "that guy" who constantly wipes the floor with a bunch of low level players.
I think that right now they'll focus on the balance of the game. Guns, matchmaking, credits etc. Then once they get this stuff down so that it appeases most people, they will add more things. I think they'll start with skins followed with more armor and guns. Eventually new maps as weel as new powerups to go with those maps. And if there's a demand big enough for it, other gametypes. The reason I see them not having a CTF is b/c this is a pick and play. As a sole user of iPhone, i only pick this up because I know the matches won't go over 5 min. Other gametypes will increase playtime and it's up to ngmoco to decide whether or not they want to go that route.
They have to keep people interested, so they probably are working hard at coming up with alternate options. This has to be more profitable then the Rolando stuff
I'm 100% sure they're working on it. Matchmaking isn't a simple thing. You have to matchmake to get people close enough in skill level to make the game fun, but not easy. You have to matchmake so that queue times don't get too long (parameters are too tight on the matchmaking), and you have to matchmake to adapt for the upper 5% of players or w/e that don't have that many others to match with.
omg guys, I scored six kills on real racer (level 30 something) and bat outa hell (only 22 -_-). Bat won 10 -6 (me)- 5 (RR)
What if they changed it so you have given gear and you can find other gear in the maps along with powerups so the game actually takes some skill and not just having the best gear... like cod on iphone
Berseker? Damage amplifier? Health bonuses up to 175? Acceleration? Jet pack? I feel like they covered the bases here pretty well. If you can control the powerups on the map, you control the game, unless you're playing someone who _vastly_ outgears you.
Hey, I won 2nd place with 9 kills when bat got 10 kills! That was our first 4 player, remember? And I was lagging like crap, one second, I'm attacking bat, another second you're attacking me with a laser on my back.
