The way he described it, it sounded like a jet pack hack though because even with a jet pack you cant hover for the entire game. Those jet packs are massively overpowered though and almost impossible to play against. Played one recently where most players had a jet pack and it was like a rabbit festival with all the hopping. Impossible to get a shot at them and they all just leapt to roof tops out of range and sniped away at the rest of us which was kinda pointless. Only map where they have no advantage is in the car park. The rest of them, they can be beat but it's just too much work, it's like bringing a paper cup to a beer festival. It always falls apart. They definitely need their power reduced or some kind of usage limit like the grenades or fuel usage. Something that reduces their power is kinda essential now though because theirs just too many around and too hard to get them in your sight at all.
How about no shooting while midair? That would solve most of the problems. Solve the rest by buying one.
well, you know, the game is kinda dull, it's not really "sci-fi" for a sci-fi FPS. there's no crouch button, can't hide behind walls/objects and shoot (something like in ME:I, which i think it's really needed), and shooting range is kinda short, too. starting guns are not so great (weak, precisely). am i gonna need to buy IAPs to get some decent guns?
Those reasons have nothing to do with whether or not it's a "real" sic-fi FPS or not. And btw, when you referred to being behind walls and shooting; that's only for TPS's. I've never seen a FPS game have that feature before.
oh, yeah, you're right, it's only in TPS, my bad well, i just think it would be great if i can do that in FPS since aiming in iOS shooting game is not as fast and precise as in PC, so rolling-crouching-hiding-shoot mechanism is really needed IMO (at least crouching). and about the "sci-fi" thing, i just think that this game is "less sci-fi" than ME:I, i think it's because of the abilities (and maybe because i haven't played this game far enough). am i gonna need to buy IAPs to get some decent weapons?
Ah yes! Quantum of Solace actually switches to a third person view when you're in cover though, which is I why I thought of that.
Good news: source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57432267-1/does-n.o.v.a-3-actually-look-better-on-the-old-ipad/
Great! Hope they'll optimize their engine better next time (and that we won't have to wait 4 month for that update...) I wonder if lower resolution means 1024 or a different, higher one. Guess we'll find out when this update hits.
Really? Hmm, other winner choice would be sniper+jetpack, you know, thanks to the damn aim-assist, but I'm fine with the Plasma Rifle. BTW, I saw a player jumping with a fuc**** Mech, and once I haven't any weapon. LOL?
I guess I won't be updating this game from now on then (unless DLC comes out, but if you think about it Mc3 didn't get any). I still believe that my iPad doesn't lag while playing Nova 3.
If you look closely it says that you'll have a choice, you'll be able to change it in the option. If you don't see the frame drops then it's all good for you!
I'd say it basically means with one option, it'll be the same resolution and effects as iPad 2 and second option retina display as it is now at double the resolution but no effects. It won't be anywhere in between.
You'll be able to update safely because the option will only change a background switch because the build has retina display and iPad 2 display built in. It's just at the moment, as any universal does, it recognises what device it's on itself and makes the choice itself. This update will give iPad 3 users the choice without the software deciding for you. It basically does what all the other people with iPad 3 wanted. Granted they will lose half the resolution but they will gain all the effects which are cool.
Hey guys, do you remember the motion blur effect from MC3? Well, select the sprint perk and play in a huge map. Keep sprinting. It looks totally weird after a while!!
