Early Access Is Way Better Than The Alpha

I was very worried about this game when I played the alpha tests. It seemed very low on content and poorly tuned. But as an old Tribes 2 fanatic, I couldn't help myself but to pull the trigger on the Early Access pricetag anyway. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. There are new maps, new weapons, the maps themselves feel busier with players, and the outposts are a nice little addition for extra complexity. Considering that this is early access, which sets the expectation that further content updates are coming, I must say that I'm happy with the current state of the gameplay. The movement feels smooth and exchanging shots with enemies is rewarding.

My only gripe is that leveling doesn't seem to do anything. I wish it worked like Overwatch 1, where you could obtain new cosmetic items upon leveling. That was actually a fun mechanic, and people still paid extra to get more items they wanted. Battlepasses are just an annoyance that players have to deal with and tolerate.

Overall, I think the game is on the right track, but Devs, please try to be less greedy.
