Mr. Scolex

I've been playing the beta, and it's definitely a good game. The only real complaint I have is that the maps seem a bit too small (and there's no real map variety, but that's because the beta only includes two of them so I am withholding judgement on that until release - the ones that are there are good other than being small).

As far as telling what someone can do by looking at them, well, you can! It just takes a bit longer to figure everything out than in TF2. Most gadgets have a distinct effect on the player model - body armor is visible on your chest, you can see a glider strapped to your back, you visibly wear spring-boots, roller skates, and so on and so forth. And once you get out of the first 10 or so levels, where everyone will look the same for lack of costume slots/coins for costume parts, the high level of customization typically means that you can recognize players between conflicts, so even the abilities that you can't see right off will be obvious once you've seen the player use them once.

What?


Oh, dammit. Joystiq, you card.

Or, alternatively:

U R ALSO MR GAY

It's either "an FPS" or "a first person shooter". "a FPS" is acceptable, but "an" is still correct. The only improper way to say it, in fact, would be "an first person shooter".

As horrible as this all is, I'm immensely relieved to see that something calling itself the 'sonic bible' chose to use the name Robotnik instead of this Eggman shit.

Other than that, I refuse to acknowledge that anyone ever even thought of the rest of this.

Sandbox, of course!

I loved the last forge-everything map but the areas on the sides gave it a less open-ended feel. And deathballs sound awesome.
