In Response To: Week 2 Impressions (serpx)

- Loving breakout, it's intense and feels super tactical and strategic
- I find that this game FEELS like Halo, but better. I hate COD and I casually dislike Destiny's Crucible because the time to kill is way too low and god knows what gun everyone is using. I'm still making jumps, finding lines, getting a feel for grenade physics and going for assassinations. I'm just doing all of it a little faster and having fewer weird hangups when jumping around. Playing with my mates we're falling into the same roles that we always do in a Halo and are loving it.
- Map control is still super important
- I absolutely love the sprint with the suppressed recharge. It heightens the tension but also forces me to sprint carefully and only when necessary when my shields are down.
- I'm loving being a team player in this. I can ping someone and get into cover knowing that my mate will finish the kill.
- The callouts are getting me to learn locations quicker

- I'm super frustrated with the matchmaking, after the intermission, if anyone has left, it occasionally doesn't find any new players and you're sitting there for 10+ minutes waiting for a new game and you have to quit out and restart the game to get back to the main menu because they don't allow you to back out at that point.
