    I agree with those saying the power cells are way too expensive. I think the fair way to get people to pay for this would either be a monthly subscription (a couple of bucks, play as much as you want) or 10 bucks or so to fully unlock the game and never have to buy cells.

    The cost of power cells is currently so high that I honestly don't know what they were thinking. A complete rip off, and if they don't change it soon, 90% of the current players are going to stop playing within a week.

    Also, more to do while offline would be great. A campaign, or bots that are actually challenging to play against in practice mode.

    Without using cells though? I reached level 9 and im even playing as im typing kind of but i dont find it quiet as interesting. I purchased on epower pack and used the 30 i started with and it was amazing then but as soon as i lost cells i lost interest.

    Kinda funny how despite buying all the guns but the grappling hook, I still gravitate back to the Auto Rifle/Plasma Cannon setup.

    I just hate how you have to wait so long for your power to recharge, i mean whats the point of playing if you cannot earn credits? Not only that but i find killing some players is impossible. I don't know what they are doing but you can sit there and shoot them for what seems like an eternity and they just won't die, then they take one shot at you and you are dead. Whats the deal? Makes the game very aggravating at times.

    Heres a tip. Aim for the head you can literally put two bullets in someones head with the Auto-Rifle and take them out.

    I think NGmoco ripped us off here. I have to wait more than 3 hours till the next recharge, the micro transactions are wayyyy to expensive and don't have enough power cells. Someone posted earlier above about paying a few bucks monthly for power cells. I agree. If we can have unlimited power cells every month for a few bucks, maybe less people wouldn't be pissed and angry at ngmoco right now

    lets say on average 50 credits per game?...

    So basically they are stopping you from leveling up because of a waiting period? That is a serious flaw in the game. They need to balance out the credited games more if they continue to go this route. Playing around 4-5 games goes by in 20mins then you are forced to wait 4-5 hours to gain partial cells to earn more credits. What kind of logic goes into stopping progression of someone's level? People should be able to level regardless. A good solution would be splitting up the matchmaking like other games and make it Regular and Ranked. Regular allowing you to progress through the game/leveling and Ranked allowing you to work on your Skill points and playing with others similar to your skill level.

    Possibly having certain armor only available when you hit a certain Skill point tier. Then they can have exclusive only store bought items which would still drive in their micro-transactions. I know they are using micro-transaction business model to make the money but the balance is right now needs to be tweaked. And if leveling is going to fast, increase the amount between levels. It's obvious people are hungry to level up so let them level up the whole time giving them a reason to continue to play.

    It is a pain. Actually ngmoco usually gets their controls right. But I guess in a fps they lack ideas for a good shooter. I think they should have had two control options: the one right now and a accelerometer to move and the stick to move around. The box for zooming in is very annoying and hard to use

    250 times 50 is 12,500. so 12 thousand credits should get you (saying 400 credits per level up since in the upper levels the credit cost increases) 30 levels? Actualy you may have to increase the number of credits per level. At level 25 im thinking it'll take over 800ish credits to level up. Someone with a high level should tell us.
