I just hate how im stuck with a pistol for about 4-5 matches before I can afford a decent rifle. Hopefully without my squads dying from AI dumb.
I actually find it fun :3 There seems to be a stealth mechanic present, in that when I (yes I impulse bought it and don't regret it <_< based on biased choices
like the promise of female soldiers and part of the dev staff being female and mostly purely because it has tons of potential ahead)-...err, I stationed my few starting squads near trees (because bushes don't give cover despite acting like a block, currently), taking the higher ground, staying away from the red circle [because that 'charge' command is GREAT, much like an 'assault' command, or a 'get here now' command, instead of the 'cautious/move around slowly and look in your LineOfSight for anyone' command], and myself being a flanker with a pistol.
Of course this easily gets you ded, if you engage alone
outside of cover, but finding a rock or tree to hide behind and you finding enemies? Helps the early game by a load. I've found in observation that players usually when finding enemies, go straight to shooting them rather than finding cover or appraising their own situation initially.
Never lost a battle yet (but there are EXTREMELY TOUGH ONES and the AI likes to stab you
in the butt where you never expect them at times, that is...really innovative really).
But I do grump at the current mechanic where some squad members don't...stay where exactly you want them, like at the base of a hill rather than the better, upper, more covered, part of the hill. Anyway, this looks greatly filled with potential, and the devs are being cool with communication and otherwise! (And being cheery and engaging too
)
