Hits, when your shot it almost makes it impossible to see whats going on some times....
Time it takes to get up when you are knocked off your hoverboard your basicly a sitting duck and will get killed.
I think some people might be misinterpreting the purpose of the hoverboard. (I've seen posts to that effect on other forums.) I don't think it was intended for use in combat areas or heavy traffic. I don't think it was intended for heavy-duty flag running, either, at least not without accepting the risk of being immobilized for a couple seconds. (Gotta have risk to get a reward.) Rather, it's primary use is for players to be able to traverse large, open maps, allowing people to travel from boring locations to areas of importance. It's for those times when you're playing Onslaught and you end up being out in the middle of nowhere without a vehicle.
I think it's a great addition for game types that do not have the translocater.

I use it all the time for flag running but as whip said, risk = reward. You have to have prethought your route to know where your least likely to be hit by spam etc. Come play with me tsanger and zeus and we'll show you what hoverboard + raptor does ;)

Everything in game is fine for me , exept for 1- The flack cannon; I think the secondary fire could be more 'expresive' and The Minigun; The secondary fire it's offset to like 5 o'ck from Pointer position . The vehicles are great, someone may say that 1 specific vehicle is way too powerfull , but the thing is that they all are in their own way . Jump while dodge is surely missed . About the User Interface part, it's all already said and clear.

Since playing more, I wanted to add that I hate the goliath turret now, it used to own.
and even though the new scorpian fire is great there should still be a third mode of fire that is good for taking down mantas, as that was always my quickest escape from getting pancaked
still liking it overall

as to the like i like the general things people like the new wepons the new vehicles and so on but what i do not like is the lagg. not the lag on the game in general but once i go online its lag centeral????? i mean its a real flaw with the demo almost every1 i talk to has had lagg issues with internet games. i mean com eon the lowest ping was 124?!?!?!?!?!?
but other than that i like it................... alot
plus bots need to be less awar of the fact that you are faking death its lioke they can see right past it and everything. also bodies should stay around longer so pertending to be dead can be more usefull.

That isn't your lowest, bug with the sorting look for 3's and 4's and you'll find the 30 and 40 pings
