Tower control looks excellent.

Edge 9. Knew it would be. 

I really should get in on this. Haven't even put the disc in the console yet!

I don't do find enough time for this game, busy at work so all I can do in the evenings is Netflix.

Need to get my vote in for POP soon and look at the new modes. Never ever played ranked, do you still level up? Only at level 13. Last time I was in a room full of Japanese players, that didn't en nd well. Hardly got any points.

From what I've seen, there's too little content out of the gate to be worth a 9.
And almost everyone moans about the tilt controls.

There are some awesome ideas in there though. Love the roller weapon.

You do get points for levelling in ranked BUT you either get very high (2000ish) or very low (most of the time zero) depending on if you win or lose.

Anyone participate?

Was hoping you'd tell me. What's the tower mode like?

I played tower a few times. It was pretty thrilling. In one game the other team got down to two and then we beat them in extra time.

IT'S like splatzones but with a less abstract target and a mechanic for balancing the game back  (you have to get the tower in your opponents half, while splats its a legit tactic to camp and destroy).

As far as I can tell, splatfest tracks your teams score across the 24 hours and then the team with the most gets some shells to re roll their abilities

What?

But on a regular basis.

That's a weird decision, but at least it means I might have a chance to try splat zone.

It's a wonderful game that's only going to get much better. I still think drip feeding the new content is misguided. Many won't be coming back.

It's a shame but I played it for a couple of hours and got bored and have given up with it. Lack of in game comms kills it for me.

Had some fun in my first couple of hours on this yesterday. There's a lot more depth in the weapons, kit and tactics than I thought. Looks and plays great, and started getting used to the motion aiming by the end of the session.

The only downside is that it leads to the annoying situation plaguing modern shooters where new players are penalised for being new. It wouldn't have been so bad if the matchmaking was better but there were a few times where I was on a team of level 1-5's against a team of level 12's plus. Got absolutely smashed.

Team tactics and comms would make a difference for sure but it's a rough entry. Anyway, I hit level 4 so have now upgraded from the basic weapon set and it's certainly made a difference. This is likely old news but I'm late to the party as always.

One question, I'm guessing that walls do count towards your percentage coverage? I only ask because they seem to overlooked in most games I've had so far.

WALLS DONT COUNT

Not even to ten.
