General consensus of Soltice so far?

As far as the volge in the rocks goes, if people didn't sit up there and snipe they might not do it as frequently.

Get rid of the mother ****ing BMG users and we wont need to be in the rocks.

Well, last night was pretty much the complete opposite of the night before. I managed to complete 2 of the majors without going down but once. I don't know if it's because they already nerfed it or that there were more people at it that knew what they were doing. The drops were a little better. I got blues out of a couple of minors but mostly green mods.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the event. The snow is awesome and I love the challenge. And while I have been reading that some people dislike the fact that some players and Volge disappear during the major, I whole heartily support it because it helps minimize the lag that we all have witnessed in past events. I imagine that this effect was intentionally implemented by the devs. It basically creates a battle inside the bigger battle going on around you so that you still have Volge to kill and even though you can't see some of the other players you can see the damage they are doing via the enemy's shield/health meters. As soon as their are less objects in the area to display the other players begin popping back up and when more Volge spawn the system appears to compensate removes things from the display. Being a developer myself, that while it needs to be fine tuned some more, I have to say that it is about the most elegant solution that they could have implemented given the age and hardware limitations of the consoles.

I don't mind the players disappearing, it's the Volge I would like to see around me. For me, sometimes the red enemy dots don't appear on my mini-map (same with the purple-players), so it's hard to play when the Volge randomly pop in and out of my screen. And when they do pop out, I can't shoot them. So my scores haven't been that great.

It's weird playing the Solstice though. When the Volge are popping in and out of my view, I would apparently get hit by one of them and my character would act like nothing happened to them, but next thing I know my shields are down and I'm near dead. It's like "what the hell hit me?"

I don't hate it, but I also don't really enjoy playing it. The snow is a great touch, so is the fog. The drops aren't that good, mostly green mods and weapons, so I just salvage them. I keep getting purple weapons for the "presents" and rewards that aren't any use to me. Purple is nice and all, but these Shotguns and Launchers aren't good at all and I do not work well with them.

How is that a troll? I was being serious...

Actually, yer not entirely wrong. Many of the issues with this game are the result of the limited resources (memory, etc.) of the 360... that's a fact.

I wonder what it would take to get a PS4/XBOXONE release? Hell Rockstar just did it with GTA, why not TRION?
