(Still really enjoying Arc btw. Great stuff, even if every time a character barks out an awkwardly-delivered AI voice line, it makes Embark look cheap and disinterested)

It takes time and repetition for a thought like "AI voices needlessly undermine what's great about this game" to penetrate. Harder in an environment where, instead of being curious, you can just follow "ARC NEWS" twitter accounts for unconditional glazing for the game you like. Anyways, good review!

This is wonderful, Matt. Thanks for sharing

Yep, I talk about that a bit. I think the friendliness has an expiration date if everyone maxes out their upgrades etc. You get bored, try murdering.

Yup, it's brutal. I don't dislike those maps really, they're just too much of the map pool

I think several maps also feel small because, well, they're kinda small. DICE made boundaries so narrow that a lot of the map goes unused. Not a problem BF1 had to my memory. (this is what Mirak would look like like if its borders were cut like Sobek City) www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/wh...

Clearly I've been dropping the...ball
