:: Battleswarm - Pre-Release Beta Review - It's Awesome

Battleswarm (http://battleswarm.net) is shaping up to be an incredible Free to Play 3rd Person Shooter If you've been looking for a good shooter to satisfy your cravings then definitally give Battleswarm a look, you wont regret it!

Battleswarm which is sponsored by the Father of Gaming Nolan Bushnell (Atari) boasts an entirely new style of gameplay which can satisfy both Shooter and RTS (Real Time Strategy) Enthusiests. The most intriguing game type is the "Arena" Gametype where it's arranged as 4 Human Players and a Bug Player Vs 4 Humans and a Bug.

The humans play in an excellent 3rd Person Shooter mode similar to Battlefront with their Bug Counterpart who plays in a top down RTS mode where he can build Bugs to assist his Human Teamates against the other teams.

The other popular mode is Human VS Bug where the Humans are in the third person mode and the Bugs are RTS building Bugs to stop the humans from accomplishing their objective. (This mode is terrible right now because the Humans always win, the bugs need to be improved and balanced).

Battleswarm has the potential to be exceptional. That being said here are the things we did not like about the game.

These things need to be improved about the game!

Bugs always lose, Humans VS. Bugs need to be balanced
More Human V.S. Human Modes (Arena Gametypes, currently there is only one)
This game needs Tons of Coop modes, if they have more Coop modes, this game would be even better (Again they only have one)
More maps
Streamline the start of game process so people can start gaming quicker
Bug players "Hero" needs to be a whole lot stronger (so he can actually kill enemy players)
