Transformers Multiplayer Prime Concern

[HyenaThePirate]

Now while I won't bother mentioning the inherent issue of "movie games" and their usual expected levels of quality, I did think the last Transformers movie game wasn't HORRIBLE and even was a little fun after watching the movie. It certainly didn't suck...

So here we are at Transformers The Fallen only a few tantalizing weeks away, and with it comes what looks like an updated version of the Transformers 1 game with "Transformers the Fallen" stamped on the box. While it's not surprising, and admittedly looks pretty good to me from what I've seen, one aspect of the new game caught my attention... it's Multiplayer.

Is this going to be worth our time? How will they handle who gets what autobot? I really dont want to see deathmatches involving 6 optimus primes vs. 5 Megatrons and 1 Bumblebee. But if you can't choose who you want to use (i'm assuming each character will have advantages like agility, armor, strength, etc) then would anyone want to play? Who wants to get stuck on a map with Ratchet? How will they keep Optimus and Megatron from being OP (Over-powered?).

Anyone else have any thoughts or concerns?

Ok, I guess no one cares about this game LOL

Presumably they'll take the same approach as TF2 (and almost every other "class" based multiplayer FPS) and allow you to pick whatever class you want irrespective. They'll make a weak attempt at balancing the different 'bots and people will soon learn which one is over-powered. Expect maps to be full, not of Prime, but of someone obscure. Could even be Ratchet.

I think THINK! the team that made the Atari Transformers game had a hand in this one so it could COULD! be pretty good.

I reckon the MP will only let you play as bots. Or maybe you'll have to earn the right to carry the proton cannon.

As long as the Gen.1 are there, I'm happy.
