    Arcade Mode Complaints & Suggestions

    To preface this rant first let me say I have really been enjoying my time with this game, and I would like it to be the first it could possibly be. The single player was nearly flawless in my opinion and I immensely enjoyed it. The story was excellent, the villains felt like real people with believable motivations brought to life with intimate monologues, and the game mechanics were fun to engage with and presented many avenues towards completing your objective. My only honest complaint with it is the lack of FOV control. It felt as though the slider in the options had little to no impact, and it would reset back to a sickingly low level every time you operated a vehicle, look down a scope, pull out your fishing rod, etc. I recently completed my 100% playthrough of the single player in about 41 hours and enjoyed every minute of it when I wasn't pulling my parachute too late. I recently began playing the multiplayer or "Arcade" mode to obtain the rest of the achievements and Uplay challenges I am missing, and was greeted with an assortment of what are to me serious issues that make enjoying my time spent difficult. Allow me to explain:

    • The lack of responsiveness in the user interface is very noticeable. While this was also a problem in the single player store menus; it is even more of an issue and much more apparent in the multiplayer menus - especially the class selection screen. I often need to move my mouse around needlessly on and off the desired button in order for it to register as selected - often being stuck on the option above or below it. This usually causes me to just resort to using WASD in order to select my desired option. This issue is not mediated by unplugging my Xbox One remote either.

    • Please allow the use of the spacebar to confirm selected options on the menus such as a class. It worked in the single player for all of the menus like the store and vehicle selection. The enter key works for this purpose and it would great to extend that functionality to the spacebar which has a complete lack of assignment on the menus anyways.

    • The need to select a class every time I respawn is a completely needless waste of time. This is particularly aggrevating combined with the above two points. Take a page from nearly every other FPS on the market and remember my choice of class selection I've made and automatically spawn me as that class until I elect to open the menu and select otherwise.

    • Similarly to the prior point, please remember my selected weapon preferences when I respawn. Every time I respawn I need to reactivate "sticky" on my explosives, reset my desired fire mode if it's not the default one, and swap my selected weapon back to the one I was last using when I died instead of the default one. I don't want to reselect the shovel every time I respawn. It's really tedious to do upwards of ten times every game. This functionality works perfectly fine in the single player, but is absent from the multiplayer entirely.

    • Please addess the issue of spawn camping on countless of the featured maps right now. I don't know if this would be best solved with a system of that like CS:GO where players are invulnerable until they move or fire, or if there should just be a safe zone where you spawn where you cannot die. Many times the entire enemy team is spawn camping and it wouild be approriate to just then dynamically select each teams spawn locations to avoid the issue, but this isn't done.

    Besides these issues, I've been really enjoying the multiplayer and would love to continue playing it if these issues are fixed. The above might seem like small complaints or nitpicking, but they make a considerable difference towards mine and many others I've spoken to's enjoyment of the game. All of these seem relatively simple to address and I would sincirely appreciate the team doing so. Feel free to share your thoughts with me on the matter. Thanks for making it this far if you've read the entire thing, and have a good one~

    Very impressive feedback passthechong. I will save this information to pass along with the proper team. With that said as well. On the sticky thread I've created about players questions and concerns many of what you've stated has been noted on that thread as well wanted to share that we are always looking and coming up with ways to provide solutions to our players.

    I agree with spacebar being the confirmation for loadouts, since its annoying pushing enter everytime, hell saving the loadout for everytime you respawn is even better.
