I'll give it a go!
Strong points:
*Customization - I love the, for lack of a better term, HoS styled skill tree for each class. Really allows us to build Templars how we want them
*Pick up and play - Just like all of your games, easy to shut down and come back anytime.
*Depth - The game is very deep, lots of stats and the like that the player should know about, however....
*Ease of play - Even with the depth, it is very simple to understand and play. Transparency is always good.
Weakness:
*Heat generation - This is really small (in my consideration) but it might be worth a thought. Some classes (engineers in particular) seem to be pressure cookers. It might be worthwhile to slightly drop the heat cost of necessary actions (like capture) in order to make the player feel less frantic about heat. I've yet to lose any Templars to heat but when that red bar turns pink I do start to feel the pinch. Some players could see that as "this game is stupid" not "this game is challenging." Maybe reduce heat cost of frequent use abilities while raising special actions (like sentry gun deployment or healing)? Or, making it harder to overheat in general but having the damage from it be heavier?
*Speed emphasis - every mission has a turn target. Thus is fine and good, but it makes the player unconciously play towards speed. I'd really like some maps or campaigns where the team is on the defensive or is otherwise able to not play against the clock. Always having that "fast = more reward" causes players to rush the game and get more frustrated when they can't succeed.
Hope they're helpful. I'm already hopelessly in love with BF, haha.
