there are br games without a janky and awful leftover build mechanic
Not only it's not janky and a left over, as it is a core of the experience, but it's the best build mechanics you could have in game. Most game have you fiddle with bad alignment and janky menu, this game allow you to build while moving, while aiming at your opponent. Top player can build a t3 in under one second (t3 = a height 3 tower). That's super efficient build mechanics.
My complain is more about that it's so efficient that I feel like a old geezer. I was trained in simple click and play shooter, where the best sophistication was there was level with "different height" to allow for "vertical" gameplay. They had small map you have to memorize to get gud.
This is no click and play, it's like going from 2d mario to 3d mario, there is suddenly a big added dimension that player exploit fully, while you are still trying to just aim at them. they shoot, build shoot, and there is counter measure to defense play which involve more building. But I'm like still trained to pea shooter, I'm like an open prey in the field "a bambi" like the kid like to say.
On top of that the game is heavily about resources management, you have to monitor your ammo, material (for build) and health resources (healing take quite a time and you can't move, so that's a major tactical consideration), you are constantly juggling different parameters on top of the usual shooter things.
I tried other br game and they are like crash bandicoot vs mario 64, they are old game that pretend to be new for old geezer pretend they are in like the new cool kids, but they are literally the vhs to the blueray. They are for people who refuse to move forward.
I mean I don't complain about the build fight gameplay, seeing an entire fort being organically build as a opposing force meet together is still quite a sight.
I'm complaining because I still fall back to whack a mole fps, where you shoot then go to cover, meanwhile the cool kid do a t3 to assess the situation, then ramp over my head and fall down my head with a shotgun killing me almost instantly because headshoot.
I need to get on the time and move to 3d shooting gameplay. I need to stop cover and start building.
