Feedback: how your feedback directly impacted the game

Marines, here is how your input improved USC: Counterforce


[h3]We are grateful to everyone who played and loved our latest playtest version from June. You took the time to share really helpful comments with us, and we listened![/h3]

[h2]1/ New game mode[/h2]

This new game mode was implemented in the latest playtest. You were many to report that this mode was interesting but required more solutions (larger variety of building elements, lower cost, more defensive means, balancing their resistance) to be able to succeed. The quality of life of the building process could be improved and the mode would require a tutorial.

WHAT CHANGED:
  • A tutorial for this new mode is already planned
  • New building elements will be added later on
  • This new mode will have balance fixes, but it is too soon to share them as they require multiple internal iterations



[h2]2/ General balance and fixes[/h2]

Balancing is complex and requires a lot of adjustments based on your feedback during playtests. Some of you reported that some weapons lack sufficient power, while aliens pose a challenge to defeat due to their substantial health points and the amount of ammunition required to eliminate them. Additionally, armor has been perceived as less compelling than medicine, primarily due to the Action Point (AP) cost for movement and repair. Feedback indicates that both armor and medicine are considered costly in terms of currency and AP, as well as taking up significant space in the inventory.

WHAT CHANGED:
  • Overall balance fixes (including some armor & weapon changes)
  • Stability & UX improvements
  • New iterations of the player profile system to help beginner players & veterans (select the default squad, keep track of various progress in one place, etc.)
  • Technical improvements (UI scaling & resolution issues, for example)
  • Audio improvements (such as new unit sounds & movement sounds)
  • Visual rework of the Main Menu & item icons
  • Bugs fixes
  • A new Single Mission menu
