If you think the game has a low skill cap you clearly did not play much. I mean that doesn't even make sense. Not only is it fast pace, you have fucking jet packs and wall running abilities so you have to be better at aiming then most other shooters. Explain low skill cap to me?
Auto aim pistol takes about 3 seconds to lock and and kill, and if you can't kill some one within 3 seconds of seeing them you are bad at FPS games. Shotgun = 1 shot kill. Assault Rifle = 1 good burst. Sniper rifle = 2 shots. If you are in close quarters at all, you CANNOT kill with the smart pistol by locking on because wall running + double jump in a small area is impossible to keep the target on them that long. While the weapon is strong is certainly has its limits and is no where close to overpowered. The stealth ability makes the pistol take 5+ seconds to lock, and the if they can even get a lock on you while using the spirit ability you just don't understand movement. The smart pistol is worthless in Capture the Point and Last Titan Standing.
Bots are cannon fodder and are only relevant in Attrition game mode. Shooting them reveals your position on the mini map for a brief second, and that is their main purpose in the game. There would be entirely too many sneaky kills without them out there.
I have played probably 10 or so hours now, this game is great. Titans are fun additions to the game, nothing close to OP. Aside from you liking arena shooters only, I don't know how you don't enjoy this game.
