What would you like to see in WFC 2? Heres what I would like:

Shockwave to be part of the actual campaign and not just DLC

Megatron to be voiced by Frank Welker, his voice in the first game is sooo annoying

More melee combat, not just one hit. Maybe Arkham Asylum style melee combat, the Transformers have more melee fights then shootouts

Starscream to have a different voice, maybe something closer to TF prime

Obviously new characters, maybe Mirage could be one of them

More varied levels, in WFC the levels all looked the same, they could find a way to make them look different in WFC 2 like a trip to a nearby moon or something

Better boss battles, in WFC it was just look theres a hatch opening on him! SHOOT THE RED BUTTON!! yeh maybe something different and more realistic then shooting a red spot

More customization in multiplayer, like maybe eye colour transformation sound, head design, transformation animations and more

Escalation offline like the way you can do firefight offline, Escalation is the best part of the game and I can't play it because my XBL is gone

this thread makes the game sound like a piece of **** lol but it is awesome

How 'bout more that 7 hours of gameplay to start?

Offline co-op, natch. No idea how they let the game ship without it. While we're at it, how about some programming for multiplayer that wasn't written by chimps? Four times in a row, the game tried to send me into a match, only to immediately kick me because I didn't have the map they were playing.

Aye..

Off-line Co-Op

Once DLC kicks in, if there is anyone in the party that doesn't have it, then they shouldn't get kicked out.

....Multiplayer should have switch hosting. The fact that WFC has it for a game released in 2010 still dumbfounds me.

I could go into the multiple flaws to this mediocre game. Thank god I just let my cousin take it off my hands.

The only saving grace is the fact that it is Transformers, and that the character designs are good. Once that sinks in, it's a below average FPS.

It's so below the average for a First Person Shooter, it's a Third Person Shooter.

While we're addressing things WfC should have had, actual character customization, not just repainting small selection of pre-existing character models with a limited range of colors.

More flier levels. I loved the flier levels.

More extended driving/flying sequences as well. Ooh, great idea I just had, how about a combination car chase/boss fight?

More guns, I like the selection they have now, but more guns.

Some more variety in body-type selections. For example: Instead of every Scientist chassis being a Jet, Have Jets, Helicopters, VTOL Craft, etc.

Already mentioned above, more character customization than body type and color. Alternate heads, voice clips, and such.

For the love of all things good and holy, HOST MIGRATION. I hate it when people ditch in the middle of a round when i'm on a roll.

More guns! MOAR DAKKA!

Mabye a special ability that allows you to dual wield guns? I've always fantisized about being a Soldier and dual-wielding X-12 Scrapmakers in Escalation.

A longer campaign mode, for starters. In fact, this is the most important as far as I'm concerned--12+ hours is really skimpy, IMO.

More variety in game-play, too. The boss fights in both factions seem to go a similar route--avoid death ray attack from giant boss, shoot weakness, repeat. The only fight that didn't feel like it was cut from the same mold was the Starscream boss fight in the Autobot campaign.

IMO, escalation should have been kept as an offline co-op game.

I realize single player mode is getting obsolete for TPS/FPS games, but placing a game's replay value in online only options creates problems for those of us with shaky internet connections, or slow bandwidth.

Last but not least, I'd like to see a more complete story development. If I recall correctly, WFC was marketed as a game that explores the origin of Megatron and Optimus Prime. Instead, it felt more like one of those two-episode stories from the 1984 cartoon, using dark energon as the "super-weapon of the week." The promised origin of Megs and OP were featured only in the Exodus novel instead of in the game. Nice strategy to get fans to buy more stuff, but I felt kind of jipped.

I really don't expect anything more than 10 hours in a shooter campaign. This isn't RPG, so I'm not expecting much.. especially since we drive/fly around and it's all linear.

True, but I would love it to be a sandbox type game.

I don't mind Escalation online (thought a lot of people reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally suck at it), but having an option to play it offline would be awesome.

I guess you're right. Maybe I'm remembering things wrong, but shooter games seem to last longer during the PS2 era [a certain game titled Black being an exception.] Maybe it's all the extras they crammed into a game back then, that you now have to buy and download these days.

Speaking of which, I'd also like more extras in WFC2, although game companies seem to be less and less willing to include stuff with the game these days, when they can just make you buy it in the form of a DLC. For instance, RE4 had Separate Ways and Assignment Ada included, which if it were released as a PS3 game, would have been DLC's.

Yup. Thing is, I hate it when my ISP does routine maintenance, and I have to wait until my internet connection comes back on to use online features.

Aye, no kidding. Gone the days are where 'beating the game' unlocks extra content. Instead all we need is Microsoft Points or PSN Money to get extra content. Oh well.. $$$$ for these companies. I'm pretty sure WFC was just Activision's foot in the water for a non-Movie TF game. If it weren't for DOTM, WFC wouldn't been so much better with another half year in development.

Well, beating WfC unlocks Slipstream and Arcee. Also tons of concept art if I'm not mistaken. It's not like all games have gotten rid of extra stuff just for beating the game. And it's not like all games even featured it. Used to be all you got for beating the game was a pat on the back and the good feeling of having beaten it.

Personally, I've never bought any of the DLC's. Makes me feel like someone took the ice cream out of my root beer float and and made me buy it as a separate topping.

FULL/COMPLETE CUSTOMIZATION!! We should be able to pick what ever parts of their body (head, legs, arms, torso)we want. Also using the body parts you picked, customize their vehicle mode. make every weapon availabe for every class. I could use a sniper rifle as a scientist. More classes. Everybody is down for a triple-changer class and about half says a combiners class would be cool. The other half doesn't see the class working. I loved the campaign mode. Offline modes would be sweet. Especially with the recent PSN attack. Better killstreaks!

This. This times a million. When they announced a character customization, I think this is what everyone was expecting.

wigglez323 wrote:make every weapon availabe for every class. I could use a sniper rifle as a scientist

Eh...I think it's better with weapons limited to certain classes. I mean, as it is right now, if a Scientist gets his hands on a dropped Null Ray, he can easily find a spot on nearly any map that no one else can reach and wreck people from there. I should know. I've done it.

wigglez323 wrote:More classes. Everybody is down for a triple-changer class and about half says a combiners class would be cool. The other half doesn't see the class working.

I've explained this one a billion times: While the mechanics of a combiner would work, getting it's component players to work is an entirely different matter. None of the solutions I've heard could reconcile the combiner itself with the player's need to be in control of himself.

wigglez323 wrote:I loved the campaign mode. Offline modes would be sweet. Especially with the recent PSN attack.

Yes. Offline co-op is one of those thing that you must be an insane person to NOT include in a game.

wigglez323 wrote:Better killstreaks!

Also yes. I'm okay with killstreak bonuses as they are now, but come on, when have you ever gotten excited after you heard the words "Health Matrix Online"?

More depth customization
More developed melee combat I would like a melee system that is not the call of duty one hit kill style
To have the same game on a Nintendo platform

I got a wish.......BETTER and or more MELEE'S! Soundwave is the only one with a decent melee. Optimus's melee sucks and it takes to long to retract back before he can do something else. It's just an awkward melee in general. All the scouts melee's suck and the all the scientists melee's are pathetic.
Oh, I forgot ... Warpath's melee is ok but other than him and Soundwave all the melee's totally need some serious improvement.
Even Revenge of the Fallen melee's are better. Atleast you have a variety. WFC you only get one melee.
Sometimes in the middle of a battle I feel like my melee's just go right through people.

And Finally..... yes. More in depth customization. Let us make our own friggin Transformer. One that's not an actual character and looks like how we would make a Transformer if we could make one.

Maybe a cover system?
