The coverage on PC Gamer has been a bit more positive. I thought it was interesting how the passive abilities of the classes affected nearby teammates. OTOH, if the execution isn't very good I guess it won't matter if they had few good ideas.

I also read a bit where some Ubi-guy said that the micro-payments won't affect gameplay. You just get things like grenades and better armor. Wait, what???
