Best game out there atm. Anyone thinking otherwise can meet me at the old church by midnight!

Before I go with a few key points, just realize that I dislike the genre of the super heroes, yet I really love the game.

- Travel powers are fast, efficients and include full vertical movement. The ferry is amazing in completing the between the zones travels and improve the previous metro with CoH.

- Easy to understand and get started, hard to master. I never found any game which is easier to get started and harder to master, so I am not saying it is the best on this topic, I say no game beat it on both fronts. It is easier then WoW or EQ to get started, but it is harder to master it completely (not merely succeed).

- You characters become stronger as you advance in levels, unlike in other MMOs where you become deficient as you level up. At level 1, you can solo 3 minions level 1 and it take everything in you. At level 50, you can solo a score of minion 52, 2 lieutnants 52, 1 boss 52 and 1 elite boss...so there is a becoming.

- 50 levels, 24 powers, 67 enhancements (+the 24 first free + sprint/brawl/rest)...you have to pick a primary power in a list of 4-7 related to your archtype (so in a list 20-25), you will get the first or second power as you start and you can select any of the 8 other as you level up...many players will make different choices. Repeat for the secondary...then you have to pick up to 4 alternate power sets (among 10 choices) where you can put up to 16 powers (you will obviously pick a lot less there), finally you pick an epic power set (among 3) and put again up to 4 powers in there. The customisation is plainly amazing, you won't see anyone like you, and even maybe you will see nobody remotedly similar. Let's take an example. Dis Co my corruptor is a fire/sonic. 1/5 should be a corruptor, fire is quite popular among corruptor, so 1 corruptor on 3 will pick fire. Sonic is on the other end vastly ignored, there are 3 other players with that secondary ability on my server at level 50...and none of these are fire as a primary. So Dis Co, my corruptor, never meet someone of her class (fire/sonic) at her level, and this is good...I am UNIQUE! :P

- Customisations, all the look you can get...it is amazing. I know designers who spent hours creating characters for the fun of it...so it is likely to anyone's GF could spent hours there...if not the guy to!

*******************************************

It is the sequel to CoH, and they improve the original game. The navigation between the zones is simpler, so you don't get lost, which is good.

They never nerf any player bad soo far. So they don't ruin you past experience.

Raiding was always optional, you can raid or join the Lord Recluse Strike Force (group), same reward. This is a gem and a must for me!

As I said up there, anyone that vaguely think ill of the game could meet me at midnight by the old church, bring no witness! :P
