Re: Escapist reviews CO.
Technically, he's correct when he says things like:
However, you have to understand it in the context of the progression. It sounds goofy if they are made out to be one continuous area, but there is a whole backstory that you only get by working your way through the missions over the course of 15 of so levels. And it's not like your walking straight from one area to the next, or getting quests for all over the map at the same time.
One of the great things I like is that there are so few zones. Coming from other MMOs where you have the 1-10 zone, the 11-20 zone, and so on. You never go back to them after you level up which seems like a big a waste of resources. In CO my lvl 9, 23, and 29 are all in Canada right now, but doing different areas. Keeps the zone chat active and hopefully promotes the sharing of help and advice.
I loved SG btw, the humour was a nice change from the gang warfare and mind control of MC, and provided a nice break before I got back into the 'serious' VIPER/gadroon stuff again.
