    I distinctly remember playing FOC, my first shooter video game. Getting stuck on the Megatron arena level for like a month. Needing to watch a video of someone else to beat it. Beating the game and feeling like I had accomplished something. I bought ROTDS on a Friday, thinking I would need at least the weekend to finish it. Six-Seven hours later, I knew what it felt like to be disappointed by a video game. Unfortunately, it would not be the last time I felt that.
    Also, yeah. Those drones are the most terrifying thing in the game.

    I remember when this was coming out, seeing the fact they incorporated a random samurai transformer that makes no sense, and were transitioning to the Michael bay designs I was SO dissapointed, but was still optimistic. And as soon as I played the first level I was like oh no.. The only thing they got semi-right was the escalation mode, cause it had all the characters from the old DLCs and maps from the other games, but EVEN THEN, if you played on any of the old maps the AI wouldn't always work properly on it. Almost as if they just lifted the map and plopped the AI on the map. I also remember one of the new maps was badly designed, so you could stand in front of enemy spawns the whole game and they couldnt get out of the door if you kept shooting and EVERY time the map would come up I'd always get outvoted 3-1 to go to the map. Nothing more fun than sitting around for a 20 min match, while everyone crouds around a door and tries as hard as they can to steal as many of the kills as possible. The whole game was just an excuse to shoehorn in the Michael bay designs because everyone liked WFC and FOC so much and the movie games werent getting as much praise.
