The single player campaign is great but it's a single player game experience is tarnished by the server issues. If it was just at launch or just in Australia hard to say since there's no communication on this issue.

My experience was having to load the game, endure all their logos and splash screens, getting to a menu where you start the game.

At this point it would load/join server to get to a battle barge.
Then you move your player character up to console to select the game you want, either coop missions, campaign or vs.
Once selected the type, it would do the load/join server yet again.

With all the issues joining friends, we've been through this countless times. There is no cancel so the endless joining has to be ALT F4'd so that whole sequence every single time.


There are only 6 coop missions.
You can't play with your friends, because the servers never work, so you must join randoms.
Then its a coin flip if that joins so you may need to ALT F4 to restart the process unless you want to wait some unknown amount of time till it times out.

For coop, which is where the repayable game loop I wanted is, its restricted to 3 players each having to select a unique class. Without match making this is broken since it will throw you into a game where the class you are trying to level up is already taken and since its a higher difficulty you can't use a different class.

I couldn't play the campaign with my mates since the servers never worked.
I can't do the coop missions for the same reason..
This game has become a case of not bothering to even try because it's probably not gonna work anyway.
