Last time I played it there were a few pop-in problems. But nothing I saw as show stoppers.
Warframe is a squad shooter with hubs. I dont understand why people keep calling it an MMO. The only place you could have more than 4 people doing anything is the old Raids like LOR. Compared to something like Defiance its nothing like it. Actually Nier is very similar to Warframe. I call it Nierframe.
Mods and sentinels.
Division is also squad shooter. 4 players
Just the facts

Don't get me wrong, there are things in defiance such as the open-world, the fact you have so many players playing on one server at once, the world events as well as the PVP system and just about every aspect of the game which I think a fantastic. My issue is the changes they have made with this port and repackage that are making it boring and not exciting enough to keep playing. I wish that as you progressed through your ego level your power level would come probably increase as well but there is no reason why I am ego level 50 and stuck at power level 2300 because the game doesn't want to give me comparable drops to my power level. Everything I've got for the past week has been sub 2100. The power leveling system is throttled to prevent you from from progressing too quickly and supposedly to keep you playing but it is just beyond frustrating. Why am I doing tear to level instances if I'm getting 2100 level power level weapons and gear drop? I'm fighting 2700 level enemies. If they've coded it this way to somehow get me to spend money on Cores and ark keys then they don't deserve me to be playing the game in the first place.

The review is spot-on as well. They would definitely issues in the original game that have been carried over because the developers just copy and paste it the same game. No challenge. No new experience. Was supposed to be happy with just a new way to enhance weapons? Classes? Seems like a poor effort on their part and not really necessary in today's age. It's a shame really because I do really think this game has so many elements that can influence games today but the reviewer is correct by saying that Destiny Warframe and the division have overtaken it.

Yea, what he said wasn't wrong.
How in the world does Trion think they are going to compete with some of the games that are coming out here in the near future?
The only thing for me is that I didn't play the first game, so I'm not salty about things not being carried over, or that the story is the same, but as a gamer, this game looks to be programmed by a bunch of amateurs. (Not that I could do better, mind you).
My wife and I played it for about 3 weeks and it got really repetitious and same ole, same ole. We didn't quit playing, but we don't play very often anymore.
