4. The Only People Playing Are Taking It Seriously
Online play as the propensity to allow for people to pretty much do anything other than play the game properly. However, whilst that's definitely a stereotype that emerged over years from people tea-bagging each other on the likes of Halo 2 and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow's first online matches, so far the community that's emerging around Evolve is comprised of people that really want to learn the ins and outs of their class, whilst making sure you do too. Teamwork is key to bringing down the beast, and the game will actively remind you to stick together if you get too far apart (not in too strict a way). Still, the feedback loop of the game is comprised of (depending on the mode) seeking out the monster, having a pop and chipping off some damage, before recouping and delving into all manner of trap-setting options or strategies discussed amongst the team. Hardly anyone wears headsets online anymore (mostly to avoid screaming players ruining everything), but it stands that even without voice communication the A.I. will respond to threats in-character and give you enough of a team-based 'feel' to keep things moving at a hurtling pace.
