Ground combat is awful and needs a complete do over from square 1. It should be changed to first person mode. How about being able to do some additional things besides shoot and rifle butt people? Maybe the ability to actually AIM our weapons would be nice. Some environmental interaction perhaps? Weapons routinely shoot through solid objects so hiding is pointless. the targeting system is AWFUL. Trying to target an enemy or an ally is insanely hard unless your are standing right next to them.
The entire system is awful. It is pathetic because there are numerous examples of far better ground combat systems. Halo, Elder Scrolls, Doom, Modern Warfare....
Look at those games and then play STO. Its like playing Farmville instead of Civilization. One is fun and challenging; the other is a complete waste of time and requires zero skill.
