This is a good way to put it. I've mostly fallen off the game, despite really wanting a co-op shooter. I think the problem is none of the mechanics really work well together, which makes it shallow. It also feels like a game that I'm playing alone with other people rather than a team.

I only play with friends, and it doesn't change. It's probably more fun having other people simultaneously going through what you are, but it still just ends up being the same thing on repeat. Plus with the missions only being 12 min or 40 (we really try to do all the objectives every time) you don't really get a say in how long stuff takes. There isn't an inbetween for quick "as long as a CoD match" mission or "this is pushing an hour" mission. A middle ground would be nice. I think having a better mission break instead of full on return to ship would be super helpful as well. Every time I finish a mission, my mind goes "OK, do we end here or do another" instead of "I really wanna keep playing".
