Has combat changed since Beta ?

I preordered this game so I could get into beta.
The game had a unique feel to it but that quickly died away once the grind set in. I had pictured in my mind sitting in a bar late at night discussing plans for group missions to do cool things. Instead all I saw were players running back and forth to a phone booth and too busy to chat.
The combat was even worse than I could imagine. The tutorial left me thinking this has gotta be a joke. It was like a bad experiment gone horribly wrong. Out the gate, I get my first mission. I immediately notice the similiarities to City of Heroes. Same boring mission, go out on street and hunt some gang of punks. When I approach them Im thinking okay I have 3 to take on. Do I pull or try something else. I soon realize that doesnt matter. Once I engage an enemy, Im stuck on him. There wasnt anyway to hit both mobs at the same time (aoe). There was just me and this artificial opponent going at it....BORING. And even worse, I wasnt actually in combat clicking and seeing the results. Instead it was click on a special and wait til it was used seconds later. It was in short the worst combat Ive ever seen in a mmorpg.
After about a week of this horrid garbage, I let my son try it out to see if maybe he could show me something fun about the system. He couldnt find anything decent with the game either so we deleted beta and tossed the gamebox (amazon wouldnt refund it) in the storage box in the attic.
Anyway, Im bored out of my mind since SOE destroyed my beloved SWG. Im so bored that Im even looking at Matrix again despite my hatred and distrust of SOE. So my question is, did the combat change at all or will it ? And if so, to what will it change to ?

I really think that in order to have fun in any MMO you need to find a good guild with similar direction. There will always be spastic characters zooming about in any MMO. You really need to find a guild that you can hang with to have those types of experiences.
Just my 2¢.
so...
No, the game should have reflected the real Matrix.
Instead of HP, just beat the crap out of your enemy just like in the other Matrix games.
They should have made it like a button mashing game. Allow the option for a controller or be delt with the good keyboard and let them have it.
Neptus - FFXI - Pandemonium
Neptus - WoW - Detheroc
That's because of the interlock system, whitout it there wouln't be any "bullettime". But you can hit many mobs when you are an hacker.
Yup, it will change....pretty soon. Right now there's an external playtest server where we can test the new functions and bug report the faults etc. Multiinterlocking is kaputt, they will replace it with the combat style that they have in WoW. Zero-zum is gone, which means that you can both deal damage and get damage...so a group of levl 40's will have chance of killing off a levl 50. Check the website for moore (detailed) info
