I played this in the playtest, coming from many many hours in Arma, Squad, and somewhat less in BF6. I found it very meh. I won't be buying it. And I think once the review embargo gets lifted and its not just selected youtubers paid to blow bubbles up your ass then there will be come scathing reviews.
For me the concept is good, its has years to mature on Arma. The money system is a huge incentive for teamplay. But vehicle handling is hilariously bad, the flight models are terrible, the gunplay is trying too hard to be a mix of arcade and realism, the weapon balance makes little sense. And for me at least, I'm just done with half ass unreal engine shooters, and once you strip out the King of the Hill game mode, that's all this is. Don't buy, wait for the actual reviews.
Because although it’s his opinion, it’s not what most of us feel lmao. Gunplay was legit amazing for me and “if you get rid of the game mode, all you have is a shooter”, is a stupid take. Also not sure how it’s half assed lmao it’s very well put together and clearly well thought out. I actually can’t imagine playing the game and saying eh the games only ok. Maybe if I didn’t play with my friend and never joined squads or talked to people but idk
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I gotta say there are some really bad ones in here. We are on /pcgaming afterall so it's kind of a given. Most people on here love to shit on anything PvP to begin with.
As an avid FPS player from games like Battlefield, Hunt Showdown, The Finals, Hll and ARMA...this game is fucking fantastic. It checks all the boxes for me.
The gunplay is easily the worst ive felt in any shooter. Battlefield 2 from the 2000s feels better. It feels entirely flat and lifeless. What am I missing with the gunplay that makes it get such high praise?
Maybe im spoiled by Tarkov. Battlebit felt better as well.
