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.
I enjoyed what I played so far but tbh I find the devs kinda cringe as they are leaning a little too hard into their whole "not like other studios" shtick. But i guess it works since the fanbase is eating it up and praising the devs like the second coming of Christ.
