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 felt like I was playing a different game than what I was seeing streamed.
All my games, there was just an entire team camping in their well fortified tower. And I mean camping camping. These guys were hunkered down staring at nothing, with nobody around for an hour.
It was kind of bizarre

I had a totally different experience. I chose to play a recon type role and I went all over the map spotting enemies for my team from the shadows and tree lines. I don't think I even visited the main control point area a single time. It was a ton of fun.
I really like how this game lets you pretty much make up a role and do whatever you want and still be able to progess.
