Heroes & Generals, the WW2 MMOFPS about stradegy, conquest, and war isn't the amazing and stunning game the trailers and promotional advertising and trailers says it is.
First off, the gameplay is really awkward because it lags alot, the gunsights are really difficult to use and relying on spray and pray rather than strategic accuracy. The game is full of cheaters and people who do cheap moves such as spawn camping with sniper rifle, spawn camping with mines etc. Since the game doesn't have much hack prevention, there are many cheaters who just ruin the game for everyone. Finding a game would take very long have when the game starts, you get a high ping too. BTW, the friendly-fire in this game is infuriating accidently killing teammates by explosives, vehicles, etc. being reported for accidently team killing, and getting killed by someone by accident/a team griefer.

Secondly, the game is Free to play, pay to win because the grind takes so long, you might as well play your other games in your library before getting a weapon/vehicle/upgrade etc. or you can buy the in-game currency which is gold that can rank up and buy stuff faster which gives signifant advantage over other players that don't buy in game currency.

Lastly, Reto-Moto; the developers don't listen to the playerbase and all they care about is getting players to buy gold and in game items instead of making Heroes & Generals a game which is actually fun to play. They just add new weapons/ vehicles/ camoflauge wich almost no one will get since massive price and grinding experience. One time they made all the soldier prices go up by 2 times their original price(this is now returned to original price), which infuriated me because I had to grind plenty of hours for that to happen.

My final thoughts on Heroes & Generals is that Reto-Moto should've focused on making gameplay more fun and actually enjoyable instead of grinding hours to the point of playing hours of triple digit numbers. Reto-Moto should've fixed the servers and matchmaking better with less server issues and matchmaking based on current equipment and skill.
If you are a person who likes WW2 MMOs, then I suggest you play war thunder because despite that game also featuring grinding xp, lag is almost non-existant because it's one of the most relevant games on Steam, it's developers listen to the playerbase, you have the choice of using many vehicles to fight with from ground and air forces. And the gameplay is really smooth and distingished from other WW2 Games out there.

Edit: If there is anything good about this game, it's that it's free so I didn't get ripped off, and the sound track feels true to WW2, Jesper Kyd, you done it right with the soundtrack.
