Trying to get back into this game after a long break is like trying to get your PhD but instead of starting with the basics you're thrown into a lab with concepts you know nothing about and are expected to just "figure it out". Back when this game released I could understand the operators, somewhat understand the maps, and I could have fun, but with the massive catalog of operators now, large amount of maps, and an unfriendly community, it's genuinely miserable. Study or leave, and at this point I'd rather just leave.
There's a good game at the core of this I think. Getting into it NOW feels like a herculean task.
