Not gonna say this is a bad game, just not for me. At it's best this game is fun. A symphony of chaos as two huge teams duke it out, RPGs flying, buildings being blown apart, while a radio tower collapses in the distance.

The game is rarely like this. 98% of the time it's basically playing hardcore COD on a big map. TTKs are extremely low so most fights decided by who saw the other first. Select weapons like the UMP, Vector, M4A1 that can be modded to not recoil like a wild mule vastly outclass the numerous that do. You'll quickly notice that about half the population is running around with the same ~5 weapons because guns that land their bullets will always outclass ones that don't no matter how the DPS or whatever other 'mathematical balance' pencils out on paper. Snipers take you out from a km away, at least you can try to spot and ping them for your team to ignore and it doesn't seem like they contribute much to the match, still infuriating. Bunch of maps but the community picks the same 5 over and over. Occasionally the comms are hilarious, but usually it's someone yelling into the cheapest microphone imaginable, preventing you from hearing the footsteps of the enemy soldiers running in the back door of the building you're occupying.

Still more fun than any Battlefield I've played in the past 15 years. If you like the type of game and can just accept that random bullets from someone 300 yards away are going to by fluke chance embed themselves in your skull, or you're going to step on a landmine in a bush that you had no way of seeing, or someone's going to walk up behind you and kill you before you can even turn 180 degrees, a lot, you'll probably enjoy it. But it's not for me.
