Ok so this is a hard review for me to do and is quite long because i have put 3,400 Hours in this game. I own mostly every item in this game I have played with the developers, (which are amazing guys), and have experience so much in this game. I have met some awesome people and invested four great years in this this game. It was once the best FPS's I have ever played and still to this day I have yet to see any game match the level of customization this game has which to offer. For the first 2 years of the game since its release, it was amazing, never had I seen such amazing quality for a free to play but after they did a PS4 port on the game it went downhill from there on. Now they fixed old issues but lost many other great features which made this game so much fun before the port.

We used to have a player bought custom servers, an inventory system, a trade system, guns that had true balance and the most important thing I think, which was a huge amazing community full of skilled, helpful players and developers who were very active in the community. I have spent around $200 in-game for servers and skins but not for performance. This game was at its bare core rewards those who grind but can be pay to win for those who cannot spend the time. To its core however, it is a true free to play with a good amount of balance. However now since they ported the new update from PS4, I can't say this game is even great for wasting time.

Its private servers are broken 90% of the time, they kept the customization of guns and armor but made heroes (Toons that are premade) only cosmetic where before they had a purpose. They made certain helms that did different things to your stats cosmetic as well the optimization isn’t what it should be, guns do not have recoil, the old players and clans have basically become non-existent due to leaving because of the port. I own an old clan from this game, we are 4 years old and 80% of my clan will not play this game anymore because of the port. The community isn’t as friendly as it once was, nor do people help each other as they did.

Now they did add more zombie levels to OS (Onslaught, basically a PVE Zombie mode) but they took a game mode called siege away, which was a game mode where 2 teams faced each other to protect a tank to its destination or destroy it before it reached it’s target way before “Dirty Bomb” did. The servers are very laggy compared to “pre-parity” some days are almost unplayable and the GP (Free in-game currency) prices have been raised from what they were so it is more of a grind, but for people like me who own most items it doesn’t affect us. It doesn’t help they implemented a prestige system to this game recently, which in my opinion adds a nice touch and end-game. However after you reach prestige 30, you receive no more rewards beside more prestige. Otherwise there is no real objective that drives you to play beside steam achievements.
The way prestige works is that every 10 prestige levels you get up to presteige 30, you get a piece of golden default armor (which I have) but to conclude this review, this was once an amazing game; I have great pleasure and honor of being a part of it. I hope that one day this game will be what it once was. I really hated writing this review because this game had a special place in my heart and many others. To see such a truly amazing game die the way it has, it saddens me more than words can express. I would recommend this game but for the time being i just can't... That alone is very hard to say.

(To ALF and Domino I am sorry for this review I know you guys have done a ton for this game and I thank you so much for your dedication with it and I hope to see this game be what it once was or even better.)

Thank you for reading this and for your time. (I hope it helps)
