Very powerful gameplay loop and consistently good overall gameplay experience, though it is mired in a FOMO pay to win "warbond" (call it what it is, a battlepass) system that incentivizes terrible power creep as well as locking the vast majority of new, NON-COSMETIC content behind a paywall in an already expensive game. There have been 18 war bonds worth $180 USD, and 2 war bonds worth $30 usd total, adding up to about an expense of $210 USD to have full access to all of the game's arsenal ON TOP OF a $40 USD price tag. Good gameplay does not excuse the unacceptable level of FOMO and monetization for non-cosmetic items. Providing minimal premium currency drops in game (approximately 1-2% of a warbond per mission) only serves to muddle the discourse of whether YOU should accept these items as being payable to acquire in the first place. A new player must either pay $250 USD to remain competitive with a meta that constantly shifts toward newer items, or play for ~1000 missions on top of the amount required to grind each and every warbond to completion. It's an absurd requirement of a playerbase and should be seen as such.
