Okay I used to love this game, but Splash Damage does so many things wrong, I just had to uninstall at this point. Splash Damage just doesn't have a clue, what they wanna do with this game.

First they tried to be a competitive easy to learn hard to master game. Something everyone would have appreciated and loved. I am just not quite sure if they know what it means to be competitive focused.

I have no idea who has those balance ideas, but that guy clearly needs to be replaced. If someone wants to tell me they listen to the community, it clearly is the wrong side of the community. Skins and events are nice and prob important to make any revenue, but nobody I know really wants them. We want balancing and bug fixes. There is no point in selling skins if there is no player base.

And if SD decides to make a balance updates, you just ask yourself while reading through the notes:"wait wut? Who complained about this?". They recently tried to balance shotgun, sniper and burst weapons. Well, I can't say they didn't sledgehammer 2/3 of them. I can't deny that all 3 of these weapon types needed a balance in some way. I can however deny that these changes make the game more balanced.

Sniping just transformed to a defensive camping playstyle otherwise you will lose no matter what. There is no reason to play sniper anymore, I mean any auto assault rifle can do the same just better and faster. They could give snipers a faster instagib again, making playing sniper again worth it in some way.

Burst fire got a huge hit, but I mean it was clearly broken. In close and medium range it is still good but you can't snipe anymore. Thank you SD

Shotgun got no changes from my view, it is even more broken if you can aim a bit.

So now the point is: Assault rifles like Timik, M4 and hochfir are so much better in any aspect, there is literally no reason to play anything besides them. If you can't aim just go for shotgun and you will get some kills in no time. You can't even aim a little bit? No worries Proxy with any shotgun and the perk "lock on" is the merc to go with.

This game still has a huge potential, the question is: Will it ever reach it? The player base is clearly dying everyday a new player appears, 2 veterans disappear.

EDIT 18.01.18: Nothing changed yet, so I'll just edit this review every time SD released or is about to release an update.

EDIT 18.12.29: Well the game died as expected, not even surprised.
