Updated review (2016 version):

One of the best tactical first person shooters I've played in a long time, extremely satisfying and tense; the First Season is now fully released and this game kept surprising me over the year, it added 4 new maps for free and 8 operators, which can be purchased with in-game currency.

If you are craving for a tactical/teamwork oriented game to play, look no further, the community is still active and the game is constantly on sale, bringing an influx of new players; and now with the announcement of another year of support (Season 2) things can only get better.

The game does have microtransations in the form of Skins and Uniforms; but considering that the gameplay altering updates are free it doesn't bother me, I rather have cosmetic stuff that doesn't affect me than having to pay for maps that split the community.

I recommend you play this one with a decent headset, sound is key in this game, sometimes people think you are hacking because of this! ;)

Pros:

- Amazing mechanics
- Great Community
- Well Optimized
- Teamwork oriented

Cons:

- Some matchmaking issues still remain
- Forced Uplay integration (3rd party DRM) might bother some
