Further Info (Based on patch v1.14)
CONS

- Bugs (I will not go into detail because the list will be endless, but will put a category for bugs):
-- Game breaking bugs (e.g. Infinite ammo, infinite flash stacks etc..)
-- Console commands that can be considered cheats, which also works in official PvP servers
-- Map exploits that haven't been patched for several years
-- Performance issues, and keeps on declining
-- Servers are utterly broken (Packet loss, lagging, rubber-banding, high pings, low hit-reg)
-- Every patch brings several new bugs, even more than features
-- Bugged SFX (Foot steps, weapon ricochet, silencer)
-- Bugged explosion effects (you can hide behind a 20CM pipe and take 0 dmg from grenades or C4s, but you can also die from a grenade in direct eyesight that is so far away you can barely even see it)
-- Bugged party system, and keeps on degrading in stability

- Animations, Assets & Models
-- Several animations have been broken for reloading and character model
-- Unrealistic slow animations for reloading, switching weapons. (e.g. it takes about 4 seconds to switch weapons and shoot an RPG but you can pick up a weapon from the floor in the speed of light, makes no sense at all)
-- Some vaulting animations can get further tweaks
-- Client-side smoke

PROS

- Game-play
-- Excellent mix between arcade and hardcore FPS
-- Immersive
-- Fast paced
-- Quick TTK (Can kill from 1 bullet)
-- 14/14 server slots

- No P2W
-- Doesn't exist, DLCs are purely cosmetics
-- No battle-pass
-- No Boosters

- Classes
-- Wide variety of classes to choose from (Rifles, shotguns, heavy MGs, RPGs, C4s, explosives, .50 cal snipers etc.
-- Commander/Observer for air support
-- Loadouts and custom outfit slots

- Maps
-- Lots of maps, and each map has a different layout based on the game modes
-- Maps are rather big and feel like an actual location (Some players hate this because you have to run for a long distance to reach objectives)

- Game modes
-- Several game modes to choose from but most of them are dead, the most populated being Push but the most fun being Frontline
-- Weekly modifiers
-- 3x XP occurs often on weekends, applies to all maps

- Progress
-- Means nothing other than a shiny level next to your name and in-game cosmetic unlocks
-- Can purchase cosmetics with points you earn by playing



As of patch v1.14, I do not recommend this game at all.

If you want to buy the game, make sure you are at least buying on sale and do not pay full price.

The game is barely getting any new content other than cosmetics. A "major" patch is usually just 2 weapons and a map.
The game is infested with exploiters (and often cheaters when it is on sale)
The game has no future in terms of road maps, although they have announced Year-3 support with content, I doubt they will be adding anything game changing.

Its fun, but its also... broken. You only notice how broken it is after playing at least 50 hours, which is, in my honest opinion, the bare minimum to start understanding the game (Map spots, weapons, tactics, pushing, team play, comms, etc...)
