Review at capacity. Please try again later.

I'm sure the game is great and I doubt either Sony or Arrowhead could predict how insanely successful their launch has been, but the server capacity issues prevent me from recommending this game to others. I will happily change my tune once the game is actually consistently playable.

EDIT: The game is consistently playable now, and oh my goodness, I am beyond impressed with the work of the developers. They essentially tripled the capacity of their servers in less than two weeks. That's insane. Very excited for the upcoming fixes!

EDIT 2: The game is consistently playable (though some times are more consistent than others), and I'm still impressed with the work of the developers. However, this game has basically been a constant two steps forward while taking one and a half steps back.

Launch: super fun but unbalanced, low server capacity, armor did not work

Stability fixes: fun and consistently playable, most weapons/tacticals were still unviable. However, there is hope - mechs incoming. Super hyped.

Post balance patch: most weapons and strats are viable (even the railgun), but enemies spawns were stealth buffed to be double what they were previously. Significantly less fun or fair to fight.

Arrival of mechs: we have mechs, and they're fun, but they also kinda suck. They cannot be resupplied, you only get two per mission every 10 minutes, and regular rocket troops can insta-gib them.

This game is constantly, agonizingly short of being something great. I love it, and I hate it.

EDIT 3: new warbonds drop with extremely fun and potent weapons, which are immediately nerfed because of how popular they are... what?

EDIT 4: PSN account now REQUIRED for play. Are you serious? I can't even play the game now!

EDIT 5: Sweet liberty we actually did it! PSN account no longer required lol. Now we need to get back on track and fix all the other issues like anemic game balance, broken enemy spawning, a buff to mechs, etc. I've never switched my review from positive to negative so many times.
