If you’re even halfway decent at FPS games, be prepared for 6-star matchmaking hell. Once you hit that level, you’ll face the most toxic, tryhard, and sweaty players who treat every match as if their lives depend on it. I’ve played a lot of shooters at a high level, but I’ve never encountered a community as full of overzealous, no-life players as this one.

If you take a break from the game—even for a year—matchmaking won’t reset to ease you back in. Instead, you’ll get thrown right back in with the same sweat-soaked tryhards, each of them probably running on 5 liters of G-Fuel. This isn’t the game it used to be. What was once a unique and fun experience has turned into a swamp of toxic, neck-bearded, sweatlord nonsense.

And to make things worse, the devs seem clueless. Rather than balancing the game, they’re focused on battle passes, skins, and forcing console-style UI onto PC players. Meanwhile, SBMM (skill-based matchmaking) ensures you’re stuck in sweat mode forever.

TL;DR: Great game concept, ruined by a community of tryhards and developers with misplaced priorities.
