Worth a try -- its free to play -- but the majority of people still left playing the game have many more hours, certs (free xp based currency) and implants (pay to win loot based mechanic) that give them an inherent advantage over you. The skill ceiling is very high and its a steep climb.

The population is dwindling and the updates feel less and less significant as time goes on, not addressing long standing issues with the game, such as Oshur (one of the maps) is not enjoyable and introducing new (albeit usually very minor) new issues, like sights on a pistol being randomly broken for months. There are the occasional hackers flying around killing everyone, sometimes just exploiters bugging into walls, the report system is seemingly broken or unstaffed and all of this leads to a generally unrewarding gaming experience.

Best way to describe this is sci-fi arma3/battlefield 3 mix on a (previously) massive scale. Overall I love this game but I would NOT recommend it to the average gamer.
