If you like super-realistic gameplay like ARMA, fast-paced action like CoD, strategic team play like Battlefield or CSGO, then this game is the Messiah of video games. I got this game for free over a year ago and I find myself constantly returning to play it despite owning many new games over that time. The intense fun that this game delivers puts triple A titles to shame. This game is $15 bucks, and the devs give out free content all the time. They have no paid DLC. Free maps, free weapons, tons of fun. I feel as if I stole this game by getting it for free from humble bundle. It's worth far more than $15, not to mention it's constantly going on sale!

Let's look at all the content this $15 game gives you:
Countless maps(with more coming)
Several awesome and balanced guns(with possibly more coming further down the line)
Online PvP
Online PvE
Offline PvE
Tonnes of gamemodes(with occasional additions of new game modes)
Legal Workshop mods

Let's not forget that the PvP and PvE modes are almost two entirely different beasts in this game. In PvP you have to face other players, using advanced tactics and teamwork to outsmart your enemies to win in a game where map knowledge and tactics are key. While PvE deals with 4-12 players(and more on custom servers) facing off against VERY SMART bots in several different game modes different from PvP. That's right, both PvP and PvE have their own unique set of game modes to give more content!

PvE may sound pretty easy, but I assure you the bots are not stupid by any means. They are easily the smartest bots of any shooter I've played. They know how to take cover, retreat, fight in groups, pre fire, how to properly place grenades and rockets, how to locate gunshots, and more! These AI are almost as good as other human beings playing the game. It makes for a load of fun and challenging missions, often times leaving a more rewarding victory than PvP modes.

Finally, the thing that gives this game even MORE content: making the game truly yours through workshop mods. Yes, almost all workshop mods are available for use in PvP and PvE modes(player model changes can only be used in PvE however). You can apply gun camos, player camos(to clarify, camos are allowed in PvP, but not changes to the models themselves), sight remodels, and even gun replacements. For example, you can "replace" the AK-74 with the AK-12. Or you can make your Security team soldiers have a US Navy SEAL camo. Let's not forget sound mods! Yes, sound mods are in the game as well. I recommend the realistic sound mod and the all-time Classic "Allahu ackbar" mod, which makes Insurgents scream the phrase when throwing explosives.

So as anyone can see, this game is a boatload of fun, and it truly gives far more to the player than any other game I've played. No microtransactions, not a lot of misbalance, good optimization, and most decent rigs can run it. If you're into shooters, especially more tactical and realistic ones, then you'd be a fool not to buy this game.

11/10.
