Insane Upgrade. Game itself was already 20 years ahead of it's time, now the visuals match our time too.

I like the musicians of the game

Hi there, Platinum Scrub speaking.

I've been playing the game for quiet a long time and since there are the steam-awards I thought it would be a good time to give a review. I'm not a dev myself or so but please just take it as a critical opinion folks.
Feel free to read it but I think it's pretty accurate :)

!!! Short Version: Game's good but should be improved!!!

But if you have too much time in your hands:


+Gameplay
°It normally feels very smooth and pretty to play
°It has a very big variety to the playstyle. There are a lot of team comps you can do and doesn't feel so bland like CS:GO
°The games feels a lot more tactical than other games.
°The concept of destroying and reinforcing makes things spicy
°The game is pretty noob-friendly (at least if you don't buy the starter edition)
°Club Rewards make the game a bit more complete
°The game feels somewhat realistic with a futuristic touch
°TTS is a good way for players to test things out,for pro teams to build up strategies and for content creators to make
videos
°Updates are free, only reason to get dlc is for players who are impatient, such as me


+Maps
°Some of the maps are very fun to play
°Map rotation in ranked and casual are pretty well balanced. Didn't get the same maps 2 times in a row for a long time
°I think it's good, that the unbalanced maps still rest in casual and that they divide them from ranked

+Fun and Experience
°The game is very addictive and makes fun to play solo or with friends
°The community is usually very kind and memeful (except for g1, p3, p2 and dia)
°I think it's also good, that there is no trade market for skins. You don't have to buy them if they're too expensive for ya

+Operators, Weapons and Gadgets
°Most Operators have their unique weapons which make the choice easier to main a specific one
°Flash Hider, Muzzle Break, Compensator and Suppressor actually have their differences.
°Weapons are control


BUT

It could use many adjustments to make the game better.

-Gameplay
°Still getting into Rankeds with big rank differences
°There are very few game modes and events, the only thing people play is either bomb or secure area
°Joining ongoing games in casual is just annoying sometimes. How many times does some join to ongoing rounds, with
scoreboard being 2: 2

-Operator Balancing
°Not that too many ops are too strong, but a lot are too weak and underused. RIP bosg
°Ash's head still doesn't exist
°Lion is still too strong
°Dokkaebi's full auto choices too limited, sidearms not reliable
°Clash got nerfed too much, win/pick delta shows it all
°Vigil's gadget seems too useless as well, his gun's good at least.
°Why is Kaid's Shotgun a better than Glaz' sniper riffle?
°Tachanka and his memes are dead
°I think yall get what I'm trying to say

-Bug Fixing
°Ubisoft claims to be fixing bugs, but they still appear during gameplay.

-Alpha Packs
°Frustrating, Last 70 Packs or so just garbage or duplicates of garbage

-Community and Chat (Text Filtering)
°You should be able to swear sometimes and it should be totally okay. As soon as no race gets discriminated it's all good
°At least add some more report options such as Toxic behavior, griefing, spamming, hate speech etc.
°And then there shouldn't be a playtime penalty but a chat-ban penalty.
°It took way too long to implement text chat muting

-Sound
°Sound immersion has to be fixed, especially in close quarters. Even though I have 7.1 i still hear ♥♥♥♥ from every direction
°If there is a tiny hole in a destroyable wall, you can hear everything from it, it feels like you're inside of it

-Weapons and Attachements
°They didn't want to have the defenders as snipers, therefor they removed alot of ACOGs. But why does kaid get such a
damn sick one?
°The Long Barrel is just straight up useless and needs to be upgraded, replaced or just removed.
°Mobility on 50 is still just saying nothing
°Spray patterns on guns are still not accurate
°More variety in the guns of the basic Operators
°The Russian ACOG still looks like a huge disco ball and it is way harder to aim with it

-Maps in Casual and Ranked
°They destroyed Hereford base. They should either remove it from ranked or revert the changes.
°Where the hell is University?
°All maps kinda feel the same all the time

Even Though the game could be improved a lot more, I still enjoy to play it and it has a lot of potential.

gud game to git gud
