As much as I'd like to like this game (and I do), I can't support it due to several glaring problems.

The first is how expensive everything is. It certainly strikes me as pay to win, it takes hours grinding up even individual mods, and to top it off, they depreceate and must be repaired, or special ammo types must be replenished. It's a game that has too many rewards for paid players, and as someone who really has no problem spending money on games, the fact that it was trying to force me to do it so much turned me off pretty quickly.

There also seems to be a lack of guns, and moreso because beyond 2 guns you can get initially (the semi-automatic rifle or the smg) the rest are trapped behind paywalls or level-ups that will take days if not weeks to obtain. Not enough choice beyond having a hamburger or a cheeseburger.

Finally, the matchmaking is very poor, and that's why I can't recommend the game. Several times tonight I was put on teams with people rank 1-3 against people ranked 7+. They clearly outgunned the teams, had access to things like tanks (when no one on my team even had access to anti-tank weapons), and could just camp objectives with tanks and we ended up losing very quickly. When I first came to the game, the Nazi's lost 9 games in a row, even when I played as Nazi's and had k/d ratios of 5:1 (and pushing objectives). The game isn't well balanced.

As far as positives, the combat itself is great. A minimal HUD lends well to the long distance combat. Shooting is difficult and takes patience, skill, and a steady hand. The maps are well done and many times I had a great time fighting big battles over objectives, with a constant back and forth attack/defend going on in the domination style skirmish mode. Even though you only get two weapons by default, both of them perform really well at their role, and seem well balanced.

All in all, this looked like such a great addition to the WW2 FPS style genre, but it really falls flat with balancing issues in matchmaker and pay to win access to skills and weapons. As much as I want to love it, it still needs work.
