I haven't had much time in the game so far but I still want to give my early look at the game.

The game is extremely fun and rewarding especially as you go higher into the difficulties. the first few missions feels way to easy but it ramps up quickly but oh man it's so satisfying to see the little (and huge) bugs just melt or explode into litle kebab pieces!

People are clanking down on a sort of pay to win (P2W) with the premium warbonds shop. to begin with.. it's 3 stages in it and it offers you a total of 6 guns that has special ammo in it (incendiary, explosive) etc but man.. they really DON'T do that much of a difference at least not in the lower difficulties and as you progress further in the game you unlock stronger weapons anyways and you are at times forced to use the ships systems to kill targets easier which is a nice mechanic.

If you buy the citizens version of the game you also automatically get the premium warbonds shop included with a better armor at the get go but it really doesn't make that much off a difference. I have tried both with the standard edition guns and armor as well as the citizens armor and weapon, I didn't feel at all like I was OP strong or anything so that is just a load of crap.

Short judgement so far.. is the game worth it? YES

PROs
*Active and tense gameplay at higher difficulty
*Multiple stages of difficulty that adds in more and more objectives to complete
*Ammo management is a nice change from other titles and can get you into dicy situations real quick at higher difficulty
*Multiple objectives you can opt to complete
*Timelimit for every drop meaning even if you don't have much time to play you don't have to do more than the main objective in order to complete the mission.

CONs
*SOS System seems to not be working as it should, tried using it several times and usually get a fail to connect notice 4/5 tries, however it finds a new game every 2 seconds so not a big deal and probably just a bug that will be sorted shortly (the game is only 24h old..)
*Requisition shop seems bugged, it tells you to hold left mouse button to claim items with your tokens but nothing happens, only seen it happen in the requisition shop and probably just another bug or I am doing something wrong.
*Friendly fire is on even if you don't want to. Although this is a nice change too and adds complexity to the game unless you play with people you know there are those who like to troll and just randomly melee you into enemies off a ledge or downright kills you to get a weapon you found on the ground and stuff.. or just wants to see what happens I guess if they shoot you.
*Crashes, sometimes when you are changing armor or loadout and stuff the game crashes, only happened to me twice but it's just annoying as you sometimes have to change the things you were doing again but it will most likely be patched out too in just a few hours.

At first I thought the game would be yet another COD wannabe but I was dead wrong!

I've been playing FPS shooters since Half-Life 1 and the first Counter-strike and this change of pace in an FPS is so welcome. You need to plan ahead and be cautious of the tight corners or you will end up sitting on the bench watching everyone else play every round.

PRO's:
+ Stunning environments and lushfull details
+ Lots of operators, makes it easy to find your playstyle
+ Quick matches
+ Tactical play
+ Loads of customization options of both guns and operators
+ Great anti-cheater system
And much more ofc.

CON's:
- People randomly leave in casual play but does not get a penalty for this behaviour
- People are extremely toxic but there does not seem to be any punishment for this behaviour
- Metas, people will scold you in ranked gameplay for choosing an operator that is not included in the current meta and therefor considered a bad option and not for teamplay.

Overall judgement:
Great game that offers the old school view of an FPS game where tactical awareness is key to winning. Drone out the environment, breach with flashbangs and stun grenades. Walk in behind a shield wielding friend and take out the bad guys.

If you want a real life experience of being a swat or special forces unit then this game is the closest you will get.
