The game definitely needs some work still.
Constantly questioning where and how you got shot from as you're running out of your HQ. No safe zones even within the HQ which opens you up to spawn camping galore. And because the HQ spawns don't change location you don't have a fighting chance at being able to flick on the camper. make it so there are multiple spawns within the HQ.

Engineers not being able to place their utilities anywhere actually functional. Believe it or not, vastly open fields don't count. When im walking around with my wrench out for 10 minutes trying to find a PERFECTLY flat zone to place something like a bunker, for example, without a doubt ruins my immersion. We should be able to have it where the wrench items build INTO pre-existing entities. like a wall...or tilled SLIGHTLY uneven soil or a grassy knoll.

Sniper squads should have the choice of being able to switch from scout to sniper. Why am i being punished when I load into the game first? Why can't I change from scout to sniper if I've made a squad already? Once a scout squad has been made your chances are nil-all to actually get into said (normally locked) squad and participate as a sniper...which means I specifically have to coordinate with friends I have outside of the game (using Discord or TS) so that at JUST the right time we can get one.

The audio and even the gunplay in this game leave a sour taste in my mouth. Constantly misshearing where people are walking or just straight up NOT hearing footsteps when they are behind you is infuriating to say the least. Gunplay feel's disconnected from movement like you wouldn't believe, promoting most people to just camp in one spot until the other gives in and attempts to push. Take a wild guess how that turns out.

Not to mention that since the update they did a couple of days ago hit reg is off and reloading glitches on you, which means that all of the most important low level weapons (Bolt Actions) that most beginners get have become almost if not completely unviable.
When people kill you you don't see who did. Which means if there IS a hacker in your server you won't be any the wiser as to who it is. A simple "You were killed by Insert Username" would be a phenomenal step in giving your playerbase some peace of mind.

I really did try to enjoy this game...but man...coming from hours of Squad it's difficult for me to see anything but the negatives in this game. If you're looking for a decent WW2 game this is about as real as it gets. but the drawbacks make it tough for me to want to recommend this to my friends who play Squad or games alike.
