Early Access Review
I have yet to come across any "cheats" in this game. Most people complaining about rampant hacks are probably poorly positioned and think they died to hacks when really they're getting shot from someone they didnt expect to be someplace.
Game is addicting, and a blast in squads. Servers do have issues but as early access and with as many people on every region all the time its popularity isnt by mistake.
Computer intensive.

Now to update my review since the addition of first person mode and the issue of bans:

First person is WAY better than third person. No safe camping, no third person camera LOS abuse, fights are more dynamic and skill based in first person. Again, just my opinion on that matter.

Microtransactions and Cosmetic items: The micro transactions people are complaining about were for charity and to fund the Gamescom Tourney. Those crates are now out of game, but you needed the Key to open them, so you paid 2.50 for a key. now you can get them on marketplace, both the left over hoarded Gamescom crates, and the keys, or buy the key from within the game....(that was a headache.....took a week to get the key i purchased in game, where as the key i purchased on steam marketplace was in my inventory as soon as i refreshed the lobby UI)

Many are saying the camo cosmetic items give an advantage.....because they are idiots. the only thing you can get in game that acts like real camo IS the Ghillie, from airdrops. The camo clothes, while saying "Camo" do not make you blend in. You can spot someone wearing all camo cosmetic items attainable through BP just as easily as you can spot a nakes person, or someone wearing all white. Even if you get grey camo combat pants, and the grey camo coat etc, they arent even the same pattern. And you can still see the guy wearing all the camo from range in your scope.....please stop crying about camo clothes already. They provide 0 benefit.
Also someone posted that there will be no free crates after EA. They provide a currency in game. There will always be crates that you can purchase using that currency. please stop being stupid. seriously.

Bans: Many people within the reviews are giving negative marks because they or a friend "one time only" honked at a streamer while they killed them etc etc. They want to say they are catering to the streamers and banning anyone who kills them for harrassment or stream sniping etc. Also many people are saying its impossible to stream snipe in a game that has a randomized lobby.

Here are some facts: They dont ban you just because you killed someone one time or honked your horn while a streamer was playing. They only ban you when its shown via metrics that you are indeed joining and leaving matches untill you are in the lobbies with those streamers, then proceeding to stream snipe and harrass them. Its not impossible to do, its easy, especially when you can join and exit and join and exit multiple times to enter the same lobby as the person you see on stream before the 1:00 min timer begins or before the match is totaly full.

People do this. They do it a lot. And its not a one time offence that gets you banned, or reported. its after multiple games that the person is killed by the same people in the same manner and blaring the horn to purposefully harrass someone that they hit report. Then they cheg your logged data, and notice your activity and ban if warranted.

Ive killed a couple streamers recently and didnt get banned. I also stole one guys UAZ then when he shot at me, i turned around honked my horn and ran him over. Maybe its because in VOIP i said "sorry man didnt know it was you but i need this ride!" not just sitting there blaring the horn to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

To bring this to a close, they dont ban you just because you did something one time against a streamer, but only when a trend of occurance is noted. The microtransactions were for a good cause, and provide 0 in game benefit other than looking awesome before you cover it all with armor, anyone crying about bans probably earned it, and this game is still great fun.

I have a few hours logged in and would have had more if my work hours didnt get crazy for the last month and a half.

Im not an awesome player, but im also not an exploiter or stream sniper or general douchebag in the lobby so maybe thats why my overall experience when matched against streamers is better than those who claim banned for no reason.

I recommend the game, still, and unless they go p2w by adding weapons to a cash shop i will continue to recommend it.
