The mixed reviews are because there isn't much content and it's missing many graphical/UI settings.

The movement is slow like running/walking through mud, the AI is really bad but the fact that 1-2 bullets can kill you masks that fact (they'll stand in the same room with you facing the opposite direction not responding to you moving or shooting at times/squads will plop into an allyway all in a cluster that you can mow down 8 dudes in 2secs/they'll just run into a building you're in over and over getting shot from the same angle not changing tactics/ect), there's only maybe 4 main objectives (secure compound, weapon cache, convoy, and I think the mosque sniper) and a few optional objectives (sniper, mortar team, vbied), there's no weapon customization, no progression, despite procedural map generation it's not that insane because it's basically the same buildings just different layouts on the interiors and having slightly different maps each time doesn't change the fact your doing the same very few objectives every match.

The more you play the more you'll see the patterns in the game. Beyond 5-10hrs of playing there isn't much to keep you going aside from a fanatical obsession with a iraq war setting.

It's not to say the game's concept isn't promising and it isn't fun but if you're looking for a game you can dump 40-50-100hrs into then this is not it right now. Buying it right now is more of an investment in it's future potential and not so much for the game it currently is.

There's no doubt that if it is updated and content is added it will become a far better game.

The reason why there's mixed reviews is because you're basically paying $40 for Idk maybe 10-15hrs of fun currently unless like I said you are obsessed with a Iraq war/fallujah setting. The reason why people are being so aggressive about other's pointing this out is because they're in the honeymoon phase coming off of playing a few matches and being immersed not realizing 2 days from now they'll be playing something else because the game has gotten stale.

It's honeymoon phase hype for the most part. But like I said it has a great concept, great setting, great source material, and great bones, it's just not there yet.

Watch in 3-4 days a lot of people will change their reviews once they get over the initial hype.

Thank you that was a comprehensive way to summarize it up.

I'll wait for a couple of updates before buying, especially at the current 40$ price tag.

If the map and the enemies you fight change every time you start a mission it isnt the same mission is it? Come on, its big brain time here.

but they are the same mission archetypes, it doesn't matter that the levels are procedurally generated you will still be doing the same things on those emissions, just with different layouts and enemy placement.

which other similar games do the latter already by changing where enemies will spawn or set up ambushes and traps.

that doesn't justify a $40 price tag.

I bought Squad for $40 and that game has evolved with lots of content over the years.

Sounds like this game should have been $20-25 dollars. I'll keep an eye on it.

Ok, i'm not buying until more updates will come out, i'm also broke

Haven't sprung for this yet, but it seems to me that, given what we know about the state of the game, there is a good time to be had for hardcore tactical enthusiasts, and, though there aren't many maps, they are procedurally generated, which well help some with replayability until the game is completed. However, sounds like there are some bugs showing up that dampen the experience a bit. All that said, you will be shelling over 40 dollars for an early access title, so you have to weight that as well. A bit of a gamble, but might be worth it.

Great write up to answer the question but I'll address 2 points about the game. Movement will be slow, the interceptor vest with plates and a full loadout weighs a ridiculous amount. Not to mention the fact that they haven't added packs with all the extra stuff that a regular fireteam will be carrying. You're not going to be sprinting around at mach Jesus speeds (I get you aren't talking that fast, just an example). Also, there was no real changing your kit on the line in the early 2000s. What you were issued is what you carried and used.

Too pricey for an EA and what you get (a buggy demo). Developers currently across the board are taking liberties.

[Dodger]

actually pretty terrible game, mechanics are garbage, they said they talked to combat vets about the details, but i am a combat vet and i cant get a clue, no weapon choices (aiming on the secondary off an Acog is a joke, pistol goes into strange "low ready" but not low ready, you can only run it seems if you look straight ahead and stupid voice lines really put it in the dumpster for me, could of been a great game if they gave you weapon mod options, movement was better and they gave you time to wander into a war zone but the MINUTE you deploy....rounds everywhere, great concept....terrible follow through and the worst part is there are some great aspects to the game but how a game "feels" is the final assessment.....and this game just feels terrible, sort of like RON,....where you put your life on the line in a dynamic environment and EVERYONE can run...But YOU,...its a joke at this point, along with the fact that games now take 10 years to make i have about 6 games in my library.......RON is the ONLY one that is complete and that's a joke in itself. save your money and WAIT about a year if this game is still even on anyone's radar.
THE GOOD: great environment and sound.
