OK I am going to start this off with something a little controversial, I really do not like what they are doing with this game. The newer updates do not look very promising at first glance. I really do hope that they are great updates and push this game into the direction where everyone enjoys it. I think that their first mistake was changing the recoil way long ago. I think that is what kept the game competitive and an accurate skill gap. Even though the skill ceiling was very high, there was a very large spectrum of skill you could have and that is what made it special. Then they switched it to an easier recoil to help newer people get into the game but it kind of destroyed all of the true competitiveness about the gunplay. The aim cone is a little ridiculous, I should not be having to rely on RNG to be able to hit my shots. There still is a slight bit of skill needed but I think that it might be a little too easy. Maybe add old recoil as a setting on some servers (same with old gun sounds, the newer gun sounds are more like toys and not real firearms). I have kind of gotten used to it by now and it definitely could be worse. I also think we should get rid of wall meta, I do think its a core mechanic baked into peoples brains at this point but if there was no wall meta then it would force people to have better positioning and not just run around in the open and when they get shot once they instantly wall. Another glaring issue is the new kevlar update and the playermodel update. Personally I am not the biggest fan of how the models look and it seems the community feels the same way. I do not think facepunch should go back to the old models maybe just tweak the ones we have now. Kevlar is a big issue, it causes the gap between prim and geared to be too much. If it was the same spawn rate as full heavy pot it really would not be the worst, but I think I see it way too much. It should not take 3 headshots to down a person with kevlar. I think the armor was perfect where it was and did not have to be changed. My last topic is cheaters, I have not seen any blantant spinbotting flyhacking pure aimbot cheaters before and that is good! But there are way too many people scripting or soft cheating. We need to find a way to get rid of these cheaters to make the game more fair. This game has been out for a very long time and they have the tech and knowledge on how to make a better anticheat but they just don't. I really do love this game and I hate to see constant bash about it and its updates, I really do think the devs are trying their hardest to make the crowd happy but sometimes it backfires hard. If you want a good fun game to stay up late playing with some friends with some pvp and fun grinding this game is definitely for you. I just hope it survives long enough for you to be able to play it.
