A number of things just ruin this game:

1. Maps - they're tiny in many cases. It feels claustrophobic often. The feel of a lot of the fun BF3/4 maps is gone

2. Bots. They're useless for 90% of the match. They won't revive you. They won't perform well. They drive tanks and do nothing with them. If there's an APC, they pile into it and just sit there. Then SUDDENLY when tickets get low, they'll pile onto an objective. It leads to incredibly uneven matches...and the QUANTITY of bots means that in the casual modes you're playing with maybe 10 humans.

3. Ping. You'll get matched with people who may be on another continent. Often I'll see 4-5 people with the high ping icon on their name, and in the way they play it seems obvious that they're high ping - they materialize around a corner and have dumped a magazine in you in under a second. When there's match matching going on, I expect EA to not put me with people who have atrocious ping.

4. Crossplay. I don't want it, as a PC player I want it turned off. I'd rather not play with console players that get aim assist...but there's no way to do that on the PC it seems. Only console players can turn it off.

5. Gun balance. A lot of the default guns aren't great, and the way kills happen doesn't feel "fun". A LMG putting3-3-4 rounds into someone won't kill them, but someone can come up to me with and SMG and magdump. I'm sorry but the reality is that a couple rifle rounds up close do kill.

6. Bunny hopping and dolphin diving appear to be encouraged. It makes the game feel more like COD.

Balance of missions is janky at best. Enemies have infinite ammunition (of course) and you only ever have one magazine. Plenty of enemies have guns but when they die, won't drop the gun or ammunition. Oh, and when you throw a knife or a hammer and it misses - cool, pick it up. If you throw it and it hits someone, that's it. It's done - can't pick it back up.

It's a nonsensical way to make the game harder and to be honest, it just ends up being annoying.

Unlocks take *forever* to get as well, so you can forget about getting any really nice items easily...and frankly I'd just take the "Pockets" upgrade to carry an extra magazine around.

Boring space combat that has terrible unlock/leveling mechanics. Don't even buy it on sale.

Has awful performance too - a 7900XTX that's only hitting 10% utilization and sitting at 22-40FPS is atrocious. Fix your game. Until then, I'm blacklisting this developer.

Jabbas ship is possibly one of the worst missions in a doom like game. Shame on nightdive for not fixing that steaming pile of crap.

Guns will target yourself randomly.

It seemed like it might be interesting but really it's campy, cludgy and not a ton of fun for me. The stealth barely works at all and you just end up getting caught and losing scraps. I don't expect every game to get stealth as right as Thief (you know, the nearly 30 year old game) but wow...

Random crits are annoying now as they were before.

But hey the bots are gone?

Mag dumping someone in the head with an MG and not getting a kill at 100 feet is just ass.

It seems like it could be interesting but it's buggy right now and game mechanics aren't very good.

1. Ammo. There is NEVER enough. If teammates have crates, maybe they know to drop it right now, maybe they don't. Enjoy that pistol!
2. Health. Doesn't replenish between rounds so you enter bad territory fast and there's not enough health packs.
3. Applying health packs to teammates or yourself isn't super intuitive or easy to aim.
4. General gunplay. It's.....super meh.
5. Bugs. After 1 round (eg, 5 minutes in) sound was dead, chat was gone for everyone in party. If sound was still working, we could at least hear the "low ammo" audio queues from team mates but nope!

It was free. Maybe they improve the game, maybe not. Maybe I launch it to find out in 6 months, maybe I forget I own this.

Missions are fun and the progression is good.

Game works sorta well on Linux, just check ProtonDB for the most recent tricks. For me, gamemoderun is all that is needed.

Spawn in and spend forever running to find someone to fight. Figure out it's a tank and you can't use anything to fight it. Die. Realize you need to run 5 minutes to fight again and just close the game.

You spend long enough in their training (which takes forever to run to) before spawning in to the actual game and OH SORRY you spent too long and can't refund. Sorry that we designed our game to be hard to refund.

I won't buy from this developer again.
