Good if you're a fan of something such as Battlefield but want something more realistic yet not as fast paced as Insurgency or as verbose/involved as Arma or Squad. However, it lacks detail and overall polish compared to Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm 1 and has some lost potential.

Pros:
- Good pace compared to other "hardcore" multiplayer FPSs
- Good vehicle mechanics, albeit with a learning curve
- Decent gun models and gunplay
- Useful and dynamic classes/jobs

Cons:
- A bad commander is the fastest way to get your team screwed over, even if you have some good players who at least have a chance of carrying your team. Squad leaders who don't dig tunnels or give coordinates can also cripple your team if it's bad enough. People joke and argue that this adds to the "'Nam Experience™", but it can still be incredibly frustrating.

- Player models and Voice Acting could use work. Compared to RO2/RS, player models and animations seem stiff and there are only one or two voice actors for each team, and the acting isn't the best.

- Hit registration can be erratic. It isn't game breaking, but play for more than a few hours and you'll have at least two or three times you unload into someone or get a headshot and hear the squelch of a hit, but they don't die and kill you.

Overall, it's really fun when you're playing both with and against a competent team, but it still has some flaws that could be worked out with more development.
