Highly unoptimized for console. You literally play at 20-30 FPS even in next gen. The sound engine is the absolute worst for trying to hearHighly unoptimized for console. You literally play at 20-30 FPS even in next gen. The sound engine is the absolute worst for trying to hear your enemies, the most important thing in the game. Enemy shoots to your left, he could easily be to your right, doesn’t matter if you have headphones. If he’s shooting above, he could be on the same level as you, can’t tell. Don’t waste your money.

I only play hardcore so I will only speak to it.There are so many problems with this game. The game crushes like Ghost Recon Breakpoint.I only play hardcore so I will only speak to it.There are so many problems with this game. The game crushes like Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Also, enemies don’t catch bullets half the time. They will simply behave like nothing happened. It does not matter if your aim is dead on accurate. You are using an airsoft gun on this game against enemies who use real guns. That is the background of this game. 1. Enemies started seeing thru walls after the 1st update and devs have not fixed it yet so far “X-ray vision”2. Enemies’ bullets penetrate far unrealistically than players’ bullets “god controlling battleground”3. Enemies are sometimes Ninja. You can never hear anything at times no matter how loud your headset is.4. You may die as soon as you see the enemies “medusa”5. Enemies do not have to aim at you. You will simply die. It does not matter if enemies see you or not. Their weapon will fire at the sky or at the floor and the bullet will consequently end up coming into your head. 6. Enemies never move like humanbeings.7. Hardcore mode is therefore a “sci-fi” mode. It is NEVER a realistic shooter.

To start off: the game suffers from constant crashes and instances of visual or audio glitches. - There are guns that fire and don’t make a sound (and no, no suppressor is equipped) - Bullets that don’t do anything (I’ve been on co-op and dumped 10+ bullets into an AI at point blank range with a gun that’s a 2-3 shot kill even at a distance) - Glitch with the visual where the screen will flicker black, or a variety of ambient colors (and no, this isn’t my setup, it’s the only game I play that does this) - The maps Tell and Precint are basically 95% of the time gonna crash your game. I’ve played with a big group, and four of us crashed out of those maps at one time before. This also happens solo/ basically anytime you play those two maps. - The maps in general are pretty bland, and some of them have design flaws players utilize. On ministry, if you hold down A and B objectives, you basically dominate the game. Players literally get spawn trapped forced to walk into enemy fire to get around. There’s a few other maps that could be considered broken this way, but I’m sure they will never get changed. - i would love to see the DEVS continue to shine this up, and make it into a cult classic like a CS:GO (it’s really got the potential). Add more color to maps, fix the problems, add more game modes, and you got a hit!!! THE GOOD - So the good: this game is f****** awesome! It’s like a hybrid between Pub G and Rainbow Six Siege. Combining the bad graphics from pub and the tactical, close quarters shooting of siege. - I love the variety of weapons! As a gun enthusiast all the weapon and attachments are like a big wet dream. The coolest part is a lot of guns could be considered “meta” for different engagements, so they are all almost worth trying and using. - I love the HUD. Very discreet but almost perfectly done. The compass they use on the bottom is really cool, as most games have stuff like that up at the top of the screen. - the proximity chat is amazing! I love going to capture and objective and hear the enemy team talk. It’s cool because they can also talk to the enemy; which leads to some hilarious verbal exchanges! OVERALL Overall this game is worth the buy. Don’t let my score of 4 fool you! This game is gold, just almost unplayable in its current state with the crashes and glitches! Once fixed I’ll come back and see if I can edit this and give it the score it deserves (an 8 or 9).
