Early Access Review
Intro:

I like this game.

For people who enjoy arcade shooters like Battlefield or Call of Duty, this game is absolutely worth trying out.
The negative reviews mostly stem from people who cannot enter the game at all, or who are angry about the Launcher this game uses. They barely reflect the actual state of the game, and while it is far from great or even done, its a solid foundation.

Below I'll list a few things I enjoyed, and stuff that I don't.

Good:

Gunplay -For fans of Arcade Shooters, if you want extremely realistic gun-handling like in tactical shooters, this isn't for you.

Gamemodes -There are only two Gamemodes at the moment. The first is the famous "Conquest" mode where you have hold objectives and take the enemies' ones to bleed their tickets.
The second one is Team Deathmatch.

Graphics -They're not the most amazing textures, but they're really solid for an indie title. Explosions feel impactful, Fragmentation grenades don't explode in a burst of fire, but are instead proper shrapnel explosions, which many game don't get right.
Unlocks -If you are the kind of person that needs a carrot on the stick to motivate you to play, then this game will keep you entertained for a few dozen hours at least.

Tactics -The game offers a wide variety of utility options like UAV-drones, Jammer-Drones, Artillery/Strafing runs/Guided Missiles and even drop-in vehicles that you can use by spending points unlocked through shooting enemies, taking out vehicles, supplying teammates and particularly by taking objectives with your Squad. Playing the objective is therefore really rewarding and encourages even the most kill-greedy players to play the objective because it is there where they can gain the points for the upper-edge upon the opponent.


Flawed and bad:

Balance of Weapons -TTK is fast and I feel like every weapon in this game serves a particular purpose, but with the dynamic battlefield in this game some weapons are just more consistently useful overall. You will generally notice that weapons you unlock further down the level-tree are better in pure stats. Paired with the limited unlocks on most weapons, to me it felt like there's always a "meta" or superior way to customize a weapon.
Balance of Vehicles Tanks in this game are very mobile. That is generally faithful because real modern tanks are fast too, but in terms of intertia and handling these tanks drive like some of the Jeeps in Battlefield. Combining this with the incredibly fast turret-rotation/angling speed makes tanks an incredibly dangerous enemy that you need to fear on the battlefield.
Taking out tanks in this game is quite difficult regardless of the abundance of AT-Rockets, because they're driving fast, have smokescreens and can take you out with precision. Maybe increasing the damage of AT rockets during rear-hits (say that two rockets into the rear of the tank are sufficient) would help to make positioning more important for both the Tank-crew and the Squads trying to take it out. There are support helicopters in this game as well, and they're arguably even harder to take out until you unlock the AA-Rocket which requires you to play for quite some time. One could adress this by adding AA-Rockets as pickups on the map (maybe 1 per side), so that these can be dealt with after some time.
Netcode/Performance I won't sugarcoat it, its really not good. Sometimes it feels like hits get registered very late, so people die after ducking into cover. Sometimes people are rubberbanding severely and its difficult to both hit and get hit with such people. I know that Server performance has been an issue, and while I do work in this field and know of the challenges that are hidden behind a working server-infrastructure, I do think that if you sell microtransactions for a game, then it should be in a decent and playable state. Right now it feels like a bit of a coin-toss if the server works in your favour or not.

Bipods -As an avid Support player in BF, the great part about having a Light Machine Gun with a Bipod was that you could actually supress enemies from long ranges. Combat range in this game tends to be between 1-50 meters most of the time, and ARs and SMGs are superior in all aspects except magazine capacity.
The problem with LMGs is that the Bipod cannot be deployed manually, so the recoil reduction only kicks in if you are prone on the floor. That becomes a problem when you want to mount your weapon onto a windowpane to shoot out of windows, or whenever you're having an obstacle in front of you which is slightly higher than a pavestone. On top of that, the recoil reduction doesn't work when you aren't in ADS either despite being prone, so you can't hold a tight corner without being in ADS either, having to rely on RNG to get your bullets in.

Third-Party Launcher -I assume that their launcher choice has to do with their management of player profiles, verification/download of the game and the payment functionality. Thankfully you don't need an own account per say (only after you purchase something to transfer the purchase to your Steam Account).Personally I think they should rework this so that everything can be done without this launcher running, but I believe it is here to stay.
Its not a big problem in my opinion.

Summary:

Back when it launched, I had such severe bugs within the game that I could barely play it. All of the really dire ones I remember (like skating on the floor like on an ice-field or weapons randomly stopping to work) have been fixed, and I haven't noticed any significant ones this time around.
There's a few strange animation errors sometimes, but that's just something they'll probably fix once the game gets a bit of polish.


So, despite the negative response and troubled history of the game with its catastrophical launch and take-over by another company, I do believe that this game is fun to play and that it will eventually be fun.

Even within its current state I believe it is more fun than Battlefield 2042, and I gave that game a genuine chance as well.
For a Free2Play title this game is pretty solid and even if you don't really stick around for long, it will entertain you for quite some time.

I hope that the Developers will continue work on this, and bring it into a state where it can truly showcase its strengths. The foundation is there, and I'm looking forward to its future patches.

Thanks for reading.

Early Access Review
Love this game to bits, it's a nice slow pace tactical FPS and for a decent price at that. I'm not so sure on the multiplayer and co-op aspect of this game since I've mostly played just single-player with myself and my bot ai teammates assigned to me within maps and situations but the enemy AI needs to adjusted a bit. You'll have enemy ai charging at you around corners and breach ways and sick onto the player WAY to fast. There are even some occasions on a certain map upon loading in during a certain situation and spawning in will the player be practically spawn killed but since this happens almost 7 out 10 times I got used to it and just managed to get around it by checking and pre-firing the spot where they usually sit and kill them on the spot. But other than that, once this game gets more traction and a solid player base and a little tweaking here and there from the dev team.... This game will be a must have once fully launched and polished! I give this game personally as of right now a solid 7.5/10
