TL;DR I love this game but what the hell is ubisoft doing. Still fun though 5/7

My Opinions
I pre-ordered the gold edition and I can easily say that it has been my favourite game for a long time.

Community
As a new player, you will find yourself thrown in a massive pit of toxic doom as soon as you start playing casual. You'll probably see it as a problem at first but you just get used to it. Aceepting the community is key if you intend to play without friends.

Learning Curve
Easy to learn, hard to master. This game has a very steep learning curve and it will take a lot of time to get things right, but when you get the hang of it you will start having a lot of fun. Also the fun doubles with every frind you bring.

My opinion on Ubisoft
I don't think they really have a clue on what to do next with this game. Some updates are very well thought out while the others are absolute trash.
Sometimes I wonder if Ubi even fully test their game before pushing an update.
They change the game mechanics, buff or nerf operators mostly based on pro-leauge feedback which can sometimes put normal mid-rank players in a bad spot.
They tend to nerf good performing operators/guns instead of buffing the bad performing ones. Which is a very bad design choice imo.

On the bright side, Ubi is making a lot of progress in order to improve the game (test server, gathering community feedback, etc.).
The patch notes always include even the smallest detail, even if they don't really affect much.

Conclusion
Anyone could have fun in this game but the biggest drawback would be the steep learning curve.
You probably should give R6: Siege a try. Who knows, maybe you'll love it like me; or maybe you'll just refund it after the first match.


PS: Sorry for the long review, I don't think I can attach a potato so you'll have to deal with it!
