    Last I heard there was a massive problem with cheaters and are planning a lot of microtransactions. Like, I’ve heard that in some cases every other lobby has a cheater. Not sure if that’s still an issue, but if it is imma still avoid it. It was definitely fun when it first came out and I hope they do something about the cheaters or already have done something about the cheaters.

      The game is P2W, so of course there would be cheaters. There was an anti-cheat used in EAC, but that was bypassable, especially nowadays.

          The review said it was likely to become P2W, and I thought it already was P2W. If it wasn’t yet, there could be plans for P2W, which was my gut feeling when I saw dark patterns in the game, which I recognized after looking into it a bit.

    I’d only play it if the game wasn’t P2W despite one having to pay for it. If P2W is removed, I’d consider it. Otherwise, don’t bet on me playing it anytime soon.

        From the No Pay To Win Coalition’s review on Steam:

        “Overall: 2/5*

        Not recommended!

        Likely to become a P2W, due to it being a GaaS game.

        • Bad progression system, rigged against newbies.

        Other issues:

        • Cheaters
        • GaaS

        A low-poly Battlefield copy. ”

        If it isn’t P2W as of right now, it will be that way. This also has to do with old-school ownership, as you’re paying for a license that will be revoked any time the devs feel like it.

          The above poster is likely to become a racist terrorist, given their history of comments getting downvoted.

            That’s because I called out certain ideological and ecclesiastical nonsense on a different account, and here on this new one, I don’t plan on calling it out as much as I used to.

          I’d only play it if the game wasn’t P2W

          it isn’t P2W as of right now

          I have good news and bad news!

          The good news is that the game isn’t P2W, so you can play it now! The bad news is that you might be an idiot. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.

          Seriously, you’re spreading misinformation about a game you know nothing about. Based entirely on some random group’s subjective and baseless opinion on what might happen to this game in the future. It would be difficult to get any more dishonest than that. It’s sad.

            You seem to be projecting what looks to be a defense for a game that’s rigged against newbies. I’ve taken a look into the game, and figured it out for myself from watching some gameplay. Yes, it’s fantastic once you get the hang of it, but there’s EOMM that you have to deal with too, which is tame to other unethical matchmaking methods like MTXBMM.

            Does it have an offline single-player or offline anything? If it doesn’t, that’s live service, that’s not a game… it’d instead be a subscription-based shooter movie that you just so happened to be the protagonist of.

              That’s not what live service or Games As A Service means.

              It’s about continued, PAID FOR content being added to the game on a predetermined schedule, where old content is phased out and no longer obtainable.

              Often with two tiers of unlockables; one for regular/free players, and the other for premium/battlepass owners.

                That’s called a dark pattern, which I don’t fall for all that often. I’d just take the F2P route, and I wouldn’t care if I missed out on something where I’d shell out real money for it.
