This game got so much hate but I'm totally down for more arcade shooters that are not COD or a BR. Willing to give it a go and have some fun. 14 Maps at launch is pretty impressive, should keep it fresh. Love to hear no SBM in social too.

[@DjangoMMA]

I hate the maps. They should be smaller and less like a maze

[@CodeVenomSnakes]

@@DjangoMMA I am guesting you did not play call of duty if you have problem with the map.

[@Mayorofsexytown1303]

@@DjangoMMA the classic three lane style is not for everyone. I dig it though. The biggest pull for me is no SBMM. No SBMM is the fairest way to play PvP. Random teams, no putting you on a team that you should loose on just because you did good last match.

The guns have absolutely 0 recoil. It feels like you are literally just pointing and shooting targets, and it feels awful. None of the guns feel strong or satisfying to shoot, and the progression system is fucking terrible. They could just have a levelling system like COD Mobile has, but they had to be different with the fucking challenges.

I really want an FPS with clear and strong counters to classes because that gives it so much depth. We can mostly see these in MOBA games likes LoL and DOTA. One exception to FPS is R6 Siege which also has deep abilities and counters. Valorant should have some but they made it a typical FPS with abilities.
