In its current state, I don't recommend this game.
This game used to be great. I lost my steam account in 2019 and took a large break from PC gaming, and came back to a game that was a complete money grab and has spiralled into a cesspit of broken mechanics, scuffed game-modes and developers who lack the ability to care about the very thing they are working on.




Positives
The game still has its same feel generally gameplay wise. The kills you get are still satisfying, the sounds are wonderful and I believe the teams are usually quite well balanced. I also believe the servers are fairly decent, when playing from users from the same region at least.
The guns themselves are generally good, the ability to suppress weapons makes it fun and allows for you to take a couple of different strategies when fighting, allowing for more stability at the cost of slight damage reduction.
Competitive mode is also great, giving you the ability to unlock cool weapons as you continue moving through the ranks and obtaining winner tokens, and is very good at choosing similar skill levels to your own.

Negatives
The game is nothing more than a bad attempt at a cash-grab. The developers seem to only care about money, with packages for heavy amounts of bullets (the in-game currency) that give insane amounts of items and skins and leaves the users with no money to catch scraps, which is heavily unfair, along with making the drop rates of permanent skins almost nothing in the paid boxes, makes it practically impossible to keep a steady loadout in-game. When they initially had a whole section of the Steam Market, I believe it was more balanced, as users were able to trade skins and not lose money - an example being receiving duplicate guns and having the ability to trade them with another user for a gun you'd like. I have 4 weapons permanent that are the exact same skin and weapon, that give me a whopping 200 BS coins - also known as 'pittance'. With the current amount of skins on the game, it would make them more money than with the micro-transactions alone. The fact that you need to spend ridiculous amounts to do something as simple as changing your name are beyond me.
The netcode needs changing. A full game of EU players being placed in US/OCE servers is ridiculous, and if someone is above 100 ping it is practically unplayable.
The staff do not care about cheaters. I placed a report with video evidence regarding a cheater with aimbot and extended reach when knifing. EXTENDED REACH. This isn't Minecraft. I was banned for two days for 'Unfair Activity' and had no opportunity to get a valid response from either creating a ticket or talking to the staff on Discord and Steam.
The new map, 'Open Storage', is a god awful attempt at map-making when put in a 5v5 pool, with the sheer scale. Games always run out of time, never actually down to score. Terrible.




Conclusion
This game needs a lot of work. I want this game to improve so badly and I really believe the devs and the staff are capable of doing so.
But we're yet to see the false ban message to be fixed 10 months after its inception in-game when a user's internet dies.
Will I keep playing? Yes.
Will I put anything into this game? No.

Do better, VALOFE. You bought this game from its original developers, continue their work rather than making a pathetic attempt at making a few bucks on an IP.
This game was great before your logo was smeared all over the loading screen.




Please comment your thoughts about this game. I'd like to know how the playerbase feels and most of the reviews seem to be quick spam aside from a few with actual opinions.
