Early Access Review
I see a lot of bad reviews and I feel like I must explain some things before other ppl like them buy this game.
Whoever is writing bad reviews, clearly is a wannabee casual Call of Duty Multiplayer pro Shipment player - which is nothing wrong, but it doesn't mean that the game is crap only because you don't have a permanent UAV and minimap showing you where all your enemies are, and you can 360º quickscope someone when jumping from a tall building while eating a slice of pizza at the same time.

TL:DR in the end.

This is not the game for you if you're chasing leaderboards, nice sniper kills, trickshots.
This is as real as it gets in the gaming industry.

This is a second world war simulation.
The maps are a recreation of real places where war raged in the WW2 (watch the mini-series Band of Brothers and this game will have a whole new meaning to you).

You're in a 6 player squad. You take orders from your Squad. Everyone needs to have a mic and communicate (ideally). Your squad is part of a battalion composed of other squads. Your battalion has a Commander who gives out orders to the squads.

You must be patient. You have to know when to move and how to do it safely because it only takes 1 hit for you to die.

Know when to shoot, if you are not in the best cover possible and start shooting, you and your squad will get pinned, thus screwing up the plans and you have to redeploy far back from the frontline. Stealth and timing is your friend here.

Ammo is limited, so you need firing discipline. You do not regenerate health out of nowhere like in other games. Either you have bandages or you have a medic nearby.

TL;DR:

Why I love this game:
> Proximity Chat - It is awesome when you're in the trenches with 25+ friendlies vs 25+ enemies. You hear teammates screaming for a medic when they're shot. Sometimes there's so much noise from explosions and firefight that everything seems lost, but then you hear one dude in your team screaming "FOR FREEDOM", gets out of the trenches to push forward and dies immediately, but then many other teammates start doing the same and we take back the positions.

> Excellent immersion - The more I play, the more I respect the soldiers who took part in WW2 and the conditions they endured to fight for their land.

> Friendly fire - You need to know where you're shooting/throwing grenades at, or else you'll be killing your friends (this is great because it makes no sense in other games that you literally send a nuke and only kill ppl in the enemy team).

> Great community overall - I have never seen anyone raging in this game because a teammate died or killed a friendly. Generally players give advice on how to avoid that.

> When you have a communicate squad, this is an incredible experience, as the roleplay factor is super important.

If you're looking for a game that religiously tries to create an experience of what the WW2 was, this is it.

Very fun game if you have nothing to do or if you are angry at life and want to channel the anger into your keyboard.
