Review will be updated with progress of Early Access.
This is MY experience so far.

Since the game was basically super hyped I wanted to give it a try aswell. I have never played COD in my life and I'm not too keen of it aswell.
BUT Battalion was actually enjoyable, played it in Closed Beta, it had some crashes here and there and plenty of jumpshots but it was OKAY.
Now that we are in Early Access I'm a bit tilted. Starting the game takes a g e s, I already put it on my SSD but it still takes years, and it crashes A LOT. Having to restart it every time is really frustrating if you need to launch it for minutes.
I would love to play the game but getting constant "host disconnects" or just getting put into full games/games with 0 players or not getting into a game at all really is not worth my time atm.

At least you can create Community Servers/Host your own Server which run way better and if you are looking to Scrim that's probably the best thing you can do atm. But you won't get EXP in said servers and if I remember correctly you need to be level 10 to play the Comp/Wartide mode that unlocks on 8th feb. So back to the normal servers with Arcade and whatnot. Yikes.

Can't say much about the Gameplay itself, I hope they improve the Card Economy a bit since the losing team is kinda ♥♥♥ after some time. Everyone compares it to COD, I only played games like CSGO so having to deal with snipers jumpshotting you constantly was quite some fun. According to patch notes they decreased the accuracy for most guns now (was 100 in air) but it still feels super easy to pull off. Animations are a bit wonky and the game itself feels like it is from 2010 but I don't mind that at all. I actually like it.

Do I recommend the game? Yea BUT I would advice you to wait or play Scrims with Friends/Teams until they fix the Matchmaking/Normal servers/Crashing. If you are into COD it's probably super awesome for you but if you are used to more static games without leaning, laying down or jumpshots you really need to spend some time getting into it.

I have to give props to the Devs tho who are trying their hardest to fix the issues and communitcate with the community. I'm sure the game has a great future as a competetive title and I can't wait to play it crash-free.
