Early Access Review
AN HONEST REVIEW

After 100 hours, multiple versions of the game, Beta testing and many death/losses, I can only give you the truth:

PROS
-Decent game play. Lots of missions with an overall basic and forgettable story.
-It can be fun with friends.
-GENERALLY no server issues.

CONS
-The economy is absolutely ♥♥♥♥. 1 AKSU-74, 6 mags, and around 300 rounds of ammo gets you just shy of 400 bucks, but to buy all of the exact stuff you just sold costs you several thousands of dollars (from 2k-4k depending on type of ammo and attachments) Meaning you must do missions for the forgettable story in order to continue to even support yourself OR go player hunting/high loot area farming (Refer to PvP and AI sections)

-God-like AI. Forget farming high loot areas that can pay well, the aim bot by the AI is god level. Several times they would full auto me from a distance greater than 150m and kill me with a head shot. Lets not even discuss their massive health pools, cat like reflexes, Olympic sprinter speeds, and insane reload speeds. YOU WILL DIE over and over again just to secure 1 extra rifle and it takes HOURS to do it.

-PvP is nothing but rats. People camp Landing zones and Exfil locations like their lives depend on it because they cant win any other way. You get off the helicopter and get full auto blasted by some dude with some of the best gear. Multiple suggestions were given to the devs by the players and they simply ignored us and said GFY.

-THE KEYS, In one of the Devs acid fueled piss pot ideas, mission essential items are at times locked behind doors that require keys. Where do you get these keys might you ask? Kill AI and they MIGHT drop one. There are times I do a whole day killing easily 200+ AI and not a single key. Other days I find them like dirty needles in a crack heads squat house. Maybe your lucky enough to find someone willing to open the door for you, maybe they just say screw you and move on.

-Vendors have some really high expectations. There are 3 levels to the traders. To reach the max level requires 4000 EXP points and every mission is only worth 100 points. why do I need to do 40 missions PER TRADER (There are ~6 traders total) totaling 240 missions just to have access to the SECOND BEST GEAR FOR PURCHASE!

-Ranging your rifle is an absolute nightmare. Is that target 50m or 500m? Who knows, pick a range and hope it works. Targets that appear to be at 300+m are actually around 150m-200m (having been in the Army and being very familiar with the 300m sight of a target with the M4 rifle, I can usually eye-ball it) but none of that matters. Good luck being a sniper at this point.

-The new durability of gear is horrible. Best armor in the game at full health (100%) after 1 hour, 4 deaths, and a total of 9 shots to the armor left it at 21% durability before it broke and I would be better off using egg cartons to protect myself. The AI on the other hand will ABSOLUTELY TANK 20+ rounds and have over 50% durability on the same armor I was just wearing.


THIS IS AN HONEST REVIEW, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, PLAY THIS GAME, OR SUPPORT MAD FINGERS LIKE I DID.

Buddy and I just started playing again with this wipe. We're Mythras doing the restaurant mission in our starting town (both just shy of lvl 5) and we had some kids from another faction camping the second floor chucking grenades and full auto-ing the stairs. They were lvl 1s. I don't think you should be able to get to another faction town until you're level 10. It makes completing tasks obnoxious, and makes us not want to bother playing.
