Whether or not you like this game will depend on your perspective, if you want to see this as a tactical shooter with deep story or engaging progression, you probably won't enjoy it that much. I personally like to see this game as like a tactical sandbox where you can make your own combat scenarios and stories with the equipment, configurations, maps and mods the game gives you access to. Though, even without the made up scenarios, it can be fun to just shoot bad guys sometimes with no reason other then having a good time or practise. The games gunplay and gun customization is phenomenal , i haven't seen any other games like it and its a 10/10 in my book The enemy ai is abit clunky at times, but they get the job as threats done well enough The graphics, while not earth-shatteringly good, are pretty nice, and the more foilage dense maps look really pretty. The gun models also look really good! Character customization is enough , could use a few more outfits and accessories, but i think its fine as it is. CQB in this game feels abit odd at times, i think its because the arms of your character react erratically when in tight spaces sometimes. Enemy VA can get abit repetitive at times, i think they should implement a small amount of new voice lines to each enemy reaction, like add 2 more different voicelines to terrorists reacting to their allies being dead, as it would make it less repetitive and make them feel abit more alive. Also, the enemies need more then just 1 VA per faction , as it feels odd when you hear the same voice coming from multiple different people of the same faction. One issue i genuinely don't like about the game is high FOV and pistols. When ADSing with pistols with high FOV, they will seem abit far away, and it can make it abit weird trying to aim them. Primaries don't seem to have this issue. If you want something abit more structured with a deep story, i'd recommend Ready or Not, if you want something with a feeling of progression, i'd recommend Incursion Red River. And if you want a tactical sandbox, i'd recommend this game

Long story short if you have ever watched or played Ready Or Not, this is a more Military based version while still having some urban or city style missions. It has better customization in my opinion especially when it comes to uniform. Maps, Missions, Guns, Uniforms, Gear, Community, ect is all great no downsides in my view.

A fun milsim with very generous weapon customization (and the Workshop allows for plenty more). It's nice not having fixed rail positions on the weapons, so if you want to push your optic all the way to the front of the weapon or adjust where the attachments are, you're free to do so. Enemy AI is decent, and missions are very customizable. As someone who usually plays solo or only with one or two friends, I appreciate some consideration given to those who don't really have a "group" or just dont like randoms. You can customize AI difficulty values and how many are present, so a solo player can shrink the enemy size if they choose for more fair missions, or tweak their stats from "walking RP dummy" to "john wick sniperbot". It's a very appreciated feature!
