I’m gonna buy it this week when I get paid
The game really shines when it makes the most realistic possible weapons/vehicles models/skins, but has the Roblox-looking player models with realistic skins.
I hope they keep that balance (the models themselves are super fake, but everything else is ‘realistic’) because it really heightens the game.
The games my brain associates it with the most while playing are Battlefield 2, Bad Company 2 (which is large praise), and a visual hint of Roblox.
Totally caught me off guard, I’m surprised how much I enjoy it.
When it comes to releases. The most important days to watch playercount/sales are day 1, week 1, week 2(typically numbers start to drop off due to players getting bored and jumping onto the next game) and week 4(long term).
If the player count survives week 4, then its likely going to stay
Awesome to see the devs so active and the game so stable. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with friends. I will say that it’s a bit annoying that you have to grind to get to the good weapons. Snipers especially only start being good at level 65, which is a big time commitment. I’m getting close after playing about 40 hours.
Played a lot this week. For those on the fence this game feels amazing. Terrific gun play and movement. This is a real ‘back-to-basics’ battlefield-like shooter. I highly recommend jumping in on it.
I have a steam deck, I have been following it for quite a bit, but I haven’t bought it yet because developers are planning to implement Faceit that is not compatible with linux
You will still be able to play on community servers which will continue to use EAC.
I would say not too far off BF3. There is a drone and I would say the sniping is a little too strong to the point where a few people play it like CSGO. But it’s nothing like CoD or the newer battlefields.
Edit: By new CoDs I mean no wall running or jet packs. No dumb kill streaks. There is an element of run and gun but it’s limited if effectiveness.
wen controller support
I played some of this last week with some friends. I really want to like it as an OG battlefield player, but we all felt like it was just way too easy to die. There’s just no time to react to anything. Hoping it gets better!
