It's like a group of idiots got together and tried to design the most frustrating CAPTCHA system that's required to just OPEN the game so that players stop playing. Do the morons that designed that system realize that different people play on different resolutions? I can't even see the entire box to choose from and therefore can no longer start the game.

Just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible game all around. This game does not currently support multiplayer which makes it a total waste of money. Honestly, how hard is it to implement a basic multiplayer that actually works in 2021. It takes ten minutes of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loading to try to get into a lobby, just for it to fail or crash. If you somehow manage to get in a lobby it's riddle with dumb c*nts with mod menus who have nothing better to do but to ruin any potential fun. Since Rockstar is just in it for the cash grab they implemented peer to peer for multiplayer to save money and which in return makes for an awful multiplayer experience that also happens to be a lot less safe. Modders can teleport you, take away your weapons, freeze you, kick you, CRASH YOUR GAME, CAPTURE YOUR IP ADDRESS AND LOCATION, and so much more BS. You will find at least one modder in each lobby, that's how bad the cheaters are in this game. And can you blame all of them? if you don't have a mod menu you're f*cked because if you join a lobby without one you will be abused and have your game crashed. Rockstar has no intention of fixing this, their support line is dead, and have done nothing to address the cheater problem. Yet they have no problem releasing content that you have to pay for to use. This is the only f*cking game I have to use a VPN for because some raging kid is going to expose your location so they can escape their miserable life since for some f*cking reason Rockstar thought it would be a good idea to have every player to have a direct connection established to every other player in your lobby. And of course, this is assuming you somehow can manage to get into a lobby which I no longer can. No port forwarding, firewall disabling, router resets or updates can fix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ multiplayer this game offers. Even in the perfect scenario you're going to be stuck grinding, doing the same exact thing over and over again with paying real cash being the only way to escape it.

YES A GAME THAT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FINALLY RUNS ON ULTRAWIDE!! 32:9 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

The baby version of Forged Alliance Forever. Opponents here are no match for my high-level skill.

So I've always likes CSGO to a certain extent. The problem being the constant amount of smurfs or cheaters whitch completly ruin the game, specifically when playing competetive mode. Now with the new update and the addition of battle royal to the game I thought it was the most stupidist thing. Then I actually played yet it and it's actually really fun. It looks like they put a good amount of work into and I will for sure keep playing it. Now I do understand all the negative reviews though with the game being made free when there's already a smurf and cheater problem. This will surly make it much worse. Hopfully they will do something to stop it or else I don't see myself playing competetive mode anymore.

This is a tremendous game folks, absolutely incredible you better believe it. And trust me I know video-games, I've been studying video-games for along time, I know the in's and out's and believe me this game has it all. And you know you'll have some people that will complain saying "oh trump is only 2d, oh blah blah blah", but you can forget them. They don't know things the way I know things. And I'm telling you right now this game has not only what you've been looking for, but things you didn't even know you wanted. And look you know with other reviews, well you can't really trust them. I mean who's to say they aren't taking money from the developers or the chinese, am I right? Well you see I'm a billionare, I have alot of money, and I'm not just saying that too brag. But it's true i'm really really rich if you haven't heard. You see I pull the strings, I've been on the other side of the fence. You can believe what I say, cause I don't take money from donors because folks I'm rich. I mean I could take the money, there's so much money, believe me so much. But I don't want it, it's worthless to me. And the things is you can't get that with the other reviewers, just can't trust them folks. So believe me when I tell you this game is exactly what this country needs. Trust me, I wouldn't be saying it otherwise folks, and you can believe me on that. You're going to love it and it's going to be huge folks. more then huge really. So go ahead and buy it now, because I can't guarantee that it will always be for sale, I'm sorry I just can't make that promise. I don't like to make promises I can't keep folks, I'm sorry it's true. So everyone now "USA! USA! BUY RIMWORLD! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"! Trust me folks, you will not regret. You will not regret it one bit.

Used to be a great game, I still play it every now and then. But for whatever reason they developers started doing their own thing and changed the matchmaking part of this game. So instead of being able to choose what server you want to play on you now have to go through a matchmaking lobby that takes forever for you to get loaded in. And remember the autobalance that kept teams fair? Well that was scrapped now too, so if some members on your team decide to leave the game turns into a slaughter because you'll have 8 players vs 3-6 players with no attempts to balance the game. And I could go on about how the matchmaking takes no steps to repopulate a server so eventually you run out of players or abunch of other uneeded problems that were introduced by this useless update. But instead I think I would share the biggest problem which is cheaters. Valve in general does not care about cheaters, they don't care if someone is reported by an entire team or if you have video evidence of them cheating. They will not take any steps to correct the situation, a huge problem considering when they added something called competitive gamemode into the game where all of your wins and loses and k/d ratio are recorded. So if it gets ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up by a cheater, nothing will get done. Why? Because they don't give two ♥♥♥♥♥. If cheaters started actually getting banned then that means less profit for valve, so it will never get fixed. But they do like to make it look like they made steps to stopping them by adding a way to report players, of course little did you know that your reports go straight to the trash once filed. I have filed many reports, none have been responded too. I reported a cheater months, maybe a year ago for aimbotting. Not only did I do it, but so did everyone in the game because the the second you left spawn you died. Just today the same player was in a competive match game with me and was aiming in the air killing everyone instantly that came in a certain radius of him. The fact that someone can go this long using cheats without trying to hide them who probably has hundreds of reports against him just shows how much the developers care about it's users. So no, I used to love this game and the developers have fixed some of the supid mistakes they added to this game into the update. But untill at least the cheating problem can be fixed I see no way I can recommend this game.

Forged Alliance is still one of the best RTS (real-time strategy) games out there. Sure this game has it's problems whether it be the old age, poor optimization on modern pc's, multiplayer disconnects, desyncs, poor AI movement, etc. It was still way ahead of it's time (original release 07) and even today I would prefer over any other RTS. This is contributed to the fact that for this type of game it has a complex economy system, massive amount of units and structures all organized into different techs, many types of warfare (land, air, sea, intelligence, etc), strategic zooming, and I could go on and on. There are so many different ways to play and win this game and the mutliplayer cleint called FAF created by the community has kept this game alive. Even today new updates are rolled out and every replay is still saved automatically into an online vault along with mods and new maps. The community is still well active with over 4k memebers just on the offical FAF discord server. I really do hope that someday a remastered version of this game is created because even in it's aged state it's still far better them most rts games out there.

If you are planning to play this game or already own it, check out the FAF community multiplayer client because that's where all the real fun is. There's also plenty of youtube casters out there that stream this game if you're still unsure about it. Enjoy!

This game was nothing like I expected it to be. When I purchased this game I believed I was getting a military simulator that was nicely polished, contained a good backstory, a good multiplayer, and a nicely explained tutorial considering the price of $69.99 I paid for it. I was completly wrong.

Backstory: One of the most ridiculous things about this game is that it claims to be a military simulator. I can tell you it's not even close. First off it takes place in the future, not a couple years, but far in the future. So far in the future where for some reason todays weapons no longer exsists. Yes, that's right there are no M4's, Scar's, HKs, Ak's, ACR's, etc in this game. Just this shows how this game fails. How can you claim to be a military simulator and not even include weapons that our forces use around the world to not be in this game. And even the weapons that they do include are very limited. I'm talking like maybe 20 weapons. That's just one example. I could go on about how just sticking a needle or wrapping a bandage on your teammate revives them or how the campaign doesn't make any sense, but lets just move on.

Controls: The controls are the most confusing thing I've ever had to use. The placement of them are confusing and hard to remember. I tried changing them, but instead of swapping them it just tells you that the key is already being used so then you have to figure what key is already using that. That wouldn't be so hard if it wasn't for the fact that there are like 100's of different key combinations.

Tutorial: Honestly why is it even here? It is so bad I can't understand it. It does nothing to explain the confusing controls as mentioned above. Instead the majority of it will have you run around to points, yes run around. And I'm not over exaggerating that either. It's like the developers couldn't even start on how to explain everything so they decided to teach you common knowledge that you would already know from any other FPS like how to run, walk, move your screen, etc. Even when it did get into something useful like using the map, it still wasn't even properly explained.

Movement: I figured that movement and aiming would be different from other FPS games. But come on, the movement is so sluggish on this game. Aiming is the same way. Everything feels so cumbersome, especially with the funky key placement. Maybe eventually I would get used to it, but it truely destroys any immersion that game could have.

Graphics/Optimization: First off graphics don't make a game, but they certainly help with immersion. And the graphics were ok at first, but then I realized that it was eating my computer resources that I had to scale everything back. Even at poor graphic setting I still had a low framerate issue. That is truely unbelievable considering the graphics are disgusting at this level yet at the same time I can manage high-ultra settings on Battlefield 4 at 60 FPS. So the game just fails so hard here and really this shows that no effort was put into optimization. I mean come on Rust has better optimization and that game is indie and still in early access.

Multiplayer: So this is supposed to be Arma's big thing. Yet I hated this more than anything else. I constantly had to look up servers to join. If I found a server it would launch the game, load the server, load everything in, and then tell me that I was kicked and I need to reserve a spot at some stupid website. When I finally get into a server that you don't need to be whitelisted or reserve a spot I still had problems. There're no explainations on what to do and the community just expects you to know everything. I litterally kept getting "hit Alt + F4" or "call an admin" to my questions from other players. When I did figure things out on my own it seems like I can never do anything. On king of the hill gamemode I would have to travel miles to get into the battlefield. Sometimes I was luckily enough to get in a helicopter. Of course as soon as I got out I would get killed instantly by players who have a ton of money and can buy the best weapons. Then I tried alatis life and I would just keep spawning on a stupid small island with no way to get to the mainland with no explaintion on what to do. And Arma life you can't even join without paying a monthly payment. That's where I gave up on multiplayer, litterally a true disappointment, just alot of confusion and time wasted.

Overall from what I learned: It seems that these developers are those type of people that rush a unfinished game with loads of issues and expect the community to mod it to be playable. So if this game was $10 that might be acceptable depending on certain conditions. But I litterally paid $69.99 for this game and expect nothing less the AAA quality. I got none of that. I had to check and see if this game was still in early development, but nope it was released OVER 3 YEARS AGO. Seriously, I can't imagine what it was like when it came out. And I'm not a very critical person, I usually enjoy most video games. And I really wanted to like this game, but from the limited weapons, confusing controls, and a letdown of a multiplayer I just couldn't do it. I gave it two chances, and if I played this game any longer then I couldn't get a refund. And I have NEVER made a refund for any of my games before. But this, this is unacceptable and I am getting a refund for this game right away.

Edit: I forgot to add that the A.I. is incredibly stupid when it comes to custom missions released by the community. Another reason why this game was a big let down. Also if you think any of this review is just me ranting then you can buy the game and see for yourself. As long as you don't go over 2 hours or so of gameplay then you should be able to get a refund.
Edit #2: Don't take my word of the refund though, do it at your own risk because I don't know how steam desides whether or not you're eligible for a refund. In this case I was, may not be the same for you.

As night begins to set in I know it's time to run, but I do it ever so quietly so my footsteps are not heard. You may think I do this out of fear, but fear it is not. And when I see a glimmer of light in the distance I feel hope, but not for the reason you're thinking of. I follow the light, not daring to lose sight of it, knowing that I may never find it again.

And as the light becomes closer I begin to slow down, knowing that my presence may scare it away. The light that seemed to be moving so fast before, now comes to an abrupt stop. But I know better and hide in the bushes before it sees me. You see there is a much more cynical motive behind my actions, for I am not running from a predator, but because I am the predator.

I smirk as my prey seems to be blissfully unaware of me and the tragedy that is about to occur. But just as I am about to attack, I halt and stay hidden. Not because I suddenly feel guilty or that I am in the wrong, but because it gives me an adrenaline rush like no other, to stay hidden in the dark and to stalk your prey unnoticed. Of course this comes naturally when you hunt the most cunning creature of them all.

After I have followed my prey far enough, once I have known my prey long enough, and once I've proven that I am the more cunning one of all, I decide it's time to attack my prey before daylight hits. I leave my hiding spot and reveal myself to my prey. Of course by now my prey knows it's too late to run and accepts its' fate that is rightly deserved.

And at that very moment I do what must be done for the good of the country and.......... deport the illegal immigrant back to Mexico.
