You're going to do the Ora Ora thing aren't you?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ happens when you play with dumb people. 10/10 for an early access

Today marks my final day as a part of this community. Despite my hours on this account, I've played from very early days and seen this game grow.

I spent most my holdfast life dedicated to arty and the preservation of its nature, to which I can say im leaving the scene rather disappointed. In the past year more and more brain dead line leaders complain about arty while they stand there getting wiped out, which has caused the most recent change to arty- which outright has killed all the fun that myself and a fair few others had playing with it. The level of competence from regiments and their line leading programs has gone far astray from where there was a counter to every class and its uses. Now they all cry like ♥♥♥♥♥♥ toddlers who dont get what they want when they die to their own lack of intelligence with positioning. Say what you want, but the community has gone far down hill due to the devs catering to the new players rather than the older ones. Its not just arty which got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with, cav and the light/rifle classes have also been somewhat neglected since their release and are still to some degree either underwhelming or overpowered.

The community events that are hosted try to cater to all, but again- it has taken a path to which its starting to neglect the specials they offer in favour for the braindead line leads. Had i wrote this review 3 years ago I'd have nothing but praise for the devs and community. But today I do not. I've lost all faith and hope in the game to preserve that sense of fun one gets from playing the more unique classes opposed to your bog standard line.

If you want to play a Napoleonic game then sure, this might be for you. But if you want to delve more into the community and play how you want to play without dealing with crying toddlers in an adult body, then I do not recommend this game. Sure I've had a blast forming friendships with others, but it has come at a cost of dealing with arseholes who thing they are gods gift and dealing with the stress of helping try and steer people in the right direction.

I'd say more in depth, but im tired and want done with game.

gun go boom.

its alright i guess

Honestly, i enjoy the game- But it has alot of flaws

For starters, the term russian bias, IS A THING. if you aint playing russian, you're gunna have a bad time. i struggle grinding through the german tree without having some issue against russian tanks.

Around 10% of my shots magically disappear- which was meant to be patched out months ago.

If they can sort their ♥♥♥♥, then it will be a perfect game.

A visually stunning game with a fairly decent story. I have to admit the DLC has been a bit sub-par, but i still enjoyed it none the less. Should you like games where you grind or games with a semi-sense of open world, then i would recommend getting the game

Crusading? -Check
Incest? -I guess...
GoT mod? -♥♥♥♥ yeah there is
Scotland? -Freedom.

8/10- Solid game.

Now im going to be very honest when i write this. when i first started playing this game it was in early access, filled to the brim with cheaters of mostly asian decent and was filled with game breaking bugs. Did i like playing the game then? Yes i did. I loved the aspect of the game where it was the only BR out there which actually worked and was realistic to a degree. The guns were well thought out and their stats were reasonable. Back then i would of gave this game a solid 9/10 purely for the amount of fun i had playing it.

Next came the release of the desert map. The idea was great and made it harder to be hidden in the open, compared to the OG map. More urbanised areas, but in a more centralised area. I had many great games on there and secured a fair few number of wins on this map. However, with a new map came a new wave of cheaters, the early stages of de-sync and a whole lot more game breaking bugs. At this point alot of my original squad had lost interest because of this. I decided to stick around and see if it would smooth out. To some degree it did, they fixed some minor bugs which helped gameplay; but seemed to ignore the bug issues. They added a new car, which in most peoples opinion was not really needed. And then added a new gun as well as removing weapons from the crate. At this point i became fed up with the game. The devs were not listening to what their market was saying and adding things which they wanted and didnt bother fixing the problems we were facing.

Sanhok was announced and it actually brought a few of the players back from their dis-interest in the game. it was a smaller map, less urbanised and truely focused on the pure bloodlust a BR game should have. I thought that the game was going to be revived from its seemingly dying condition. And to some degree i was correct. The devs listened to what we wanted regarding content being added to the maps etc, which got a lot of the community thinking that they would fix the major issues reagrding cheaters and de-sync. However, we couldnt be more wrong. They implimented a kill-cam which was suppost to help players reprt hackers in more indepth detail. However, yet again BlueHole didnt smooth it out before releasing it. Major de-sync issues were experienced in the death-cams and it was really hard to tell if opponents were indeed hacking. This in particular really pissed me off. The one opportunity in my opinion to turn this game around, then they went and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up so easily.

As of recently they announced 'Fix PUBG' and to be honest, the flaws which were needed to be fixed at an earlier stage of the game are to far gone to be even adressed now. Their intentions with this plan does mean well, however it has come far to late into the game's full release to solve these issues now.

I do come back to this game every now and again to see whether i can get back into playing this game seriously on my own again. Do i still enjoy it? Kinda, yeah. After playing other games for a few hours, its nice to come back to the game and improve my general reflexes and tactical thinking. But in all honesty, its only fun to play it with friends and then just doss about; not taking the game seriously.

Overall, do i recommend this game? Yes i do, despite its flaws it still hold the potential to get its act together and still be as popular as it used to be. Yes i know other BR games are now out there and soon to be releasing. But PUBG will always be the game, which truely took off the genre. Its a nice game to play when you have mates and want to doss about. its also a great game to test your mind out. But it will never meet the potential it needs to become a proper e-sports game. Yes they have had tournements, but its still not to scratch as CSGO or Dota is.

Graphics- 8/10
Guns- 7/10
Vehicles- 6/10 (still bugged to hell)
Competiveness- this varies, but for me its 7/10
Overall rating- 7/10

Brilliant competitive game for everyone to enjoy. In my opinion it needs a mode where you can respawn and have a select weapon menu at the beginning of the match. But overall 10/10
