So, after nearly 4 hours of playing I can say this game is not bad. You'll find a lot of "Mostly Negative" reviews but many of them are fake.
Some people are still butthurt for whatever reason that this game got the last slot at a games award... So, a lot of people are trying to downvote this game into nothing because of something childish like that.
This game feels like a mix of Realm Royal from Paladins and Apex Legends.

Right now, the main issue is the servers are having issues and have been since the morning launch. To me, that isn't grounds for giving a negative review. Lots of even big AAA games have server issues. Even games like World of Warcraft can see massive login queues and server issues on the launch of a new Expansion 20 years later.
Even Arc Raiders the most overhyped game made in like 20 years isn't perfect as that game has a lot of issues still. Yet, it isn't being hated on so much even though it still has a bunch of issues from beta. Things like falling through the map, server reg issues, people getting into walls and other places, and other issues.

Now, this game is far from perfect as it is rocking Unreal 5 Engine so people are going to complain about that so it is what it is.
I have an Nvidia 3080 Ti, AMD 7800X-3D, 32 gigs of ram. At 1440p with DLSS at 75% with some settings like foliage down to medium and some others. Some at the higher settings I am getting over 100 fps just fine. Getting over 100 fps is perfectly fine people. You don't need 300+ fps in a game outside of being super lan pros. The world we live in when people complain that 100 fps isn't enough...
I haven't gotten any compilation stutter or traversal stutter that generally is an issue for Unreal 5.

The gun balance needs a bit of a balance. Some of the guns are just too strong compared to others. Some guns are just not that great. But gun balance is an issue in pretty much any game with guns so that isn't anything new.

The characters are alright. Some are basically just taken from Apex which makes sense given the Devs here. Some are stronger than others like the Stealth ability is a bit overpowered. I will always say Comp shooters should never have invis characters or wall hack characters and this game has both. At least with the stealth character you can see them if you get close to them.

The audio is a bit too much. I find that in a lot of games I always complain the footsteps are way too quiet. In this game however... The footsteps you can hear at like 200 feet away and they're insanely loud. It is way too much.
All of the issues I have seen with this game are pretty minor and can be fixed with a patch or two.

The maps are pretty interesting. You get to pick your own side of the map to defend which changes how things are played out. It is an interesting concept and works pretty well.
All I have to say is this game is not too bad. It doesn't deserve the extreme amounts of hate. The game is not a bad game and it can be pretty fun at times.

Game of the year easily. Enough said.

Game has been a blast. It does have issues here and there as some of the maps are not great on larger modes as they just force a choke fight and it can get old fast.

Anti-Tank makes ground vehicles pretty much useless unless you hide in the backline all match. Heli's are pretty broken since they can just hide behind things pop up rain rockets and just hide again.
They can get wrecked by AA if they get too close at least.

It has its ups and downs but I think it's a fun enough game that the downs don't stop me from enjoying this more than Battlefield 2042.

The game is pretty awesome. Seems like they made it run even more optimized since Beta. Getting easily 30 more fps compared to Beta with the same settings.
This game is pretty fun so don't let those negative reviews say otherwise.
You'll find many of those fake reviews are just butthurt COD players who're angry their game is hot ♥♥♥♥. So they have to take it out on a game that is actually good.

Bear on non bear action.

I will start with F-You GreedyVision with your new $70 AAA price tag for new games. COD makes a Billion with a B every year from Skins alone... Yet, you want to justify the new price tag with crap like dev costs and other bs? You make over a Billion a year from skins! You can't justify a stupid price tag increase when both companies combined are worth what 30 billion? Mobile also makes a billion a year off skins.

It seems like this is pretty much the Mobile COD ported to console and PC. Down to the UI being very close to the mobile version.
This feels like yet another unready cash grab to tick a box just so they could say they have something to release. Unready as in it has a lot of issues still. I mean I can find ways to get stuck on things when going prone near some walls or ledges...
The guns feel out of place due to the visual recoil of the gun but with no actual recoil? It's weird to do that in a COD game which is an arcade style shooter.
The modes are nothing new as it's the same crap from the last 15 years of COD games. They're pretty much trying to bank on a quick buck from this $70 overprice pos. They're pretty much putting all of their chips into Warzone 2.0 which looks like a generic copy of PubG.

This game is just terrible. Around 30 daily players... The devs don't at all care about this game.

As of 9/15/2021 at 4 am pst there is around 400 people playing on PC... Daily player count is under 1,000.
Since release this game has slowly died off due to the lack of new content. They have already stated that they won't add new game content unless they want to.

There is like maybe 20 people on daily max... That is really all you need to know about this game right now.

So, I thought I'd check the game out again after a Dev asked me to check it out and... It's still dead. Do want the game to do well because it's a pretty fun game but it's just dead.
Steamcharts tells the story... 23 players, all-time peak. Unless I am missing something Steamcharts says there has only been a total of 23 people playing it which means also testing.
