Finally took my time to write a review for this game.

Short version

"Negatives"

Crashes.

Bad netcoding.

Insane amount of abusable bugs/broken features(Which won't get you banned)

Alot of glitches that will make you go mad

Terrible optimization(High end pcs will go as low as 30 fps)

Slow updates will release stuff without properly testing them leaving them broken for x amount of months

Unbalanced/asymetrical weapon balance which makes fps none competetive

Weapons has random effects added like sway and coded inaccuracy(You shots won't go where you aim) reducing the skill level and making it more RNG based(Dice roll style)

Also heavy unbalance in RTS/Population/Tanks/Planes currencies between all factions.

Worse grind than Runescape and WoW combined

High learning curve and and unplayable for new players after starting zone(Imagine running into tanks with a rifle for 100+ games with no way to killing them. Spawncamp deluxe is what happens to you.

If you are not a EU player you will have to get used to 40+ minutes ques and 130+ ping servers if you don't play on EU primetime.

In the "competetive" mode aka war mode your ques will be longer due to strategical value of certain battles which may leave you without a game for 60min+


Developers that gets offended and bans people on forum and ingame when they get criticism.

The only reason this game is still not in beta is because the terms of service of steam prevented them (You are only allowed to have a game that is under BETA on steam for X amount of years or your game will get kicked out of the platform)

Game lacks a clear goal set by the development team, what does the game actually want to be? RTS/FPS Casual/Hardcore or Realistic?

No cap on special classes. In a match of 18 players you may have 2 infantry 4 recons(Snipers) 8 tankers and 6 pilots and 2 paratroopers vs 18 infantry that makes the game unplayable and unbalanced(Spawncamped)

New maps every 1/2 years. The game has 8 maps currently with slight changes to them instead of adding more maps a year.

Barely any updates/fixes on the RTS. The RTS is what makes this game unique being able to combine a battlefield environment with a RTS map of europe making every battle you play matter for the war.

Badly optimized ingame sounds(Sounds clipping and you won't hear footsteps behind you etc)

Terrible squad implementation(Where it forces you play you to play in a way that doesn't make sense)
Getting put on a line without tanks and equipment instead of defending the necessary line for victory.

I wouldn't recommend investing time into this game. Since the only thing that kept me playing for longer than i should is the same reason why people played WoW for such a long time. Friends you met ingame and nothing else.

"Positives"

Get a feeling your a part of a bigger picture(You fight for your faction to win in the war)

Has a unique combination of combining the FPS and RTS where you fight for control in a map of Europe.




In-depth explanation

This game has been in development for over 5 years. And it still has bugs that existed from the start.

Crashing/Loss of currency/Lag/Objects that gives low FPS. Is just a few of the problems that has always existed.

The only reason this game is still not in beta is because the terms of service of steam prevented them (You are only allowed to have a game that is under BETA on steam for X amount of years or your game will get kicked out of the platform)

"NEGATIVES"

The main issue for me is how they ignore fixing broken stuff and balance between factions. Instead they can add new effects that no one requested(Casings going out of your gun/ Weapon has uncontrollable sway and coded inaccuracy meaning that bullets can go left or right of the target instead of CSGO where the first bullet always goes in the middle of the crosshair)

They dont use a PTR system so when they make a new item (Tank/Weapon/Game mechanic) they just outwards release it breaking the current meta. Instead of removing it and fixing it they will keep it and fix it in a later build(Big builds take 3-6 months to release)

Example is when they released a new faction(Soviets) with out adding a reduction to grind/free migration or any other form of buff to the new faction. Which led to the game being broken for over a year before the faction grew enough to survive. It's still broken as of today since the new faction only has 1/4 of the players of the other factions.

They also have a habit on breaking the game, then going on vacation leaving it broken for months.

For you who played WoW Arena will recognize yourself in this developer mentality(S5 DKs)


Most likely forgot some points but i will edit the post as time goes
