I have to say, I had no good expectations for this game, and yet, my first impressions of this game somehow were more disappointing than I could ever imagine. Here is an earnest list of all the pros I could brainstorm for this game:

-Fully F2P, and Amazon will give you the battlepass for free as well for the first two weeks of launch.
-TTK actually doesn't feel THAT awful in this game. It's high for sure, but you as a solo player can kill another solo player in about twoish mags if you're decent enough at tracking or they're bad enough at dodging.
-Hitreg seemed decent after I got used to how the guns felt.
-Characters having different power spikes and counters seemed neat, level 2 Mendoza will still mess up a level 3 Tosca.
-All the game modes sharing a map makes it easier to learn.
-Compared to other video games, the women in this game could be a lot more sexualized I guess (people are still gonna call Shakirri thicc tho).

And yet, here was the just all the problems that were at the tip of my tongue, and I probably could have gone on if I wanted to:

-The tutorial is awful. All it serves to teach you is how to shoot your guns, basically. Dropping into my first 4v4, I'm pretty sure I was the only one with the faintest clue of what the objective was at the start.
-The tutorial was also broken after completing for me and I couldn't even look at the other characters' abilities this morning when I launched. I thought it might have been a weird UI bug, but nope! (It at least fixed itself by the time I was home from work.)
-No voice chat at launch. I'm pretty sure the devs have plans to address this eventually, but I'm mad that I have to angrily ping the hive to try and get my teammates to head to it instead of just getting on mic and explaining the objective of the game.
-No auto-kicking AFK players and replacing them with hotjoiners in casual games. Because the one person who didn't get it together after the first five or so minutes left and never came back, so I got to play a 3v4 for my very first game!
-A lot of animations are janky or outright missing. When I tried her, Shakkiri seemed to have NO indication of when you were reloading, or even that the way you reload her pistol is to stop firing it instead of hitting R like in every other game.
-The BR mode's gimmick literally seems like a gimmick. Unless you make a mutual alliance with the player whose teammate you thirsted and they did the same, which unsurprisingly didn't work out the time I tried it, it seems very unlikely that you encounter another solo because you're going to be wanting to hide from every duo left alive instead of hunting down someone to befriend.
-Despite there ostensibly being a lot to do, the map felt very empty the entire time I played.
-Damage indicators are so wimpy, it feels hard to realize when you're actually lit in this game.
-Dying to poison damage because you couldn't get a health kit off in time or didn't have one in the first place is a big FeelsBadMan moment. It should probably only put you down to 1 HP.
-Sometimes, my game randomly lost focus despite nothing seeming to pop up from another program or there being a keypress that would alt-tab me.
-Esports titles should be at least as optimized as League of Legends if you want a large audience, but you definitely don't want to be launching an esport where an i7-7700K and a GTX 1060 (still the most popular GPU on Steam) isn't hitting 120 fps. This might partially be my problem, since I could just drop everything to potato quality like I normally do for the frames, but most people don't bother to sit down and change graphics settings from the default.

I'm sure I have a couple other more nitpicky things, but all in all what I've already said dissuades me enough from playing this game again unless I'm drunk and ragging on it with friends.
