Even if it ran well, you'd still be bored for the 9 hours it takes to complete the game. It took me 12 because of 15fps constant on Maximum Security mode. It'd take a normal person 8 or 9 hours on Normal.

Even if it ran well the story would still suck. The final boss is too easy and too soon. No time for messing with upgrades or having meaningful progress.

Just a bad Dead Space clone.

I got a triple kill and I was bored

Let that sink in

3rd party in solos and teams, small city, poorly explained/thought-out mechanics, 2 good classes, busted melee animations, jump n' shoot meta trash game

halo 2 + portal + free = pog

Many Halo. Much pew pew. Shooty McBadass rides again.

What a thrill. Play all collection games at the dawn of time. Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, and The Bad Halo all in one convenient package. Reach can come, too.

Good game for the price. Needs a little more content through DLC to feel like it has more weight. The story feels short. The game could easily be expanded in a lore-friendly way through DLC though, so I'm looking forward to any new locales or monsters that show up in future updates.

The core gameplay is solid but the bugs and problems you encounter feel very early access. Nothing a few patches can't fix. This game feels like a fantastic jumping off point for a new hit series.

It isn't simply an early access title, it is also:
1) poorly planned, decently executed
2) average in its gameplay
3) sub-par in control scheme
4) a game that falls to the same shortcomings Left 4 Dead did (tethering enemies in a group and sharing aggro is the answer every time)
5) a game that fails to properly portray weapon damage in any somewhat realistic way

I expected a great product, and then I read Crytek and the splash screen and all of that expectation turned to cinder.

A lot of people worked tirelessly to make it through production and beta into 1.0 and the game died instantly.
I played several beta waves and quit at launch. No one played the game after the first two beta weekends. As I predicted, no one played it at launch either.

Arena FPS isn't an untapped market, it just takes too much time and effort to understand without dedication and commitment or literal one-on-one coaching since no Arena FPS games teach players how to play them anymore.

This game could have benefitted a lot from a decent playable tutorial and a free-to-play model. Too little too late with the most recent update.

This game is fun and I keep winning at it.

Now gimme my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ booster pack.
