fun multiplayer, not as buggy as bf 4.

10+ year old game but still buggy as all hell, my PC and Internet is more than enough to run this game maxed out 4k but for some reason after playing a while, no matter the server, huge pingspikes start to happen for no apparent reason. Normally my ping is under 20, then it jumps in the thousands. Needless to say this makes the game completely unplayable.
Campaign is ♥♥♥♥, short and the story is godawful, not to mention full of bugs too.
Oh and the Punkbuster autokick issue thats been in the game for a decade too that never got fixed basically prevents you from playing online at all until you fix it manually.
The way the game communicates to servers is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ABYSMAL. I have very fast glassfibre internet with 100mb/s down and 50 up, but no matter what server after a while of playing theres ALWAYS ping spikes going into the thousands, makes the game just unplayable! Only temp fix then is restarting the router and pc, but the problem ALWAYS comes back so it has to do with how the game is coded.

EA should be ashamed this game is still in such a state. 10+ years after release still full of gamebreaking bugs.

Fun game for sure, got the same aspects that made the original battlefield games great, however the game seems to have been kindof abandoned by the devs not even long after release. its been almost a year since the last update now.
Furthermore the TTK is super low which leads to a kindof frustarting experience sometimes as you literally die before you can really react sometimes. Also the changes that have been made to bandages, their count and healing speed kindof nullifies an aspect of teamplay favouring lone wolf run&gun play.
IMO TTK balance needs to be revamped, and add some new guns already. theres only 2 proper belt fed LMGS currently for example also the overall selection for all classes is limited...

unfinished, buggy, broken and blatantly imbalanced cashgrab. OP paid DLC dinos, very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimization (rtx3080 recommended LOL) constant server crashes and toxic community with devtribes that can cheat&aimbot all they want without repercussion, in fact if you attack the cheater tribes YOU get banned.
Dont waste your money on this ♥♥♥♥.

Game does have its moments and can be pretty fun at times, but oh boy is it HORRIBLY optimized. Im running a 1080 and get framedips into the 30's along with .1% lows in the tens. GPU utilization never really goes above 50%. How is this acceptable ALMOST A DECADE AFTER RELEASE?!
Also, game balance is very questionable, and the gun design is for the most part just straight up stupid. Looking at you specifically, Pipe Guns and Assault Rifle ( imagine an assault rifle with a 30kg watercooled barrel - what the ♥♥♥♥ even bethesda? )

needs microsoft account to play, wouldnt let me create one as it got stuck on verifying that i'm not a robot. solved all the captchas and stuff only to be bombarded by more in an infinite loop- not the halo infinite i wanted to experience.
i never got to play.
0/10 wouldnt reccommend.
Halo 3 on xbox 360 is still GOAT.

recent update added completely unneccessary bloatware third party launcher that bombards you with ads. THIS IS NOT OK.
I really like the game and have been playing it for more than half a decade, but this launcher crosses the line for me. ♥♥♥♥ YOU TAKE TWO!

Buggy, badly optimized and uninspired mess of a game. Rubberbanding issues every match, runs like ♥♥♥♥ on my system ( r7 2700x, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, gtx 1080) barely managing 50fps avg on low settings. Pretty much impossible to land shots as players teleport around the map due to rubberbanding issues.
even free is too expensive for this.
The worst part howver is the third party launcher. Its utter dogshite and besides makes deinstalling the game from your system when youre inevitably gonna be fed up with it much harder and more frustrating than it needs to be.

>try to join server
>loading screen for map shows up for 1 sec
>returned to main menu

literally unplayable. i cant join ANY server.

Pretty fun for a veteran of 1.6 and source, though cheaters run rampant here more so than any other CS game and quickly ruin matches. Valve really really really needs to invest in some better anti cheating software.
Just today ive encountered at least 6 using wallhacks and aimbots, i lost count tbh.
