This is what the core of the game is, joining random public servers and fighting with ball and bayonet, seeking out the enemy. While completely unorganized combat is underway, officers and men will stand up tall, and attempt to conduct tactical operations in formation, musicians will inspire the front lines, and men will fall left and right. It is a very amazing experience to feel the rush of dopamine when you manage to survive an enemy push, or 1v3 in melee. The maps are all very unique and give some variety - from the spanish farmland to the Egyptian scrubs, there are many settings for you to battle on. The units feel similar but are somewhat unique. Light Infantry have slightly quicker reloads, Guards excel in melee, and Riflemen are noticably better accuracy. All in all, this is great. The only glaring flaw that takes away from the experience is the currently flawed Melee system. WIth just a little bit of latency, you'll have some bad problems blocking, as it's very slow with the musket.
