"Playing this game is like dating a toxic, narcissistic, gold-digging partner. Literally. It starts great. The game is a banger, and you are having an absolute blast playing it. But after a while, something starts to feel off, like something is missing. Later, no matter how much time, money, or energy you spend, the game will always make you feel like it’s not enough . It seems like it doesn’t respect your boundaries and doesn’t accept that you might have a life or other games to play outside of it. So after you put in a ridiculous amount of time and money, you understand that it is not you who is the problem — this is a fundamental game design. You start to realize that you don’t even like the game that much anymore. You feel obliged to play it. It’s old, and the community inside it is awful and toxic. People you play the game with might disagree and say you exaggerate, but you realize that they are trapped and don’t play other games to compare it to. And then the healing starts. You play it less and less, or even uninstall it. And that is when the love-bombing begins! New, sometimes long-awaited changes and updates, big bonuses for returning players, lucrative events. You might tell yourself that the game wasn’t that bad, and that maybe you were too invested in it. And then the vicious cycle begins again."

"The people got worse too. Or maybe I just forgot what it was like to begin with. It's low quality and or bot only match making right into tier 7, people will tell you there's skill locks, but you can be in the highest echelon and it be that way. Anything that has a 21+ hour grind until you even approach a decent game is not worth your time. For the $714+ gross you can make in that same time frame you can buy a decent game. Great to keep your kids occupied though. They'll love the hold W atomosphere. Did the AI get worse..... it's going to take you an age to get to play with real people. The bots were always garbage but rn you can have three of em at the enemy base and they won't stay in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cap point, mean while the enemy bots spot through buildings and will pile on a cap. Returning player? It looks cool and updated, new bro? Don't bother."

"This game is VERY aggravating. Unless you want to take the time to memorize the maps and practice countless hours trying to perfect an area, you will get killed again and again. I spent 151 hours and that doesn't even scratch the surface of what it takes to I guess not get killed repeatedly and quickly. You make one wrong move, get spotted and immediately get hit by 5 other people that sit there camping a bush waiting for something to come along. Even if you have a good game, what does that mean? It means you hid next to a rock or a building with a bush next to it then, shoot hide shoot hide shoot hide. I just don't have hours EVERY day to practice and memorize the maps. "Good Players" will sit there behind a wall and spend all game poking out shooting and then hiding. What fun is that. Uninstalled, this game is dead to me."
