A lot of money spent on production value and adding paid cosmetics in the game. None of it went into design or balancing.
Game is trying to be fast paced and traversal heavy like Titanfall but feels incredibly clumsy and destructive environments make it even worse. Match making sucks, good chance you will start with a less than full team and be at a disadvantage. 1/4 of the way through someone will join your team, see you are at a disadvantage and leave. This happens 3 times a game.
Worst part of all is that every gun in this game feels like you are swinging a limp dick. They do minimal damage and even the medium 'sized' contestants are bullet sponges. 3 shotgun blasts to the face and I still have to elbow them in the face 4 more times?
This game sucks.
