Only posting this for those looking to get into either this or HLL: Vietnam. Game is very fun, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you do not have patience, this is not the game for you.
Biggest issues aren't even the developers fault, rather the community.
If you create a private squad to play with friends, that's fine I get it and I hope you have a good match. HOWEVER if over half of the lobby is locked out because of private teams and you refuse to open up, you're a loser and you love the cool, refreshing taste of shaft.
VIP slots in the server browser are absolute blasphemy considering the fact there's only ever like 8-12 servers with a decent capacity going at all times. Your only options are wait 5-20 minutes hoping a slot opens up so you can play the last 5 minutes of an ongoing match OR join a half empty lobby that requires 20 minutes of walking just to see action.
While alot of squads are pretty chill, this game seems to have a never ending supply of sweat lord squad leads who micro manage and ♥♥♥♥♥ about every task YOU decide to do without their input. I've had exactly 8 different squad leads kick me out due to them having "little man syndome" with one guy even openly telling me that was his reason for kicking me. Keep in mind, this isn't for toxic behavior, this isn't for team killing accidentally. I was kicked on 8 occasions for squad leads telling me to fall back to an OP and responding with "I'm closer to the objective. I'll keep up on the offense for now, but as soon as I die I'll spawn at the garry and help defend." Not close as in like slightly. I would be roughly 100-200 meters out from an objective, actively engaging, and be ordered back to a spot 1km away. Would you as a reader rather A) Commit suicide and waste a full minute loading back into the match because some pizza faced Reddit moderator said please? or B) Use the time to try and damage enemy infrastructure, resources, or objectives before you die within 30 seconds anyway? Seems like a pretty obvious answer to me.
While these are all one off instances and the game is enjoyable, this is common enough to be spotted easily. If you end up getting this game and get frustrated, keep trying. There's always another server or squad who aren't a bunch of nerds and give you an enjoyable experience. If you don't end up getting it, avoid it until the "little men" leave their echo burrows.
