I may have never been so disappointed in a game and a studio. THIS is what the supposedly "veteran ex-DICE team" came up with? I couldn't finish my first match, i was so disgusted.
I am baffled how bad everything is. The scale, the ambiance, the visuals... still feels like a pre-alpha concept of a very shitty idea.
This game will be a HUGE flop and a complete disaster for Embark Studios. Damn.

Downloading now.
Seems like it's worth checking out, hopefully it's good.
Trailer seems interesting enough.

Release this game, take the funds and build a Battlefield killer in this engine.

After this game the only thing they will develop is regret.

Tried it earlier this year.
Definitely wasn't what I was expecting.
Uninstalled within 20 minutes.

going to give this a shot just because when I get a chance. I did watch some videos before but I was not a fan of what I saw initially

Looks like Fortnite but in first person.
I don’t mind the former part but first person genre is dated Imo.

I don’t like the constrictive view point, it was fine when 3PS was too taxing, but now we can get better, first person is just too limited.

You guys want to know what a casino floor sounds like? Play this game. I'm not even talking about the coin jizz everywhere but the actual beeps and chimes are exact sound cues from slot machines. Subliminal gambling cues put into a free-to-play game? That's for you to decide.
Also, does every zoomer-marketed-color-palate game need to have characters with animal ears? I guess having a murder simulator with cute cat/rabbit/panda ears makes the poison go down easier.

I can't get to the main menu on PS5.

What did you think of the logo text?
I'd give the splash screen a 8/10. Nice and clean.
9/10 very clean

And Aimbots/wall hacksmouse vs gamepads like in BF2042?

First impression after 5 games. I think it's decent fun at it's core so far. The controls, it's a matter of using all my tools as I didn't instinctively use all my gadgets on command. That would have saved me at times during cashout. I only was able to use the default gun(AK) but it felt ok. Also little things like wanting to slide around things while in combat to help flank only to get melee. Remembering the buttons will come with time.
Visually it looks good and the destruction is cool. I didn't have any crashes on my PS5 but I got a weapon visual stick/glitch during the tutorial. Anyways, I set my region to NA. Crossplay seems to be off by default at least for the beta. Didn't have any connection issues on my trash internet. Will continue to play the beta periodically.

Beyond this being another stupid "competitive" shooter this is a deal breaker for me anymore. I'm sick of it.

Played on PS5. One game. It’s not like trailers. It doesn’t feel good. I’m so used to CoD, that if a MP game feels worse. I won’t play it. Also, the one game I played one team was already gas bombing the cash out things. I didn’t like it. Uninstalled already. I already dread all the other GAAS shooter stuff that’s coming out next year.

Very meh game. Solid 5/10.
Gladly the amount of assist on controller (at least on PC) is not so pathetic like CoD and Halo.

Agree, game is meh. The destruction physics are amazing though. Why can't COD with 10x the budget have destruction on that level?

First match: Turrets everywhere.
Second match: I picked the "heavy" class, every other player looked way to smaller. Quite jarring.
And that was it for me. The graphics looks good and the destruction is fine. However, the gameplay felt weird, like floaty or something, it reminded me of Hyper Scape (that battle royale game from Ubisoft), but worse.
Also, it's a Nexon game, so obviously at the main menu the game already pushed for the battle pass and other microtransactions.
Overall, I disliked the gameplay loop and I rather not play it.

Just tried it out for a match. Not really a fan of that type of announcer in any game. The graphics are pretty nice and everything seems to be pretty nice overall too. Not feeling the bait of using DLSS 3 since a game like this needs the actual performance over the appearance of performance with laggier controls. Anyways, the gunplay seems okay overall but I would need more time. Not A fan of the main mode of the game though but I appreciate someone trying to release something new/different in this day and age.

Maybe, maybe not.
Well, I think its both that and this.
I think people need to remember, if this is ex-DICE team, why the fuck would anyone be shocked at a meh beta? Will it release with issues? well fuck yes lol Will it get the same strong long term support....who knows.
With MP titles, flops can happen. I think Finals can find its home in the MP realm, but if it does flop, I wouldn't be too shocked tbh. MP market is absolutely fucking nuts. You could be on top one minute and dethroned by some new ass MP game with 100 million users lol
I think The Finals has a better chance imho

Aight, I think I just had my most fun matches in a mp shooter in a loonnnnnngggg time that wasn't from the Battlefield franchise. Getting more use to the traversing and gadgets I can pretty much use them on the fly anytime instinctively. I had teammates that absolutely knew what they were doing, they definitely had to be partied up. We had some setups going. Im going to show my bros this game and see if they're interested enough to try with me. We were just going to play Helldivers 2 together but this may also be something we could play. Looking to be my first f2p game that I actively play.
Also forgot that I had Victrix Pro BFG that I could use for shooters lol. Set my thumbsticks asymmetrically and mapped my slide and melee buttons to the paddles. Instant improvement. Definitely not using my DualSense for this anymore.
