'83

This game deserves its downfall and deserves even more to never climb out being dead. Starting with CEO and CFO enaging in conspiracy to defraud and deliberate misrepresentation by hiring people to work on the game including myself as a Level Designer under promises of pay to later entirely drop contractual obligations. Deliberately misleading its customers for representing ex Rising Storm developers despite the fact the only soul on board is one RS2 programmer, while CEO didnt even ship a single game except for DLC for Red Orchestra 15 years ago. This group never listened to its testers and was hellbent on separating itself from Rising Storm yet continuing to claim be a successor. Territories and free aim was never planned right until first public demo last year, major problems of development cycles were ignored and additional content of Switzerland, Cuba, Japan, Ural, Cosmodrome passed over in extremely large quantities from IGI Origins by original publisher were simply scrapped in favour of half baked slop the game shipped with. Being afraid to give full control to the development team passionate about Rising Storm and choosing to cherry pick topics worthy of attention, furthemore prohibiting to listen to the tester feedback. Investors warned the dev team that they dont make decisions that are good for the game or the business, failure to meet playerbase expectations of a long awaited sequel while themselves refusing to play any videogames in the modern market took its toll, the game is dead. Petty attitude and refusal to properly credit people on their initial involvement that allowed to gain investor attention is a petty childish behavior and I dont recommend anyone to engage with this game or its members.

Unplayable. Truly. This game is a joke. There is literally no one. Literally... Not a single person playing it. The current online players is 0 and fluctuates to 2. You cant even get into a multiplayer match to tell if the game is good or not. This is absolutely insane. They should've waited for a full release and then possibly it would've meant something. Instead we get a cashgrab; "Give me money to beta test". It hasn't worked. There are no servers. It has a 24 hour peak of 35 players, this is less than half a server. I'll leave this review up for a while and then I'm going to refund it. What a complete waste of 6 years of hype and excitement; A tragedy.

There were literally ZERO, I mean ZERO active players in the server browser. Cannot recommend this game given the lack of players.

I was looking forward to this. I booted it up and spent a few minutes in the gun range mode. The models are great, the sound is great, the gunplay feels good. Then I tried to join a server to play. I was quite excited. There were two dozen servers, not a single one had any players. I wanted to like this and have been waiting for it for years. It's sad to say reviews saying not to buy this because no one is playing might become a self-fulfilling death knell for this game's future, but even getting it on sale, I immediately refunded it. Do with this info what you will, but the developers need to be honest with people that the reason it's on sale (for $15, which is not that cheap for a sale) is because literally no one is playing it. For an empty PvP game, who would pay even $15?

THEY DID A GREAT JOB ... CAPTURED HOW THE INTRO TO MODERN WARFARE COLD WAR. THIS HOW IT SHOULDVE WENT !!!! LOTS OF ALREADY THERE POTENTIAL WE JUST NEED PLAYERS GET THIS GAME!!! EVEN GIFT IT TO YOUR FRIENDS !!!!!!!!

Dead game. There are 2 servers that are ever active and neither can fill the player slots. People bought this on the hopes that it would continue the RO/RS legacy and it has failed completely. Devs should refund and delist the game.

Among the many milsim (military simulation) games I’ve tested, here is finally a game featuring a lean mechanic that lets you rack up over 15 kills and top the PvP Team Deathmatch leaderboards—just like in the old days—provided you have the experience and time to master flanking tactics and game mechanics. Plus, there don't seem to be too many cheaters, and you can still hold your own against them thanks to features like good cover, fast respawns, one-shot kills, and player-placed spawn points. I’m certain that future updates—likely including improved weapon customization via earned skill points—will make it even more enjoyable, and perhaps we’ll even see a campaign or a modern-day mode. With a solid marketing campaign, I’m sure "83" will climb to the top of the Steam charts; other developers should really take a page out of their book. For now, it's a bit of a shame that you can usually only find one server that's nearly full—mostly early in the evening, leaving just enough time for a few hours of gameplay—since the game isn't very well-known yet.

This game has no one playing it Ill buy it again if it gets finished.

Very good - got it on 50% sale. The game is early access so I find it really annoying to see people rating this game as if it is some 5 star microsoft multi million investment. The devs are really good at responding to bugs and always take suggestions into consideration. Please remember this game is in an early access stage! Thanks. It is really fun though.

I'm a good little chud and i upvote my larpslop, even if I have to larp alone :hearbreak:
