8 years of development game still feels like straight ass go buy operator 100x better for less

1.0 release was just a marketing ploy

Get operator

1.0 Better have all the meat this game is missing cuz this game doesn't hit like other existing titles. Want a rainbow six type of game like this is trying to achieve get Ready or Not. Like weapon customization a little too much get Operator and if the game is to easy for ya get Tarkov.

1.0 release and we get 2 missions....

I genuinely don't understand how this game made it to a 1.0 release. The movement feels awful, the graphics look like they're straight out of 2015, and the AI is some of the dumbest I've ever seen. Enemies either instantly one-tap you in the head or spend their time running into walls like complete idiots. There is no in-between. The maps are empty and lifeless. Barely any environmental detail, almost no props, and the extraction points are literally just a cheap green smoke effect with a terrible animation. This game has supposedly been in development for years. I get it, maybe it's a small team or even a solo developer. But calling this a full release? Seriously? If I bought this game as a brand-new player without knowing its history, I'd refund it within the first two hours without thinking twice. It honestly feels like the bare minimum amount of work was done just to squeeze more money out of people. The new 1.0 missions are embarrassing. One is basically recycled content, and while the new map is... new, that's about the nicest thing I can say. The environments, textures, and overall presentation feel like they're at least ten years behind modern games. After getting frustrated, I went back to Ready or Not, and the difference is night and day. Sure, Ready or Not is starting to show its age too, and I know it had a much bigger budget and team. But if you're deciding where to spend your money, I'd recommend Ready or Not every single time. The online experience is also terrible. I expected a tactical shooter, but every public lobby is full of people sprinting around like it's Call of Duty. If that's the experience I wanted, I'd just go play Call of Duty. The UI is ugly, the customization is clunky, and attaching accessories to your weapon is way more complicated than it has any right to be. I spent half an hour fighting the weapon editor just to get a simple optic setup that other games let you make in seconds. Overall: Strongly do NOT recommend. There are far better tactical shooters out there that actually respect your time and your money.

Expectations were not high, redownloaded after years of no content. Two barebones operations with AI slop voices, no friendly AI. Armor is in but I couldn't even tell the difference. This is 1.0 in name only. After waiting patiently for 6+ years I think I'm just done with this game.
