I haven't played too much of this game, but coming from a beginner perspective I can't really recommend this game. I understand that this game has an edge to it, and that the realism is what appeals to people. But that isn't part of my problem. The community of this game is one of whiniest most annoying community I've ever played with. It's a game where I feel all of the joy is sucked out because half of the lobby in every match seems to be complaining about ... SOMETHING. They say a core element of this game is communication, but people seem to use that to just whine in your ear all the time, it's why I just stopped communicating all together. Another big problem I have with this game is a rather subjective one. I feel the maps are just too large sometimes. I know they space them out to give more time in between objectives, but the problem is my frames are genuinely paying the toll, and on the lowest settings. Also I can't play the game in 1080p and fullscreen (I have a 1440p monitor). Another issue is I can't easily remap my keys, if you try to change a keybind and assign it to a key that is currently bound it just straight up doesn't allow you. You can't unbind keys either. Which is really confusing and frustrating for keys that have multiple functions. So I have an annoying lobby, low frames on lowest settings, and controls that I'm not comfortable with. And my last gripe with this game is that there's hardly any weapons. There's like 3 main guns for either side and that's it. I know the game hasn't been out for long, but it's a really bad first impression if you ask me. Rising Storm 2 has a ton of weapons and multiple factions. Overall I'd say the game has a lot of potential but it's really irritating to play sometimes. Because die and won't respawn for like 45 seconds then you'll probably have to walk like 400 meters, then get shot from some dude hiding in a bush, while your squad leader is complaining about how "no one is pushing the point." And yeah maybe it's a "skill issue." But with all the other stuff giving me every incentive to not play the game I'd say I don't care. It's just not fun, because of the community and because of the lack of content. And yeah I get why the whole "boots on the ground" can appeal to a TON of people, because it makes you feel like a grunt. And it appeals to me too, but given all of the other problems this game has, it's actually a negative atp.
