OPERATOR

flagrant racism in the voicelines (references to stereotypes of middle eastern natives), toxic ass community (absolutely flooded with queerphobia and racism) who knew milsim larpers who use cag at every opportunity could be bad people EDIT: forgot that the mission briefings are the most awful, stereotypical written objectives: "capture ISIS's chief bomb-maker" because that's how extremist groups work "this guy controls the entire flow of information" because local guerrilla forces always have the 'intel guy' the writers assume that the only way extremist cells can possibly stand against the US is by being hyper-coordinated and professional. it entirely misses the fact that the US has made so many enemies with its foreign policy that their enemies are just that numbered, and falls into pitfalls and assumptions of grandeur in an attempt to make direct action justified.

Solid game for about a week, at the moment. Needs another year of work before this could possibly hold players attention. There simply isnt enough to play. Has amazing bones(foundation), has bugs riddled throughout, and a complete lack of proper reward for completing any mission. PvP is local but could've been awesome with matchmaking. Wave survival is a major waste of time, lack of fortification/preparation, and the AI throughout the game is too "dumb". Worth trying for the experience. While at the same time, it's more worth waiting for a better game.

If your PC can play GTA 5 and Ready or Not, it can / should be able to handle this game too. It's not (yet?) fully optimized and most of my settings for my old PC are set on low, but it does not reduce the overall gameplay, If this thing gets an editor, it could be very quickly one on one with Arma 3, at least in my opinion. The missions are not at all perfect but playable and gives a great hint for the future features. NVG with ECOTI, awesome and FINALLY an easy to change offsetting for the weapons when not aiming, because of that sometimes I even dont use the aim-key but just raise the rifle from low-ready and I see my reticule - this feels very natural and enables me to react much faster . I wrote to the developer, especially about this long wanted feature: make it adjustable and savable for each weapon (easy for canted sights) not just a general setting (some weapons are just to different). I just love it. If you did not yet, try it now! Help the developers and if you have not done it yet, write to them to give every weapon the X, Y offset PLUS rotation. <3

so i get killed in pitch black darkness , suppresor on and going super tactical mode clear before move but when i shoot the first guard then BOOM all AI knows how to see me in the dark and knows where i am. can devs plz fix this ♥♥♥♥ ?

The enemy behaviour was the biggest surprise. Once alerted, enemies investigated, moved towards my position and repeatedly forced me to react. They were not flawless, but they created proper tactical pressure and regularly caught me looking in the wrong direction. The weapon handling is equally impressive. Physically checking the chamber, operating the weapon and managing individual magazines gives every reload and ammunition decision real importance. The audio is excellent. Gunfire sounds powerful, explosions are genuinely alarming and the smaller mechanical details help make the weapons feel convincing. Performance was also extremely smooth throughout my session, despite several obvious Early Access faults. The main weakness is unquestionably the UI. Preparing a weapon and carrying enough ammunition should not be as confusing as it currently is. Detailed simulation naturally requires learning, but the challenge should come from understanding the equipment rather than fighting the menus. Outdoor movement also feels too slow when trying to escape incoming fire. I eventually found the faster sprint, but it still lacked the urgency I expected. Despite those problems, I thoroughly enjoyed OPERATOR. I have only tested a small part of the game, so I cannot yet judge its full mission variety, progression or multiplayer experience. Based on what I played, however, the core tactical experience is already very strong. [h3]Sim UK Verdict[/h3] OPERATOR combines aggressive enemy behaviour, excellent audio and detailed weapon handling to create tense and unpredictable firefights. The UI needs substantial improvement, and several Early Access faults remain, but none of them prevented me from enjoying the combat. For me, OPERATOR is already a highly promising tactical shooter and one I definitely want to return to—preferably with a coordinated team.

buggy mess.

Trust me when I say this... buy this instead of Ground Branch!! Operator runs decnet sometimes, it feels smooth, and is much better optimized with its recent 0.95 update. The gameplay is responsive, the gunplay is satisfying and the customization is top tier fun to play around with!!

This is single handedly the best game ive played in last few years. Hats down to the dev

I LOVE WAR CRIMES!!!!

i come from games like tarkov, arma, and dayz and i just want to say that this game has potential, but right now it's not worth the money. The AI is abysmal and will shoot through walls trees at near impossible angles. The gunplay is very buggy for me, my guys arms are constantly shaking even when i load in to a raid with fresh hp. I'll go to ADS and my scope will just be black (yes i adjusted it on the gun bench) other times i'll be ADS and then crouch and my scope will go completely black. audio is absolutely terrible.
