I cannot believe with YEARS of hindsight, two failed attempts and an absurdly high budget from one of the biggest coorporations in the world, they still managed to fuck so many things up.

At the very least 4v4 game modes are pretty great, (other than skill based matchmaking) movement, weapon varitety and balancing and maps are all WAY better than 4 and 5. But what they really fucked up is the progression, yes everyones already said this but the only way to unlock customisation is a battle pass that you can only progress by completing challenges. This is obviously terrible and shockingly stupid, even fortnite, which this game has clearly copied with it's monitisation, gives you xp to progress just by playing.

Big team battle feels wrong, maybe it's the skill based matchmaking but unlike 4v4 it feels much more like hiding and shooting enemies from far away is the most effective tactic. Vehicles are so incredibly weak, you'd think that after adding a grappling hook (which is severly effective against vehicles) they would make the vehicles a bit stronger.

After thinking about it I wish they didn't go free to play, at least give bonuses to people who have bought the game. It felt less special when it came out, and i'm sure if it wasn't free the progression and customisation would have been better
