Kept getting called multiple slurs and no-no words because I said someone turned their back to an enemy, then they proceeded to full magdump hold-the-trigger and miss every shot as they body blocked multiple people. Someone called in an airstrike and said "this bombing run was fact checked by real American patriots" and we all died because they bombed on top of us. No one's going to objectives half the time, people cant aim for shit, you have nobody going Commander or Observer despite half the lobby being level 400+, and no one seems to be able to throw incendiaries when their teammates AREN'T in the doorway.

In almost any other game with some sort of competitive nature, I'd hate the game. Or, I'd be mad, slinging my own no-no words like David in the bible hurling them at the great tism Goliath. But this game is magic. It's like I'm in middle school again playing Bad Company 2 all over again. I don't feel mad when these things happen. I don't get frustrated when my teammates are just treating the game as a point-and-click adventure. I have a smile on my face all while the very western-accented man with Korean text as his steam name is just mag dumping into forefingers, and the Russian named player is dogshit (and his steam profile is all in English), and I'm using an lmg on a tripod to hold a point. Was that a pick-up truck with an MG on the back? It drove off course and fell in a ditch. Did I get mad and say the game is unpolished and stupid and bad? NO! I say, the game is kino and wonderful and stupid!

This is the game you're looking for if you're typing away in Discord servers with tears rolling down your cheeks because "CoD isn't like it was in the good old days" as your hair grays. This is the game you're looking for when Ready or Not isn't really doing it after an hour or so as you think back to trying to capture B on Metro in BF3 (and how ass that one-sided map was). This is the game you're looking for when you get genuinely enraged when you think about every modern shooter because "it just ain't like it was when I was a youngin'." This one is the one. This is absolutely the game, the most modern FPS shooter I can stomach, and it's kino. The fact I got this on sale for 9 dollars is insane to me. I've had more fun out of those 9 dollars than I have with some 60 dollar games. I've had more fun with these 9 dollars I spent than the hundreds of dollars I have spent on some card games. I've had more fun because of 9 dollars compared to the nearly 2 grand I dropped on a Vegas vacation years ago. 9 dollars. I don't actually know how much this game normally costs outside of Steam sales, but whatever the number is, I can't imagine it being "too much" for what I paid for.
