I thought they were heading in the right direction during S2 but it seemed to have gone downhill since then IMO. I appreciate they have decided to release an S7 but I don't think I have played much since S5 or whenever they introduced the squad changes. I feel they missed a big opportunity with Portal. Maybe I hyped myself up too much about Portal. They left a bad taste in players' mouths in regards to disabling XP gained in Portal early on in the game's life.
They still use 45Hz servers (in 2023), no AOW server browser, and factions still look exactly the same because of Specialists. Outside of that, netcode/TTK issues are still there and I thought their decision to add dispersion to all weapons just randomized the game even more.
I am glad they worked on critical bug fixes and addressed things like keeping your crosshair in the center of the screen, but they dug themselves such a massive grave upon launch, that even after two years of live service, we are still below ground level imo.
It seems like every season we get let down or disappointed with the lack of content. Then get our hopes up with anything that exceeds their new bar.
The only hope is that they have taken notes and can actually apply lessons learned from this launch and game so they don't make the same mistakes. My fear is they won't, we have had a whole bunch of surveys, posts on here, on Reddit, in Discord, and yet they still either ignore the community or do something that no one asked for. They excel at being tone-deaf.
Some bugs have been fixed many still remain, 45 Hz servers, no rental servers, no server browser, missing squad tools, can't tell friend from foe "Same uniforms", cross play, and why can't I join a game with more than 3 other players or pick the server I wish to play on to name a few.
No, my opinion remains unchanged.
