Game is pretty bad. I understand it is a tactical shooter but the controls are bad, spawns are on top of each other, no visuals for when you are getting shot, horrible AI, etc.

Maybe it isn't for me. I was excited by the videos, disappointed by the result though :(

      imo, your complaints about the things "easy to fix" are things that shouldn't be "fixed". They are part of the game.
