This game is awesome, but..

This game is so fun. The multi-player is really good, but they are so toxic sometimes. There are so many racist, anti LGBTQ+ and little kids that it's RARE to get in a server without at least one. You run into hackers every now and then, and it's so annoying. They almost never get banned because the devs hardly care about the players and just want money. The game fell off HARD. Until the devs start caring about the players and ban some of the hackers, underaged kids , racist and anti LGBTQ+, maybe they will gain more players. And maybe players that left because of these reasons. Single player might be the best right now but sometimes you get lucky and find a chill server without an underage kid or racist teenager who probably gets bullied at school. It suck they won't be updating the game anymore. It was fun, but the game will die pretty soon .

From a Seasoned player

Overall this is a really good game. It has its problems sure. Every game does. But part of its charm is the freedom to do what you want to in a mil sim. Are there allot of team kills? Yes, Underage kids, sure. Annoying rage baiters and racism. Yea that too. But out of the thousands of games I’ve played most of the players have a strong sense of community. If some one decides to pick on a little kid or get racist or not apologize for team killing the whole lobby bands together and keep the space respectable. And there is allot of trash talking. But most of it is healthy and lighthearted. Maybe not the greatest game to have a young child playing but in that sense is it really that different from Call of duty. The big difference is the lobbies are in the players hands. If you have a problem voice it in your lobby and the players will either agree with you or not all the complaints I’ve seen on here are purely becuse people can’t fathom a game being in the hands of the players but in my opinion. That’s exactly how it should be love this game even with its flaws it’s a great community overall don’t let a few bad apples ruin your experience or view of an otherwise great game

Dont get this gane

The game is so bad with getting team killers cannot play the game becuase of them and I kill them and then I get kicked for team killing once for defence. Meanwhile they get away with team killing me for 30 min straight this game is such a joke. Should get some moderators insted of putting all of the budget into the game play some people cant play becuase of the team killers game is a joke

Very underrated

As someone who's used real weapons, played airsoft, and prefers more of realistic simulation, onward nails that, even with body armor you can't just take a bunch of shots and keep walking, you don't get unlimited ammo unless you sit next to an ammo box. You actually have to be strategic, be careful with your shots, and keep cover. If you're looking for a realistic Sim shooter, this in my opinion, is the best one I've tried so far. Please don't let this game go underrated.

Good game just needs revived

Recent reviews have been all about toxic players but that’s because all the good ones left I have played this game for about three years now on many different accounts and I remember when there would be 12 pages of servers but the game is dying it needs more players😔 it’s probably the end for onward
