Good potential

So it’s a great game don’t get me wrong good graphics guns everything but there are lots of glitches and I can’t play a single game because people keep team killing everyone I know there’s not much you can do maybe make a team killing free mode I also didn’t get a lot of time to play because of the crashes and glitches but u can see lots of potential and goods things coming from this I get it’s early access so there’s bound to be glitches but keep on working hard devs and don’t listen to the negative comments all things have haters keep pushing through and working great job

A Masterclass in Overpromising and Under

I backed TIER ONE on Kickstarter with $5,000, believing in the grand vision sold to us. Tactical realism, next-generation graphics, fluid gameplay—these were the promises. What we received, however, is an undercooked, barebones shooter that makes Onward (2016) look like a masterpiece of innovation. Let’s start with the features—or lack thereof. No bots. Barely any guns. Sound design that feels like it was ripped from a royalty-free library. The gunplay, supposedly the core of the experience, lacks weight, impact, and proper feedback. And the frame rate? Unacceptable, even by early-access standards. The graphics were touted as cutting-edge, yet what we have is something that barely scrapes by as "functional." Low-detail environments, poor animations, and lighting that looks like it was configured in a single afternoon. It’s as if the developers aimed for "next-gen realism" but landed somewhere between Operation Flashpoint and a Unity store asset flip. Worse yet, the developers’ priorities are baffling. Instead of investing in development, they somehow found the time and budget to purchase a quarter-million YouTube subscribers, manufacturing artificial hype while ignoring the real issues of their game. If only they had spent as much effort on gameplay depth as they did inflating their social media presence. For those of us who believed in TIER ONE and backed it in good faith, this release is nothing short of a betrayal. The game is a soulless shell of what was promised, lacking the fundamental elements that define a tactical shooter. As it stands, TIER ONE isn’t just a disappointment—it’s an embarrassment. Avoid at all costs.

Almost lost £200

I played this game it was unplayable the reason why is because of the bugs in it I can’t get a gun I only have a knife and when I tried to leave the game it crashed my head set and disconnected my right controller then I tried turning the head set of and it thought it was charging how the hell is that possible so I have to delete 3 games to go on my other games so if you don’t want to lose your head set THEN DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Developers fix your game

It's free now?

I bought this game... I thought about refunding it but thought it would get some updates and get better. Now, months later there is still no single player campaign. There is nobody online to play with. And the tutorial level is just as janky as it was before. The worst part about it... Now it's a free game. I spent 15 bucks on something I could have gotten for free. It's that bad. You can't even give this game away and get players. Ugh. What a mess. The guns don't feel good, the graphics and sound are sophomoric at best. It's just terrible. I try to be constructive and polite in my reviews but this is a pile of crap and shouldn't even be allowed on the meta store.

fun but unfinished

I think this game has a lot of potential, but it crashed my entire headset 3 times to the point where I had to restart it. I think it could be way better if they added new maps and gamemodes and stuff and there aren't many people playing, in al of my time playing I think I have seen 2 full lobby's Max But overal pretty fun game
