The verdict
A unique free-to-play MMOFPS with unmatched huge combined-arms battles, but right now constant crashes (even in the tutorial), cheaters and low population make it hard to recommend to new players.
Great for
Fans of huge combined-arms battles with infantry, tanks and aircraft who can tolerate an aging, buggy game
Main risk
Game crashes every few minutes, often in the tutorial, so you may not be able to play at all
What changed in the last 30 days
87 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews overwhelmingly report crashes after 2-5 minutes and tutorial crashes, with the sit-in-a-vehicle workaround. Several say crashing is worse since recent updates and has driven players away.
