The verdict
A short, grounded Afghanistan campaign with great sound and gunplay, hurt on PC by DRM, launch failures, soft-lock bugs and no FOV option. Skip it if you want multiplayer or a long game.
Great for
Fans of short, grounded, story-driven military shooter campaigns who buy on sale
Main risk
Game may not launch (EA key/DRM) or soft-lock, and the campaign is only about 4-5 hours

Recent positive reviews praise the story, realism and gunfeel, and some note it runs fine, including on Linux/Proton. Recent negatives mostly cite scripting bugs and dated design. The reason for the shift isn't clear.
