The verdict
A free, stripped-down CoD 2/Promod-style WW2 arena shooter with good gunplay, but the player base is almost gone, so you'll mostly face bots. Skip it if you need real human matches.
Great for
Nostalgic CoD 2 / Promod fans who want free, quick bot matches or can bring friends
Main risk
Almost no human players online, so you'll mostly face bots
What players love
Bots let you play without a population
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 positive reviews

Weak maps, bunny hopping and balance
