The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them as outdated, likening them to PlayStation 1 visuals, while others find them decent for the time of release and even superior to those in CS:GO. Additionally, there are concerns about the HUD size on higher resolutions, which can detract from the overall experience. Overall, while some players appreciate the visual style, others feel it falls short of modern standards.
“Decent graphics at the time it was released.”
“I've played this game for a good long time... the game has way better graphics than CS:GO, way cooler guns, similar playstyle to CS:GO... it's almost like an upgraded version of CS:GO that people don't play as much anymore.”
“The gun sounds feel like they came from a free sounds website, the graphics look like something from a PlayStation 1, and I feel like this would be some cheap Chinese pay-to-win game.”
“Only thing I don't like and wish was more like CS:GO is the zombies, but again with better graphics.”
