Many reviews suggest that reducing the ad frequency or making them optional would significantly enhance the gaming experience.
“Their in-app purchases are totally worth it; so much for so little given. If you ever have a thought about buying anything, do it; it's worth it.”

“Honestly, this is one of my favorite games. Really good gameplay, and the in-game purchases are pretty cheap (keep it like that, please), so I give it a 5/5.”
“The ads are just destroying the fun I had to play this game.”
“This game is full of advertisements. What's the point of all these weapons and game modes when you can only play them for 1 minute? I join the match and the first thing that happens is this ad pops up and closes the match.”

“This game is my top 1 favorite game because of the good graphics, awesome gameplay, and multiplayer.”
“Great graphics for a mobile game.”
“I love this game; the graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth.”
“The graphics are pale and the reloading animation sucks.”
“Graphics are trash; a month or so ago it would boot up and play fine, now it lags and crashes. The menus are nice and all, but that's the only nice part. The default controls are slow, and turning the sensitivity up just slows down the game. Would not recommend.”
“Was a great game, but after the update it just failed because before the 'graphic beta update' I was getting 60 to 61 fps. Now I can't even get 40 fps; I can't play the game at 28 to 31 fps. So bad update, I'm removing this game sadly.”

“Smooth performance on my 4GB RAM phone and excellent graphics even in low quality.”
“This game is very awesome but this game needs to be optimized and server crash needs to be solved.”
“But there needs to be more optimization; having to load a JPG every time you or anybody dies slows down the frame rate. It still floats at about 57 FPS, but it feels like 11 frames a second when it bogs down. The engine just does not handle this very well. The older version seemed to be running smoother, but that was 2 years ago.”
“I poured dozens of hours into this game, and I'd really appreciate it if, in the near future, you provide some optimization instead of all the 'bug fixes.'”
