“One of the once good games has been ruined by microtransactions and cheaters.”

Players express significant frustration with the game's replayability, primarily due to persistent lag and performance issues, especially on lower-end devices. While there are new content additions, such as guns and skins, many feel that these do not enhance the overall experience, leading to boredom and a lack of incentive to replay.

“The variety of modes and events ensures that there's always something new to experience, which greatly enhances the replayability.”
“But the negatives are also there: it just doesn't have enough content. Sure, there are 2 new guns, 90,000 skins, 1,000 crates, and rarely a new map, but it gets kind of boring. It doesn't really have replayability after getting the new guns.”
“It's not fun playing it anymore, especially for me with a low-end device. I can't see the enemies until I get close enough, and then they'll just pop out of the blue. The FPS drop is very annoying. Please fix your game and make it more playable for all players, not just those with good devices.”
“Please make the game more playable for phones. It's not fair, and it's not the old CODM I know.”
