The graphics have received mixed reviews, with many players noting that they appear outdated and choppy, reminiscent of older DirectX 9 games, even on high-end systems. While some improvements over previous titles are acknowledged, the textures are often described as bland and repetitive, with issues like poor anti-aliasing and lag during gameplay. Overall, there is a consensus that significant enhancements are needed to elevate the visual experience.
- “The graphics are a lot better than MWO, and the gameplay is a lot smoother, in my opinion.”
- “The graphics are right now fairly rough, but I expect texture updates eventually.”
- “The graphics aren't phenomenal, though respectable; the gameplay mechanics work, though they do need a lot of work, and the developers have stated that is part of their plan, which is good.”
- “Even the graphics for what they are look like I'm back playing a game in DX9.”
- “The graphics are still very choppy, especially textures (even on a high-end rig) & it's easy to get 'lost' in the polygons of buildings ('ghost town' map).”
- “Graphics are so plain and bland, even on a high-end PC running in 4K resolution!!!”

The game lacks a dedicated story mode, which disappoints players who prefer single-player experiences, although some narrative elements are present in the game modes. Players appreciate the introduction of new contract missions that provide content for solo play, but the absence of a tutorial or clear gameplay descriptions is noted as a drawback. Overall, while there are hints of a story, the focus remains on mission-based gameplay rather than a cohesive narrative.
- “New contract missions give something for players looking for single player missions to do.”
- “New contract missions give something for players looking for single player missions to do.”
- “Cons: no story mode (yet it seems to have some story mentioned in game modes) no tutorial or description for gameplay.”
- “I'm not a fan of online game playing (I far prefer single player missions & campaign modes), so I'm pretty excited about this game.”
- “They need to set up co-op bots and missions for single play!”

The game continues to suffer from significant bugs nearly two years post-launch, impacting overall playability and leaving the multiplayer experience lacking due to a low player base. Despite these issues, many users believe the game has great potential.
- “Almost two years later, this game is still too buggy to play.”
- “Granted, the game is still buggy, and not many people play it, so the multiplayer section is kinda bleak, but the game has amazing potential.”
