The game's story aspect is currently minimal, with many players noting a lack of a cohesive narrative and describing the missions as primarily focused on gameplay rather than storytelling. While there is anticipation for the upcoming "Black Hawk Down" campaign, which is expected to provide a more engaging narrative experience, the existing missions often feel repetitive and disconnected from a deeper storyline.

- “For me personally, the storyline seems a bit detached from the gameplay; it is also somewhat a placeholder for the multiplayer gameplay.”
- “Thin single-player campaign: while enjoyable, the story lacks emotional depth and fails to leave a lasting impact.”

- “This is a cheap free-to-play cash grab that literally copies almost the entire design language of Battlefield 2042 and it does it way worse, while trying to claim to be a legendary and nostalgic IP from 2 decades ago...”
- “The maps are a nightmare, the gameplay is chaotic and unrewarding, and the monetization is a straight-up scam.”

The emotional aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with many players expressing disappointment over the lack of depth in the story and character development, leading to a failure to create a lasting emotional impact. While some players found moments of joy and immersion, particularly in gameplay mechanics, others felt frustrated and disillusioned, citing a disconnect between their expectations and the game's execution. Overall, the emotional resonance of the game appears to be overshadowed by technical issues and gameplay frustrations, leaving many players feeling let down.
- “It really made me feel like I was part of the game world.”

- “I want this game to succeed because this is the first game that has made me feel the same rush as Tarkov.”
- “Those games are a terrible rip-off of everything. There are only three games in this entire thing, two of which can only be played and are not even interesting at all. They have a very boring storyline, and the graphics and animations are pretty terrible. The game is not interesting at all, and it's like if you want to play a crappy version of Battlefield 2042, here's your game. The gameplay and fight mechanics are god-awful. The recoil for the machine gun turrets is horrendously terrible; I have never seen anything this bad in a game before. There's no stabilization for the turrets, and it takes too many rounds to kill someone. This game is seriously not worth it. I would rather play Battlefield 2042 than this, but sadly I'm forced to play this because nothing else is decent on the market. Playing this game feels worse than anything I've ever played; it's on the scale of how No Man's Sky was when it first got released.”
- “The game is just broken trash, full of cheaters, and has a heavy slop feel. The extraction mode is terrible, the battlefield mode is low intensity and boring, and the story lacks any polish. The operators feel woke, and there is no balance or PvE modes. The campaign will probably suck as well, so don't bother. Multiplayer gaming feels dead.”
