- “The story only comes together in the last few levels, which is a huge disappointment compared to the first.”

- “The cleaning recap freezes and sometimes shows dirt where it's supposed to be cleaned. Equipment bugging out, gun loadouts resetting back to default for no reason every time you enter a mission. My biggest complaint is it feels way too buggy to be a released game; it feels like a beta.”
- “This game is an absolute buggy mess. If I wanted buggy games, I'd go play something from Bethesda.”
- “The multiplayer is very buggy with it taking maybe 15 minutes of attempts before multiplayer lobbies actually work, and there are many ways to be softlocked during multiplayer.”

- “This here really kills the replayability of the campaign.”
