    Got in it yesterday, kinda hated how it controlled, feels really stiff, and i haven't played a fps on a game pad in ages so that doesn't help much. Made me wanna buy a TV with better resolution though i cant read barley any of the text. Games i jumped into though seemed pretty scarce of people, aiming and shooting didn't have a great feel to it, some of which may or may not just be me using a game pad. Game feels kind of stiff if i had to phrase a word for its feel.

    I agree about the gameplay. The shooting feels really awkward and the controls can be unresponsive at times. Additionally, there isn't any kind of tutorial that I saw for the actual in-game stuff. Out of the 1-and-a-half matches I've played, I had pretty much no clue what was going on the entire time. I also wasn't able to stay alive long enough to get my bearings. There are a lot of icons and shit cluttering up the UI, and most of it is meaningless to me without context. I'm not going to write this game off yet because I actually really like a lot of the systems surrounding the game. It has the potential to be incredibly deep for a game of this type. I just wish there was more explanation as to how exactly I'm supposed to go about playing it. I paid the $20 to satisfy my curiosity, which I'm glad I did, but I can't see myself playing this too much in its current state. I'm hoping very much that the final version of the game is substantially better, but I won't hold my breath.

    I haven't touched it all day today but since the recent update, they added a few new items and a less jankier look to the game.
