Um wow, where should I begin on why this game is completely horrible. I guess I will start by saying...
I'll start by talking about the core of the game. It's a third person shooter with missions that are given to you when you spawn in a city, with two sides playing against each other, cops and robbers style basically. The criminals versus the enforcers.
Missions are randomly received and you can pick//decline// them as you choose however this will probably be changed in an upcoming patch that will force you to play whatever mission you receive. Which is just another huge mistake they will do because a lot of these missions ARE NOT balanced. What I mean by that is, a ton of them favor one side so much that it can be down right frustrating to play some of them.
The multiplayer aspect of the game isn't very multiplayer or massive to be honest with you. There are two cities to play in, the waterfront and financial district. Neither of these cities is very large, in fact they are both quite small. Each of these cities has a player cap of 100. There are no rules regarding how many enforcers or how many criminals could or should be in the cities. For example you could have 99 criminals and only 1 enforcer playing in one of these cities.
There are 4 players max to a group when you create a group. You can call for backup if you are soloing missions or if you are verse players way above your own level. On average the most action you will see is 4v4 or lower while you are playing. The design they chose for this is absolutely horrendous. There is no level or balance cap at all. Meaning... you could be playing against someone with WAY, WAY higher upgrades than you and get completely steam rolled by them.
Missions are repetitive and boring. There is practically no content in the game at all. As a criminal you can Mug pedestrians and ram raiding shop fronts but there is literally NO POINT to it at all. There is just no REASON to do it AT ALL. So why the hell is it in the game lol ? I don't know. Perhaps if there was actually some kind of decent reward or purpose for doing these things they wouldn't be entirely boring and completely useless.
Some missions feel like they were not play tested as some of them are literally almost impossible to beat. They favor one side or one position so much sometimes that you just can not beat a particular part of the mission resulting in a loss. Simply put, a lot of missions were not play tested at all. There are quite a few missions like this and when they change it so you will be forced to play any mission you get... well all I can say is, it wont end well.
You can drive any car you see on the streets and buy your own car and put your own designs on it that you make in the designer booth for cars.
Content is sparse at best. There are upgrades for weapons and characters and cars but they are limited and do not change the physical look of anything. There are only a few selections and the only upgrades from these selections are the same upgrades only in level 1, level 2, level 3, form. The only real form of customization is basically which weapon you choose to use from other players, or which kind of car you choose to use from other players. Same with upgrading vehicles. There's just no content in this game.
There are many many hardware bugs in this game and bugs in general in the gameplay everywhere.
There is no in-game support or GM's.
There is no anti-cheat in the game, if there ever was it was the worst anti-cheat I've ever seen. There are more hackers in this game than actual players, and there aren't many players.
This game was and STILL IS in beta form and that wont ever change unless its completely overhauled, and that wont ever happen. The missions weren't playtested, the weapons weren't playtested, there are only two cities to play in and they are small. There's practically no content in this game at all. Once you have played the game for around 10 hours you've seen and done everything the game has to offer. They aren't even really cities as you can't even go into the buildings all you can do is run through alleyways and drive/run on the streets. I mean wtf this is supposed to be an MMO isn't it? Guess not.
Enforcers get special stun weapons while criminals only get standard weapons while enforcers get the same exact standard weapons that the criminals get, only they get overpowered stun weapons as well that they can use to arrest you. Seems pretty fair right? Nope. Because its not.
Honestly, hands down... this was a complete waste of time and development resources. The people who designed and made this game should retire asap or start a career change.
