Solid fast paced FPS, free to play NOT pay to win. But if you are ganna pay, your going to need deep pockets!

I believe the Gamespot review is entirely misplaced, my only complaint in this game is the item pricing, however, the game is completely playable without spending a dime/penny. The only reason I felt compelled to spend money is because I love the game so much and wanted to customise my character but I couldn't on principle bring myself to support what in my view is verging on consumer extortion.

The Hardsuit is perfectly balanced, if it was a fraction faster everyone would have one toward the latter stages of a round, in reality I rarely use the Hardsuit. The graphics are great, the game play is face paced, the customisations are comprehensive but at the same time you can live without them and even if you used the same loadout you started the game with you can still be in the top 3, it's all about the skillz.

There have been a number of commercial reviews stating this game is 'just another FPS', I disagree, it is an FPS quite obviously but that doesn't mean it's like all the other shooters out there. A subtle blend of the right mechanics, game modes, customisations and graphics is what makes one FPS stand out from another. And this title stands out on exactly the right combination of the aforementioned qualities.

So my only gripe is the item pricing, free to play pricing models are relatively new to the market place so it's not surprising they are still finding their feet. I'd love to see the balance sheet of developers and if their over priced approach is actually working for them and bringing in the numbers. This is still my number 1 game of choice and I look forward to further developments.
