It's rampant with non English speaking individuals and 10 year old kids who use no strategy. The premis of the game is pretty good and the weapons/fighting use of the UI to skills are decent. But they truly need to implement a US only server and possibly a ignore buton that let's you not que up with individuals that are like 8 years old.

 

I had a guy on my team that I asked to run to the right and his response was "What err yer say about my country!" (face palm). Had another kid smacking on a sandwitch or gum while we were fighting which irritated me to the point I left the game. I will say the game is strongly based on paying to win as well as the gear and weapons purchased gives a huge advantage when fighting another team without (and puts you on even ground with those levels above with decent unlocked weapons).

I don't know, I see this as a novelty PvP game but nothing to really go over board and yell as the second coming. 

 

Pros:

Easy to use and get into skills.

Fast paced UI to skills.

True to it's non online predecessor.

 

Cons:

A baby sitting game for those not yet hitting puberty.

Linear game play.

No mission with friends type of play other than PvP.

Pay to win type dynamic.

A very common mistake people make about GRO is that it's pay-to-win.   Well it's not that at all...pay-to-win means you pay money to get an advantage over players who don't pay....however, GRO is made in that nobody can use any gear unless your the appropriate level.   Therefore the only difference is what leve you are, your game knowledge/experience, communicaiton ability and skill in aiming.   

 

So pay-to-win would be say a level 15 player buys a level 30 gun from the shop and destroys peopel because that gun is OP....but in GRO, you have to get to level 30 to use a level 30 gun.  Even then, they aren't OP...they just seem that way because there are a lot of new players recently who haven't earned anything yet.  So they are running around with the bare minimum against higher level players who have high level gears and weapon proficiencies that give them higher crit chance.

 

So if anything is wrong with the game it's the fact that matchmaking is putting 1st time noobs in matches verse long time CB players....and it's just no restrictions on level brackets....all they have is level 1 - 5 noob bracket and 5 - 30 bracket...in one hour you can level out of the noob bracket and be thronw to the wolves.

 

Bottom line, they need to fix matchmaking or change the system so players can pick and choose what maps, matches and opponents they want to face.   That way you can pick to play against players equal your level until you get higher level and then feel comfortable playing against level 30's.

i tried this game about 3 months ago and then again about 1 month ago.  decent game,  it would be a whole better if there were other people playing.

I think the prostitute mod corrupted your game files man. -elhefen
