"It's a meh conquest/Battlefield/Battlefront style game. Good at killing time though. It is fun and you can get it on the cheap, goes on sale for like $15 every few months. At $15 I think it's good value. Anything above and you'll be disappointed. Gives me an my friends a lot of laughs.
The game gets a ton of extra criticism because the game was originally supposed to be an MMO like Planetside. The higher ups on the team who wanted it to be an MMO all quit and left when they started running into tech problems and couldn't get enough funding to make it a huge MMO.
The guys who are working on it now are literally the people in the office who decided not to throw in the towel and not quit. They get a lot of shit thrown their way, but really they are the peons who stuck on the sinking ship and are trying to right it. It's a shitty situation for the devs all around, but if you look at the monthly patch notes, and the idea board that they have where you can submit ideas, and all that, you can't say they aren't trying to make something good here."
