Cons:
- Had the game revert back to using HDR (which I don’t have) and no way to turn it off in the menu.
- Feels just like the old game.
- Short out-of-bound timers.
- Controls feel too light and floaty.
- Ai is really good even on very easy.
- Not aimed at introducing or helping new players.
- No dirt tech! I mean the mud is just a texture and doesn’t react or even move.
