My biggest complaints -The AI can be very tanky with body shots even when unarmored (Five shells of buckshot and a full Glock mag To kill one low tier enemy with body shots from 15ft away) -Severe frame drops -DLSS makes performance much worse than FSR -Not being able to make a character for each faction locks you out of playing with friends -something about the graphics makes the game very difficult to look at. At times it can be difficult to tell an enemy apart from and buildings from a distance -there is no way to rebind your voice chat key, which is Z for those of you that don't know because the game doesn't tell you, your voice chat is proximity based and radio based at the same time.

Looks like a pretty cool game. Something I think would be worth adding if they could do it is enemy patrols (although that might be too challenging for devs). It seems that all the AI enemies you run across are just hanging out in one spot until they get agro'd. But in the real world, enemy soldiers in addition to guards, will perform short patrols in their controlled area. So that would eliminate to a degree, players trying to camp and wait for other players when there is a higher chance that they'll be caught by the AI.

If you’re a dev/exec who is somehow reading this comment you are going to have a MASSIVE amount of eyes on this game and a huge number of Tarkov players coming over because we have been absolutely ABUSED by BSG. I’m praying this game is good.

How do all of the videos and pics of the game look so much cleaner and clear? i've tried all settings from low/high and nothing changes for me at all. Its just so super fuzzy/grainy. Cant make out clear figures past 40-50m. I've tried DLSS and FSR, all variants of their settings, tried adjusting sharpening but doesn't do much. i just cant get it to look clear enough to not give me a headache after a couple of minutes. Its like i have constant motion blur on. Any tips anyone could suggest for making it any more clear? I have a 3080. i'm running 80-100 fps on high settings dlss or fsr up to 150-160 so my frames dont seem to be an issue although i do experience the stutter but am aware of it being early access so i dont have a gripe about that. I just cant see anything! I stuck to running all high since low/med/high make zero visual changes for me. It's like im permanently stuck on low settings. Everyone is saying this games visuals are top notch but i'm not sure what to do to get it close to clear for me. It's not like i'm running a potato rig so i just dont understand whats going on when none of the settings are making any visual changes at all.

Tarkov is the same way with task progression. Iv had to go back to catch people up and iv had buddies come back to help me. Idk if there is a good way to fix that. Maybe they could put a "join task on teamate" in the game and you could get extra rewards for helping people. Atleast that way it wouldn't feel useless

Great review my dude. I'm gonna wait a little longer before buying. EoD owners unite 😆

As a DayZ fan that wished Tarkov took more from DayZ, this looks like my kind of game.

Should be able to select and fast rope from heli. Also lots of roads and trails to set a waypoint for armored transports I know the little player markers for teammates take away from realism but should still be an option. Or at least arm bands or glow sticks or something to stop all the team killing

Gay Zone Warfare is the type of game I like to watch but would never want to play myself 😅

It may seem dumb, but to me the persistent map concept coupled with the proximity chat and beautiful graphics really sells it. Also Tarkov is too hardcore for me. Gray Zone Warfare looks more friendly, even if it's still a realistic military-sim game.

I've been playing Warframe for the lack of realism, plus the levels of power fantasy. The fashion side of the game can be fun for many aswell.

Tarkovs Tasks are the same way tho, I played like 4 hours without my friend. and for an entire wipe I was consistently like 4-5 tasks and like 3-4 levels higher. If you wanna go up with someone that needs to be spoken about first its just how it is

I use to play Arma 3 with orgs, played serious Milsim roleplay. Good to see some games more like this, that's more approachable and light weight Mil sim.

Keep playing feel the company making it are very professional and know what they are doing the 7 days vids was very entertaining.

The play space looks like it will become monotonous very quickly, they need more biomes.

wish they'd make something like BFBC2 and not another hyper realistic shooter which there are many on PC by now and not many play them to be frank. BFBC2 had a nice balance between arcade and sim.. even going back to bf2042 portal mode the difference is pretty substantial and i honestly miss how much slower the older BF games used to be with the added recoil etc. to me this game also shows what's to come for shooters because this game doesn't really do anything special other than being a UE5 tech demo. it's literally just an open world that uses all of the UE5 features that make this possible and as far as i know even a teenager could achieve this and sure i am exaggerating a bit.

All performance/network issues aside (because those can be understandable and fixable), the AI in this game is terrible and I'm not sure how you really fix it to a point that makes the PvE element feel fun. With more polish to physical gameplay the PvP might save this but if you're going in expecting PvE to be immersive in any way, you're going to be disappointed. Watching an enemy AI just stand in one spot and eat bullets.. or turn and run in one direction.. stop totally out of cover. They're just totally brain dead.
