However, as I discovered recently, just any rando player can hop in your Stuart now, steal your driver seat, drive right up to and face hug a Puma, cost you, him, and your team a perfectly good tank… Wow that’s bad. At least the bots are consistently bad, which means you can find ways to manage them. For one thing, they’re bad, but they’re not as bad as some actual players I’ve seen in this game… Holy crap there’s some really bad players in this game. “That being said, the bots at the current moment are really kinda terrible and get themselves killed extremely quickly, thereby also nullifying your critique.” I’ll circle back to this though, because I think the game is fine even in lone wolf mode. I’m glad they’ve added a lone wolf mode to give players like you something to do, to introduce you to the game, and as an alternative once playing a ton of squads gets a little boring… But it’s just not where the cool stuff is happening. If you aren’t playing it, well, sorry man, but in lone wolf mode, you’ve basically elected to play a watered down less well developed post scriptum/hell let loose. It’s like an FPS built for non FPS players in that sense. If anything, it almost caters more to war thunder players, strategy game players, RTS players, etc, more so than it caters to FPS players. Squads is not JUST an FPS game, and that’s why players are drawn to Enlisted over alternatives. Squads gamemode is effectively a hybrid FPS multiplayer game and single player campaign with NPCs, and then sprinkles in a little bit of strategy game style gameplay by giving you command OF some of those NPCs to help you in your goals. I think most people here at least like the overall concept they’ve gone for, and have more specific criticisms than yours, which essentially boil down to “change the entire game to be more like the first person shooter that I want based on my minimal knowledge of how ‘gameplay loops’ work”.

And that’s ok man, if you don’t like how it is, you don’t have to play it. If any of those things are closer to what you want than Enlisted… Then go play those, because the gameplay recommendations you’re making make it sound like this just straight up isn’t the game for you. If lone wolf were all this game was, I would probably not even play it, as post scriptum, hell let loose, and (hork) battlefield V are all takes on that same concept I would probably consider to be better in a lot of ways, if only because they’re more streamlined. I don’t want to be gate keepy, but honestly man, if you’re not playing squads, then why are you playing Enlisted? I’ve tried out the lone wolf mode, it’s not bad, I’ve had fun… But it doesn’t exactly innovate on the genre. I personally play more Lone Wolf than I do Squads, so your rebuttal doesn’t apply to me as well. A lot of their fanbase comes from War Thunder, a game many fans ALSO wish was more realistic and less arcade. To that end, they should strive for greater realism, not less. I put way closer to post scriptum or hell let loose than I do battlefield or COD. I don’t think Enlisted is as unrealistic as you make it out to be. Furthermore, those games have had a lot more development time over Enlisted, it’s not exactly a fair comparison, there’s already a lot of improvements lined up for Enlisted. I could see an argument being made for realism in those games, because it’s essentially squads but with real people, which if the players know what they’re doing, is inherently an improvement. Personally, I like Enlisted just because it’s a game LIKE that that I’m actually pretty good at. I can’t speak to the “realism” of post scriptum or hell let loose, they seem like good games, but I’ve never been able to get into them because, quite frankly, I just suck at them, so I can’t really make comparisons. It is more realistic than the FPS’s that I’ve played like COD or Battlefield. That being said, all of these other realistic shooters implement a circular gameplay loop in some way. This game is squarely a casual shooter, despite how I actually personally would have wished it was. It has a few realistic mechanics, but it is not a Post Scriptum, it is not a Hell Let Loose, e.t.c.

Enlisted is not a realistic shooter by any stretch of the imagination.
