It's pretty much Cod in VR minus the perks. It's quite nice. Also the recoil is handled like recoil and not like Pavlov where the recoil is actual goddamn CSGO spray after the first few shots.

Simple game to get into although there are a lot of tryhards. Unless you already have good experience with vr shooters, you will get shit on in your first few games. Sadly there's no real way to tell the skill range of whatever lobby you're besides just looking at the scoreboard or seeing if the lobby is marked Competitive. If you're a new player and you see a Comp Control or Bomb Defusal game, stay away. You will get insta-domed by someone jumping around corners with a G36C.

Also like Cod, this game has some blatant meta weapons. G36C, AK5C, MK18 are rifles that stick out as particularly strong. Shotguns are meh and smgs are only good if you have faith in your ability to land headshots. If you're playing on a WW2 lobby, most people will be using the Thompson or PPSH. The latter is busted, just way too OP.

Map selection could use a bit of work, none are particularly bad(besides Hideout) it's just that playing on the same set of maps can get pretty old. If you're on the PC version then there are custom maps you can download although I dont see any custom lobbies up very often.
Spatial audio could also use a little work too, it can get pretty confusing on some maps with elevated points as it doesnt really tell you too well if someone is above or below you.

I'm eager to see how this title further evolves as it's still an early access title. The steam page doesnt list it as early access anymore but it's still on like 0.81.1 or something like that so theres still some shit coming along the way.
