I like to tell people its like DND in the sense the game just hands you the tools to create your own content and it needs to be run by a game master (this game calls them the Zeus) with the right group this game is an absolute blast. even on high end hardware though it can chug, though that's partly because a lot of groups don't know how to curate mod lists properly. Its a bit too much of a time commitment for me right now but I hope someday I can get back into it. I wouldnt judge this games after joining one single group. try a couple because some will take the game too sersiouly (i found one gorup that require real US Army LOA forms if you were going to miss a mission) some groups are full of homophobes, racists, etc and since the game has a plethora of ww2 mods there are ofc neo nazi groups that use Roleplay as an excuse to spout slurs.
TDLR: great game but its a time commitment and may take a while to find a group good for you

little bugs on PC platform, still feels half baked 3 years later (though Phantom Liberty seems to fix that, we'll see when that releases) Mods enhance the experience 10 fold, and the anime was pretty good. story is kind of boring but the game has a fantastic world and some of the best character interactions and side quests of any RPG I've played

my favorite racing game, its arcadey but is the epitome of "easy to learn, difficult to master" and I love that, I'll never fully learn the tuning system but I still appreciate its depth. The map is significantly better than the previous entry and offers more vehicle variety. Biggest downside is that all the leaderboards around the map are dominated by speed hacks and speed glitches making it impossible to ever see your name in the top 500 using legit methods

its nowhere near as good as Post Scriptum but it actually receives updates and has a dev team working on it. Plus the new combat update overhauls the game in the right ways. I hope we may one day get full proximity chat allowing both team and enemies to hear. Also more maps like Fallujuh, its easily the best map in the game
The Galactic Contention mod will turn Squad into the best pvp star wars game but unfortunately few people use their mics in my experience

multiplayer is both overhyped and overhated, it was...fine. lootboxes took away a lot of what could've been great. the best maps in game were meh and the worst were unplayable. The zombies is insanely easy and gobblegum would've been a lot cooler without the loot box aspect. The zombies is only rated so high because of the Chronicles DLC and workshop support
the campaign isn't worth playing, Treyarch was at least nice enough to allow us to only download the modes we wanted to play
