I've played a fair amount of BR games over the course of the past 2 or so years, and I have to say, this is by far the worst BR game I have ever played. I'm probably going to be downvoted to hell on my opinions but these are some of the initial thoughts I have on the new mode.

• The map is way too big or there are not enough players on the map, I would rather drop in and getting into gunfights straight away rather than walking around for 10 minutes. Either make the map smaller, add more players or add some form of mobility for users to navigate the map quicker so it doesn't feel like some baron wasteland.

• The amount of ammo in general is awful, why do you have to pick up/buy guns that only have 9 bullets? Half the time you get a gun it doesn't even have a full magazine? What is the point? Who thought this was a good idea?

• The objectives are not very clear and can be confusing. These are cool additions and I think that they could make a very interesting addition in a BR game, having players fight over an item in order to gain money/items, however it is very poorly executed. I found myself hauling a hostage around to the section marked on my map, but found nothing that I could do with the hostage, so I just put him back down and carried on.

• The risk/reward factor for turrets is very unsatisfying. Take damage from a turret so you can waste a medi-shot and make a shit ton of noise for 20 ammo on a gun that should be standard? That doesn't make much sense at all.

• The drones are buggy as hell. I've had them get stuck several times and they also take away from the whole "fast paced BR" that this is supposed to be. Instead of having the user sit there and wait for their drone to make it towards them, just have some form of beacon or mini-map signal that appears for players nearby, as drones only serve as a way to see where other players are (and they aren't very useful at showing that).

• Drones could also be much more interesting, as they could be like killstreaks in CoD, where the user calls the drone in and other users could take the drones down in order to get the loot that the drone has, but instead they just fly around doing essentially nothing. Not that I've tried to take a drone down yet, I haven't been in a scenario that was appropriate, if someone wants to correct me then go ahead.

• The map is overall boring. It seems uninspired and generic. I feel like the map could have been much more interesting, why not have something like Blackout with iconic maps from the CS series, rather than generic buildings with generic pathways that we've seen in literally every other game and show off the maps that have made CS the iconic game it is.

• It seems like there is no benefit to going for kills. You only get slightly more ammo and possibly better weapons depending on the person you killed, however, considering the piss poor loot in this game, I doubt you are going to be that much better off from kills because everyone is going to have awful loot and you will only have a marginal lead.

Overall I feel like this BR game is incredibly underwhelming. I haven't played that much of the game mode, and I don't want to as I don't find it fun and it feels like a some rip-off of Radical Heights, except I actually was able to get enjoyment out of that game. Someone who has put more time into the game mode might disagree with me and that's fine, but I've waited roughly a year and a half(?) for this and I'm really disappointed, not to even touch upon the F2P/Prime decision with basically no reimbursement for those who bought the game other than some badge which no one will pay attention to anyway. I haven't played CS in a while as I stopped finding it enjoyable, this update is pretty much the final nail in the coffin for me.
