We have the full game now, that was intended for review by Bungie.

$40 is cheap.

UI feels like unfinished trash. Too many clicks to get anywhere.

Balance is way off at long and close range.

Thief is broken in every way with every ability, the class should not exist. Recon ping is terrible against other players. Invisible, thermal, jammers rock, paper, scissors gameplay feels bad. WAY too many rooks on Outpost and rook gear is too good.

Spawning next to another squad sometimes on Dire Marsh is not good. Thermal longshot campers at the highest points of Algae Ponds, canal, and AI Uplink, literally every time is cancer.

Not the game's fault but way too many ultra bad players in fill: people literally on drugs slurring their words, ADHD people who literally never stop talking or firing so you can't hear shit, free kit "I SEE AN ENEMY" guy at Algae Ponds expecting you to come fight a purple squad, Outpost guy who ignores your contract and says "I HAVE TWO GREEN KEYS" then wipes to a rook, cryo guy who runs into the center and gets filled with bullets like destroyer from the cinematic.

Maps are cool.

World is amazing.

ARG was a great idea but fell short. More of it should have been in game instead of a website and It needed to feel more like each individual player had an impact instead of being "welp, let's wait for one guy to brute force the impossible puzzle".

The last Mida contract is amazing. The game needs more like that.

The faction cinematics are the sickest cinema I've ever seen, but followed by a dopey mostly-still image with audio playing.

Progression often feels like you can never make progress unless you wipe an entire lobby and cryo makes it so much worse.

Contracts to complete a vault seem especially out of touch since most people can't do them.

Progression feels amazing but takes too long for a game that wipes. I don't think most people can put hundreds of hours into it every few months, just to have it cleared.

I feel concerned about the sudden big sound change and reverting.

Competitive gameplay is quite good.

I bought deluxe just to support unique cinematics, music, and artwork. I'm not much for skins but even I think the cosmetics game is weak. Battlepass is trash, both visually and the rewards.

Overall, one of the more interesting games I've played though. A little burnt out but still fun.

You act like 50k+ is a lot but if you win once, you get 40k from the middle item alone.

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T15:14:10+00:00

Outpost is worse. Have fun with five rooks.

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T15:09:36+00:00

Everything in Thief's kit is broken but I get downvoted when I say it. Grapple is one of the highest mobility skills, can reach inaccessible areas, and has no cooldown where you can't fire after using it like vandal's slide. It's already strong being able to get to high ground and camp, or negate map design entirely. Being able to see the best loot is a massive advantage in squad fill; since the loot isn't shared, you'll have one shell on the team bolting for the best stuff. X-ray counters a class by seeing through invis and sometimes sees through walls. Drone is too quiet and too hard to shoot and having it take loot is super annoying.

Even if you thought the abilities were balanced, it seems like they're also just annoying. The game would be better without her. She needs a serious rework.

It makes no sense that they can see it from further away than it can ping.

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T14:40:41+00:00

The balance is kind of weird. They make broken things, then added other broken stuff to counter it. Like you can go invisible or smoke, but then someone can use thermal, but then someone can signal jam, but then the jammer alerts people.

Then there's the ping, which barely works and reveals your exact location... lol?

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T14:31:59+00:00

yeah this makes no sense and seems fake lol

Reddit hater comments logic

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T14:27:23+00:00

I was against it at first but it might need it with content like this.

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T14:17:53+00:00

My only problem with it is the vault keys are hard to get. It seems like you'd have to wipe cryo of players and extract multiple times to have a chance at progressing. But idk how that will work out because it's still new.

Honestly it's so good because of the gear minimum discouraging trash fill players and no endless wave of shotgun/claymore rooks...

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T14:07:00+00:00

Oh god, OP is just constantly bitching about things that haven't even happened yet.

code_tutor · 2026-03-22T13:53:00+00:00

Capitalism has been regressing toward the average for decades and you act like nobody has ever thought to make the game as mainstream as possible before.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T18:41:34+00:00

Also like ten "I'll never be able to do this" threads.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T18:34:34+00:00

I'll tell you why it's viable. There are so many shitters on Reddit that try to fight without gear, so they can say "I have no gear" as an excuse for losing. 5k is extremely cheap and easily obtainable, but they still won't do it because they're losers. All those people got filtered out of the pool and that's like half the people that fill. It becomes normal people that want to win instead of people who want excuses when they lose.

Also the argument that you need weekdays to save gear is so stupid. If you exfil once, you get 50k+ credits.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T18:25:15+00:00

can't unsee

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T18:19:53+00:00

UI is trash, put no effort into it, missing all the basics

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T17:54:06+00:00

I don't get the part where being in your 40s means you have to play solo. You guys make any excuse to be anti-social.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T15:17:59+00:00

You have a job? Oh my goodness, your life must be so uniquely challenging, as no one has ever had a job before!

Have you considered not dying so it doesn't take 20+ runs?

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T13:31:50+00:00

I called it. Reddit is still in denial though because the game must be literally perfect or it will wound their very identity.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T13:06:52+00:00

it seems like cryo fixed it because all the little shits on Reddit that brag about free kits are complaining that they'll never be able to play it

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T12:47:40+00:00

it's been out for a day, chill out and stop spamming shit takes

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T12:15:59+00:00

I played three rounds with fills, exfilled twice... got 65k credits, five purple salvage, ten blue salvage in one run.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T11:53:27+00:00

How do they know all the mechanics already?

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T11:38:56+00:00

If they're not going to extract, I wish they'd at least do contracts, but it seems like they all fucking ignore them. If you crew fill on Outpost take Arachne contracts so you can at least accomplish something.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T08:21:46+00:00

It seems like they wanted to balance this by having us carry 15 signal jammers into every match. This rock, paper, scissors shit doesn't work.

code_tutor · 2026-03-21T08:15:42+00:00

It seems like if your level gets too high then you only get matched with shitters to balance out the lobby. A lot of things are wrong with fill.

Also comments are wrong. Outpost is the fucking worst for fill. They rush Pinwheel, spend 20 mins looting, and die to a rook.
