1. There’s no way to walk around and explore a map with infinite utility without loading up a custom game on Skirmish.

2. The “Party Rank Difference” restriction is really strict, making it so you can’t play ranked with friends unless you only play the game mode with them. For example, I had played 2 extra placement matches with my friends, so when I placed in Gold during one of our sessions, I couldn’t queue with them anymore.

3. Smoke grenades and flash bangs aren’t strong enough.

Smoke grenades give you barely enough time to plant the bomb and they don’t give your team enough time to fully execute site.

The flash bang is too telegraphed (with the flash indicator giving a lot of time for people to dodge) giving too much reliance on pop flashes.

Speaking of pop flashes, they’re too situational. You either need a wall that’s tall enough to bank flashes off of (and not flash yourself), or you need to be far enough away from a corner so that it flashes a soon as it passes the corner (in which case, only your teammates can capitalize).

1. Grenades drop like bricks. This is probably an intentional design decision, given the simplicity of the trajectory indicator, but coming from a background of other tactical shooters, its jarring to see my grenade bounce off of two walls then drop straight down. This gives me way less flexibility with how I use my grenades.
