Absolutely! I’m not even a big shooter fan, but this game is one of the best times I’ve had in ages with friends. The destruction is amazing, it feels relatively fair (I hardly ever feel cheated when I get killed.) The mechanics are solid and varied with the tech options. It’s got a fantastic PC port. Just an all-around wonderful experience, and it’s free. Plus, at least you can actually earn the premium currency in this game. Even if it is through ranked, it’s something. Screw these live service games that don’t allow any way to obtain it other than a credit card.
I can understand people getting mad about season 3’s ranked mode though… Changing it from 3 to 5 probably screwed up a lot of people’s set squads when playing with friends. Hopefully we can get separate ranked pools with 5’s and 3’s, or cross-progression on them.
Also, it is far from dead. We just had a community event of over 6 million matches played while in groups that succeeded. If you look at 2 man groups or even 5 man groups. That is still 12-30 million individuals loading into matches played during that event.
