Enlisted reviews

Yeah, so the game can be fun at times, but there's definitely some big problems that make it not as great as it could be. Like, the explosions don't really look realistic, the planes and tanks are all over the place in terms of power, the maps are kind of meh, and the squad AI is just so frustrating. And don't even get me started on the recent weapon update - it didn't really add much in terms of cool stuff to use or customize. Plus, the game isn't really historically accurate and the gameplay is just not fair for those of us who like things to be realistic and balanced. My teenage boys have actually stopped playing it because of all these issues and the bugs that just won't go away.

I've been playing this game since it first came out, way back when. It's a really well-made game, super challenging and fun especially when the teams are evenly matched. But man, let me tell you about my experience in the Normandy campaign - it was so frustrating. I had worked my butt off to unlock and upgrade everything, only to end up on teams with newbies who didn't stand a chance against veterans like me. It really sucks to go up against players who just paid their way to victory, taking down fully upgraded tanks and squad members in one shot.

And don't even get me started on the recent patch - aiming with anti-aircraft guns is a nightmare now. The AI bots in squad mode are terrible, always making dumb decisions and getting us killed for no reason. The game mechanics, especially for driving vehicles and shooting accurately, definitely need some work. The sniper mechanics are all messed up, and the block feature doesn't do what it's supposed to.

I used to love playing this game in the mornings, but now it's just frustrating because of all the pay-to-win stuff and the unfair advantage that console players with aimbots get. It's a real bummer.

The controller compatibility for crossplay isn't great. If you play on console, you should turn off crossplay unless you have a scuff controller and are really good. Otherwise, it's just not fair and super hard to compete against all the PC players. Not cool, eh.

Enlisted could be so much better if they made tank shells act more realistic. Right now, it's kinda lacking in detail, especially when it comes to how different projectiles like AT or HE grenades work. You can barely tell the difference in the game, which makes it less real and immersive. When you shoot a HE grenade into a bunch of enemies, it should look and feel more intense and lifelike - with debris flying, bodies torn apart, and the environment getting wrecked. It would be cool to see ricochets, unexploded grenades, and different sounds too to make it more realistic. It would also be awesome if you could destroy buildings by shelling them or crashing through them, especially with heavy tanks. Right now, the lack of destruction and realistic building interactions takes away from the game's fun factor. Adding features like peeking around corners would make gameplay more intense. Taking inspiration from games like Insurgency Sandstorm or Hell Let Loose for how projectiles and ballistics work could make Enlisted way better. And improving the AI for both your team and the opponents could make gameplay more challenging and interesting. If they made these changes, I think Enlisted could be one of the top WW II shooters out there for casual gamers.

Man, like, it's pretty cool and all, but honestly...there's too much pay to win involved. You can't really enjoy it without dishing out some cash, and that's just not cool. They should make it more fair for everyone, not just those who are willing to pay up. I wouldn't suggest it if you're looking to have a good time. It's meant to be fun, but it just feels like a cash grab to them, which sucks.
