It was fun... for about a week. I played the beta for a little while, when I stopped, I was CR2 and BR13. In the beginning, it's hard to have fun because you are overwhelmed with all the things you don't understand.

The complaint I have is that, although there is potential for strategy... usually bases are capped by massive zerg assaults. It's fun sieging a base like this (pouring in from a nearby tower or AMP), but after a while, I found it was getting too repetitive, with little opportunity to improve skill. Weapons are based on cone-of-fire (COF), which means every projectile follows the same cone geometry, whether it's your first shot or 50th. I prefer recoil-based, such as Battlefield 1942. Getting higher levels means little: implants aren't that advantageous. More certs just means more versatility, since even a new player can get a MAX cert.

Even as a commander coordinating assaults, tactical skill is useless if there is a large force defending an area.

I recommend the game if you are into FPS, but don't sign up for a year long subscription right away. I think you get a month free with the box purchase, after which point you will probably tire of the game.

Unless the devs drastically changed the game in the last week or so before it went gold, I think what I played and retail are pretty much the same.

-edit I played only as Vanu Sovereignty, so I might be slightly biased.
