Feels like this game missed its window with the delay. All the hype from the Summer is gone and it'll be drowned out by CoD and probably The Finals

I think they still have a shot, they just need to nail the launch at the right time. Although I'm hyped for the finals, i have a feeling it'll be a bit lacking content wise early on. Theyre also very different games. COD is usually winding down my spring, so that'd be a good time to launch. I do agree a bit of the fire and excitement is gone.

"Missed it's window". Look at this marketing genius...

Better to delay and polish the game then release a dud to take advantage of some made up "window". A good game will generate it's own hype. There are many out there thirsting for a CoD clone that does away with SBMM, including myself. I think even if the game is a solid 7/10, as long as there's no SBMM, many people will happily abandon CoD for it.

Don't think this will have the staying power initially thought.

Announced way too early, too many platests and not enough communication. Hype had died down significantly and we have other competitors showing promise such as The Finals.

MP focused shooters are such an oversaturdated genre that really need you to hit the ground running to capture an audience and be successful.
