What players say

71% of 16,827 reviews are positive · 65% of 49 in the last 30 days

The most common complaint is the small online population, which can mean slow matchmaking and bot-filled lobbies. Recent reviews also report EA app and anti-cheat launch problems, including blocked Linux compatibility.
