A strange jab at avoiding conscription - I’d rather everyone in Russia did that and not gone to that insane war. As for the game, well that’s a hot take If you only played in early Factory-only days you probably have seen maybe… 5% of the game? It’s the deepest and most complex FPS there is mechanics-wise, not to mention the map design is simply above and beyond any other first person GAME, not just shooter. The developers seem to craft enormous multi-level maps inch by inch, with minimal copy-pasting. It’s on the level or better than Red Dead Redemption 2 level design and that’s a multi-billion dollar game. Not to mention the mechanics that turn any engagement into a 10D chess. As far as AI, eh, it has improved (you can call the scavs using voicelines and they will reply, and ever eventually command them, so you can have 5 scavs following you around the map reenacting some degenerate version of D&D :) I assume AI will keep improving faster now as they’ve added PVE mode (if that’s your thing). Ultimately Tarkov is PvP that is unparalleled and the emergent storytelling that comes from encounters with other humans. If you really haven’t touched in 5(?) years I’d urge you to give it a shot - the new wipe starts Aug 20 (booby traps, Molotovs and burning mechanic, UZI and M60 are coming). I heard it may be the last one wipe before the release - at least the devs started to talk about 1.0 and that the game is close to being ready (I agree actually).
