I played one match in the open beta before uninstalling. Gunplay felt super basic, just waves of generic enemies to shoot with mediocre gunfights.

Tbf PD2 was the same way yet I had tons of fun with it. At some point the horde shooting is just about overall performance and resource management, not combat itself, while the main gameplay is doing the objective alongside it. I preferred going with stealth most of the times anyway.

That being said, if the objectives sucks and combat is unchanged then there's nothing to make it actually fun and yeah, that's an issue.

Never understood the appeal of a game purportedly about bank robberies being mostly about killing literally hundreds of cops, it's not so much unrealistic as it is completely farcical. It would be like Al Qaeda flying a plane into the WTC and everybody in New York going about their business like normal the next day.

I don't think they meant they had a problem with the depiction as much as the execution (no pun intended)
