TLDC: For the solo campaign, I recommend this game, but for everything else, just wait for everything to be fixed in a couple weeks.
Despite my eternal love for this franchise (even Halo 5: Guardians somehow), there are several issues in this game that don't bug me too much and some that make this game near impossible to play.

Tolerable Issues: Sound Issues
There are numerous times during the campaign where in the mist of a firefight, where your gun will apparently start sounding as quiet as a nerf gun. I have no doubt that 343 will fix this in due time and even if they don't, it's not exactly a game breaker.

Outright Painful Issues: Networking
Literally everything involving another player (not including anything LAN related as I have not tested that yet) has desync (rubberbanding) issues. Campaign Co-Op is among the worst in regards to this issue, as even the host with the best internet connection cannot provide even a bearable experience. Online multiplayer is better but still has that small/medium amount of rubberbanding that is irritating at best and down right screen smashing worthy at the worst.

You would think that after 3 private/public testing sessions (and most likely many more internal tests), they'd realise that they would need more public servers to handle the tidal wave of veterans returning to the legendary game.

Expecting drastic fixes to a game so beloved by fans that will weather any storm but not if our voices go unanswered.

A Team Based, Adrenaline Pumping, Action Packed, Battle Royale Game - Me

Those would be the words I would use if someone would ask me to describe this game. Whether it be watching my friends drive and flip into a pillar only to explode by the red zone or speeding past bridge campers on a bike, wildly shooting back to save myself, PUGB is filled with enough encounters and moments that will always be either the scariest or the funniest memories of this game.

The backlash that PUGB has recieved though isn't completely unwarrented. The community has continued to discuss about a wide range of issues in the game such as hackers, bugs and computer inconsistancies and for the most part, they have the right to say these things. Personally, I've had none of these community issues. I run the game on the minimum requirements and play on Oceania servers and so far I have no complaints. I haven't encountered and "Chinese Hackers" and performance wise, I simply suck it up, knowing that my 5 year old GPU is to blame and keep playing.

With all the complaints, I believe that PUGB's hard work with the game is being overlooked. They've worked to ensure that this game doesn't end up like DayZ or Halo: The Master Chief Collection; high profile games that were essentially abandoned simply because of the lack of innovative fixes/too big of a project to complete in the timeframe given.

All said, I'd recommend you play this game with friends. Create your own experiences, scale mountains, loot towns, experience intense firefights while juggling with supply and teammate management. Enjoy the ability to gain loot boxes that can be sold for very good prices (for now).

Enjoy the game. It's only going to be getting better.

After 170+ hours, still haven't ranked up to Master Guardian.....Still very addictive though!

There are a lot of bad glithes in this game but other than the leaving games problems, this game seems to have potental to be one of the best games out there. Besides Battlefield 4, Arma 3, DayZ Standalone...

If you like ninjas who go on awesome missons? This is the game for you...
