I prefer this game to CS:GO. I don't know what it is about it, but I find myself returning constantly. It's pretty balanced, except maybe for remburg. It is annoying when there are too many snipers (happens often), or the matches are uneven (annoying when lower level, but lessens with experience). I love the variety of the mercs, even within the same categories. Some might say getting a new merc requires a lot of grinding, but if you have mercs you really like to play with, you almost don't even need to buy new ones. There are very few cheaters (although that might be because of the smaller player base).

It's free, so there's no reason not to try it.
