  • Some users seek for UI changes and the implementation of a feature that shows the last online presence of friends.
  • There are suggestions for improvements on agent selection time across different play modes.

User Perspectives

User Saming2712 points out that the developers´ focus seems to be on creating new maps and agents, rather than updating UI or enhancing existing features. However, user Special_Ad_9645 believes the game has improved over the three-year span.
