"It was about midnight. We were reaching the end of our session. It had been a rough night. Lots of quick deaths from random players with powerful sniper rifles. Lots of runs where we lost all the great gear we'd brought. Bad times. So when we booted up for one last run, I was convinced that this, too, would end in disaster."
"Things were going well. Too well. I was nervous that this was all going to come crashing down. And that's exactly what happened about two minutes later as we activated the extraction. Suddenly, bullets ripped through the air. Before I could even react, I was down. I marked the sniper and crawled behind a concrete wall."
"We die, we lose all that great stuff. Worse, our killers likely leave with most of it. And then, I noticed that the extraction point was ready. It was time to go. 'Crawl!' I yelled. My downed teammate and I dragged our bleeding bodies to the extraction point a few feet behind us."
During an open beta weekend, a player experienced mixed feelings about the upcoming sci-fi FPS but found conviction in its quality through a final match. After a difficult night of quick deaths and lost gear, the player and teammates loaded in for one last run. They successfully gathered loot and fought through enemies, heading toward extraction. During the final moments, enemy snipers attacked, downing multiple teammates. With extraction ready, the player and downed teammate crawled to the extraction point while their remaining teammate provided cover. This intense, climactic moment showcased the game's potential, though questions remain about whether sufficient players will embrace it to prevent failure.
