      So the assumption is that they took the game down for almost a year, changed nothing, and are putting it back up?

        I’m guessing they made significant changes, but although I didn’t think this game was too bad the first time around, I don’t have too much hope for it. The only successful revival of a game after being taken down temporarily that I can think of is Final Fantasy XIV.

    I appreciate when ads say “Free to Play” up front so I know not to play it. (There may be a few exceptions here and there, but as a general rule, that has served me pretty well.)

      I can confirm that their battle passes and seasonal events were horribly grindy, taking many days of non-stop CPU battle matchmaking because they end faster and yield more progress than matches with human opponents. They only made it worse as the game’s popularity went down. If the revamped game’s battle passes aren’t lenient like Halo Infinite’s then this game is dead on arrival to me.

    I enjoyed it a lot during the open beta. Really looking forward to playing again soon.
