I'm sure people who enjoy extraction shooters will enjoy the game. I dislike the stress of even a relatively low stakes BR. Hell, even when it comes down to a 1v1 in comp causes my heart to race. I don't need more people, who just lost all their gear, to tell me how shit I am all the time. I don't want the game to fail. Not at all. I just don't see it gaining the momentum that Bungie probably needs, let alone wants.

That’s exactly why I so hyped. I love the concept of extraction shooters. It’s a shame there are very few good ones. Shit I’m still playing DMZ even though it’s more like team death match on open map now.
Yea I'm excited. I've played Tarkov since the very moment you could buy it.
Nothing like that heart pounding win after a good fight.
