Been very interested at getting this, but is it worth it?

CoD vet and very well established with HD2. Looking for something fun without hackers to ruin the experience.

Sounds like this game needs strategy and thinking vs shoot them up or die, die again, die and get kicked from team.

Not looking to toss money at a game I won't enjoy because of in game purchases, BS tier system and unrealistic kill-streak scenarios or end date of updates.

Please be honest. Is it too late to join in, as the game has been out according to Google since 2019.
