You can argue that its f2p since you dont have to buy the game but in realitly its a p2p with a mask with p2w tournments. You can play a mission for free whenever you want but regardless pass/fail you get to wait 3 hours to play/replay again - both online and offline missions, unless you pay a $1 a flight. Sure you can buy and unlimited flight pass for campaign while you wait 3 hours but you cant unlock new planes, cant continue the research tree, and the rewards are absolutely abyssmal- not that im expecting them to be 1 million creds but at their current amount doing the best on the mission is like flying around in online mode not shooting anything- for $20, and that wasnt discouraging enough its only 8 missions that are pretty much copy/pasted!!!! Id much rather pay $20 for rereleases of ac 4, unsung and belken then this crap.

I like tournys though I would probably never actually win one, but this is so far pay to win its just beyound rediculous. Not only does one have to pay a rather large amount of money to place high but the reward plane also enjoys enhanced stats putting others at a disadvantage. If other players want to spend money even maybe donate a kidney to win a tourny then so be it, I promise I wont loose a single minute of sleep over it and hope they dont get to said when the day comes where even the 4 player rooms aren't filled then all that is left is the 8 campaign missions.

I am an avid ac fan and while this is mostly negative there are postitive sides to this game. I really enjoyed the plane/part research tree. I found it intesting to customize planes that way. Im also really happy they got rid of that ac horizon game mechanic that was pretty much a cod style dumb down of flying.
