The only reason for this is so that they the game's ratings would fall because they are doing an absolutely bad job of optimising the game even after stating in their website that the game will work in a low end computer; yeah, it is a rant and the rating doesn't truly reflect how I feel about the game but after 2 weeks of optimising my PC and closing every service I possibly can, I think my anger is more than warranted. At this point, I would sincerely request them to either go back and optimise the game again rather than working on new agents and maps or just update the requirements for the game.
Not gonna lie, the number of people who are complaining of poor frame rates is astounding, which is not taking into account that a lot of them do have decent systems like a gtx 1080 or above. Truthfully, I never faced this in cogs and I could play that in a system which was older than mine. Of course the game will not have the same pull as when it started and to be honest, it is understandable so to keep on working for making the game "interesting" by creating new agents and maps (lets face it, the new agents are not that great either, clove is an exception, but it feels like a lovechild of Reyna, viper and brimstone).
Please work on making the game user friendly before you miss out on poor players like me (which are a lot if I might say so)
