The speed of the game was the best part IMO. Was very fast and twitchy, very much like classic arena shooters. But the art, content, support, etc. All felt pretty meh to me. I respect that, especially at the time, they tried to do some new things with the BR genre, but other things bogged it down hard.

The writing was on the wall wh n they launched it, and had everything a PC player hates.
- Not on Steam, only Uplay/Ubi Connect. There's a reason why the PC versions of Apex Legends and Sea Thieves became successful after launching on Steam, and not sticking to just Origin and Microsoft Store.
- Almost nil PR. In fact, many people don't even know if it even came out of the streamers focussed beta.
- Content carries games, and live service shooters aren't exception.
- Rushed development to capture the BR market dominated by PUBG, Fortnite, Warzone and Apex
- The mentality of Ubisoft having their teams shit out F2P live service games left, right and center, hoping that something would stick on the wall. None of them did.
If Ubisoft wants a bite of the BR pie, they need to listen to the customer first and foremost.

It had some cool ideas but I never liked the art and the game didn't feel that great on console. I think they did some balance changes for controllers but I was long gone by that point.
One thing I say though is that a lot of these games have battle passes and Ubisoft had a terrible battle pass for this originally. If you want people to play your game and participate in the battle pass have kick ass rewards including awesome skins. The original battle pass for this was laughable.

the movement, guns, abilities were decent. But everything else was really bad. The aiming was completely broken on Xbox. The map was super boring. The way u win was stupid. The artstyle and characters sucked.

this was one of the big issues right there. almost every ability had some form of shooting yourself upwards to do some sort of extremely high jump.
it was just spamming abilities over and over.
add to that that on controller the game was almost unplayable for way too long until they patched in additional sensitivity and reaction curve options. at launch you only reaction curve available was a 2 zone one where the inner circle of your stick moved the aim at snails pace and as soon as you moved it 50% in any direction your aim would suddenly speed up like crazy with little to no transition from one speed to the other.
that shit was simply not playable. which resulted in them implementing aim assist that was basically a lockon because they knew very well their controls ars shit and noone would be able to hit anyone with them.
even on a mouse it was annoying to track people when all everyone does is jump upwards like some Superman wannabe every other second, followed by going invisible or teleporting away.
whoever designed this game was on crack

My buddies tried to get me into this game but it really did not seem all that interesting to me. Sucks to hear about any game get shut down but I saw the appeal but it seemed more like for the higher skilled players rather than the everday joe who might try the game out but then they get wrecked.

The trouble with twitchy and arena is it cannibalises itself pretty quick. It's just not what the masses want to play over and over. Games like Warzone, Apex or Fornite live and breath beyond just the twitch shooter on an even playing field. If you don't have more to rope casuals coming in, kids growing up, tactics for players and teams alike your population is going to fall off a cliff eventually or dwindle downhill with shitty brakes all the way to the bottom.
This is a far better idea.

I don't think that was the issue. i wasn't that great in it and could easily get top 3 and get the occasional win.
the issue was more that it was fucking annoying to fight people that used the correct combination of abilities.
you could have 2 abilities in your inventory. and there were multiple different ones that allowed you to get height super fast and escape way to easily and fast, making any 1 on 1 fight a shitshow.
you had people using the high jump and that wierd ball ability, both of which make you shoot up into the sky... or use the ball in combination with the teleport to get distance fast... then the people using any movement ability in combination with invisibility to run away and hide.
it was fucking annoying to play.
then the controller issues. the game launched with controller aiming that was beyond dogshit, and the developers knew that. so their solution was to give controller players the most extreme aim assist in history, which of course fucked the game up for mouse players.
they later improved controller aiming and nerfed the aim assist but that was WAY too late. at that point the game already lost 90% of its playerbase
