- On launch the game was criticized for misleading advertising, suspicious microtransactions, and forum censorship,[4][5] eventually resulting in its temporary removal from the Steam storefront[6] before being reinstated at around March, 2013.[7]
- Servers were shut down on December 15, 2016.[8]

We are constantly working with FairFight and PunkBuster on improving detection rate, and at the same time making sure that we will not have any false positives. It is an ongoing process and it will only be improving over time.
