Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.39 | |
The game features intense violence, strong language, and a somewhat jingoistic portrayal of historical conflict. Competitive toxicity and social comparison can be present in online multiplayer. The lack of natural stopping points and penalization for leaving matches can encourage extended play sessions.
