The game features intense violence, including realistic depictions of combat and injuries. It can be quite stressful due to the high-stakes nature of the missions and the potential for sudden, graphic encounters. While it encourages teamwork, the competitive aspects of online play could lead to some toxicity, and there is a potential for social comparison among players.
