The game's competitive multiplayer nature carries a risk of competitive toxicity and social comparison. While direct stranger chat is absent, the military theme involves high levels of violence. The strategic war map and reward systems may encourage extended play sessions, though individual matches provide natural stopping points. The game also presents a mild level of nationalistic propaganda.
