Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The night vision is very immersive with the digital filter attachment, which uses 3 loadout attachments/points (max is 20 in PvP, max is 30 in co-op), but it costs no attachments to use a green, white, or amber phosphor on the goggles.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
But, speaking of immersion, I'm pretty sure this game's optimization has been abandoned.
