Delta Force Operations is unplayable for newcommers

I started playing Delta Force mainly for the extraction shooter experience. The first few games felt really good; I killed a few squads by myself and was having a lot of fun. But quickly, I realized that the players I was killing on Zero Damn Easy were 90% bots. They move very awkwardly, barely deal any damage, and run in circles when you shoot them. They also follow a repeating pattern in every fight. The first two bots rush/fight you, and there's always one that stays behind and eventually rushes you if you don't go hunt him down.

Now that I’ve encountered a lot of these squad bots, it’s very easy to distinguish real players from bots. The real issue is that Operations didn’t wipe with this new season. So, when I play other maps or go into Zero Damn Normal, it’s full of sweats running Legendary or Epic armor and ammo. To have at least a chance against them, you either need to be a god at the game or spend all your money on at least purple gear and ammo, which is very expensive for new players who haven’t been collecting loot during the past season.

Also, the matchmaking is terrible. The players I encounter in Normal games are all Diamond+ while I’m still at Bronze 1. Delta Force Operations needs a wipe so new players can at least have a chance to play against real players and not get stuck fighting bots. Alternatively, there should be a matchmaking system that matches players with similar gear levels.

This is the opinion of a dude that has been playing delta force for the first time.
