As i reflect on the countless hours spent immersed in forts, I feel compelled to reflect on my past experiences and memories this game has provided for me. I would like to thank you all for the amazing 2550 hours of my life spent on this game and the range of emotions provided to me by the amazing dev's, moderators and members of the community for creating such an unforgettable place in memory. I haven't found any game like this that i have enjoyed so much - i have more than double my "in game hours" on forts than on any other game i have played previously. This moment was inevitable as is any; My return to forts is very unlikely as i have moved onto other games. Again thank you dev's and i hope you can create memories for others as you did for me.

Core game is good but if you wish to play online most lobbies are modded so you have no idea what you are actually getting in for. That being said, it is incredibly mod compatible as they can be installed automatically.

After 1 thousand hours of playing the game, I can freely say that this game is great for playing in a company of 4 or more players. The large list of weapons combined with the right commanders make the game fun and exciting. I haven't played in a pro league yet, but watching professionals play can be very interesting, especially when they play 2v2 and work in pairs. The community of the game is very small, most of them are “planchas”, but there are also a lot of pro players with whom you can play and learn something new (base design or some cool strategy). There are a lot of mods and maps in Forts, which is why the game is not dead yet.....yet
