The game now requires an always-online connection, even if you play offline. Just tried it myself by setting Steam to offline mode and you can never 'Ready Up' into a map. This was not the case before the Epic Games Store integration they did awhile ago.

The game is now bloated to 100+ GB install. If you already own KF2, you need to pay more for the Ultimate edition for all the silly weapon packs they added to the game over the years VS buying it bundled (???). All the stupid lootboxes are STILL in the game. It takes forever to boot this game off a HDD.

It just sucks man. I heard about the game in the anniversary post and wanted to play KF2 again. Its crazy how this game somehow gotten worse over time. How can KF3 possibly be good?
