It's also fun as hell to play but yea working your way into playing well is difficult and requires a bit of time. The downtime between shots is simultaneously the best and most stressful part of the game.
But if you ever do get the chance, remember that the low tier guns arent the best but if you're even decent with them you'll never have a problem. Also melee is fire!!!
Oh I still have fun playing it when I can! But it's more of a desperate attempt at survival and less a strategic hunt for the bounty and skilled firefight with enemies. I wish this existed back when I was in college and had more free time to play and friends available to co-op with. I'm so anxious about letting down teammates I'm matched with online.
Oh man playing with randos? Not my cup. With the way the noise and shooting works you really need to work together well, not to mention resist the loot loss rage that can creep up super easy with some folks. Playing solos less fun overall but doable in duos of you get good at overwhelming people's senses
