Looking at reddit, it doesn't look like it, but that's just reddit. I don't like it too. It's just a worse-looking, worse-performing game. The gamemodes and maps I liked are gone too.

Performance does need some work; when I manage to get it to actually ignore vsync (hence ~160 FPS), my frame times are all over the place - with a 7950X3D and 6900XT.
