It's the most recent addition in a established combat FPS line frequently positioned as a grittier response to the CoD series.
This game has never quite managed to match its best-known rival in terms of units sold or gamers, but indicators suggest the new installment could narrow the difference.

The fourth, the UK studio, is based in England.

"We most likely would not be able to make and develop the latest entry without the learnings we gained in the last release," she explains to the press.
One of those lessons was to engage players participating from the start, and the developers started invite-only community trials in recent months.
Their "reaction was incredibly favorable," comments Rebecka.
Another omitted element from the last game was a single-player campaign, which has been reintroduced in this version.
The UK studio design director Fasahat "Fas" Salim is the person tasked with "ensuring those missions are as enjoyable and compelling as possible for the audience."
Regardless of allegations that the scope of the project had created pressure for the various developers working together across continents to create the title, he is optimistic about the endeavor.
"Working with diverse cultures, different backgrounds, it's a truly engaging environment to be engaged with every day," he says.
"This whole method has been an innovation but also really thrilling because we are collaborating with team members from all over the world."
As for the anticipation on the team, he comments: "We experience stress but at the same time it's thrilling.
"This is a large undertaking. It's probably the largest that many of us have previously been involved in."
