1. Yes, game is online only (live service game). So of course the downside is dealing with server issues (like the game currently presents).
2. You do not HAVE to play with others, but the game was clearly balanced around working with a team. As the game increases in difficulty, the enemies become much more numerous and introduces larger, more difficult to kill enemies. This often requires multiple load outs to deal with the changing situations, and a single person can only bring 4 strategems (basically support weapons) where a team of 4 has 16. I can safely say if you don't play with others, the game is not nearly as enjoyable.
3. You can definitely play with others using the quick play option or with friends. As is the case, everything with friends is better, but I have yet to have a bad run with randoms, and I would say I can still enjoy the game when playing with them.
4. I haven't matched with noisy 13 year olds. While having a mic is really nice, most randoms don't use their mics at all. The game generally has good voiceless commands, but for the most part missions are so straightforward that most people just sort of congeal and accomplish tasks.
I'm jonesing to play this game all the time. If anyone wants to team up on steam, just hit me up via my code here 162610777.
And I'll leave you with the opening cinematic!
