The beginning is pretty boring to be honest; Single player is a bit slow.
It speeds up at times, but almost to the point where things are moving too fast, making the single player a unique experience.
The multiplayer, however, is the opposite. You start out with horrible weapons and a horrible mount, your pretty much the target of most people that are like me

.
I really recommend modding the multiplayer because it is much more enjoyable that way. There are going to release more DLC in the future because it doesn't seem that the game is quite finished. I would personally wait until said DLC is released because the game will be better and most likely cheaper by then.
Have a USB stick or Trasnfer cable if you want the game to be better
