Yes in that there is a new battlepass every month with new guns and armor to unlock.

No in that you can earn the battlepass with in game currency and never have to give them more than the $40 that the game cost to have a ton of fun.

Beyond that - They've taken live service games to a better place. There's an ongoing galactic campaign and the individual missions you run contribute to galactic objectives which have real consequences in game. They have a dedicated "Game Master" like a DND Dungeon Master who decides when to release new units, what happens when we succeed and how to punish failure.

And most importantly: It's a lot of fun.
