...a large number of people posting here are unhappy about the current state of the game, and choose to see the negative in all this. As for the support relic statement, yes I do support them, I support them for trying to change things again, after the last time they changed them they were condemned for doing so, it takes guts to try it again with full knowledge that this community would happily lynch them for doing it.
This is insane.
I think the reason there is so much hostility towards Relic is the fact that there is still so much wrong with the game. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not talking about the call-in Meta or faction Design because I think they are largely subjective in terms of 'good/bad' design. What I'm most saddened by is the fact that there is still so much wrong with the game in terms of bugs and wonky things as Ipkai nicely put:
when unit abilities take my ammo but don't fire or infantry gets stuck on random objects during retreat or my vehicles path in a spazzy way so they spin on the spot and eats a million AT gun shots
Maps are ridiculously imbalanced depending on which side you play, Squads get insta-wiped when they all pile round a corner
on top of each other and get wiped by a
fucking stug , the list goes on.
And lets be clear. We're talking about a post bug patch here.
You say it's not Relic's fault if we don't like the game. I think you miss the point entirely, as liking a game and being satisfied with it are two separate things. I guess to some extent your right, its not their fault. But you sure as shit expect any self respecting business to be catering their product to customer satisfaction. If they aren't then you're being screwed.
But hey. Lets put all that negativity behind us because there
might be a store coming! its the fact that new things are constantly being added and existing bugs and goofs are just largely ignored (180 degree MGs for months anyone?). That doesn't even take into account the bugs that creep in after each consecutive patch.
I get that you need to keep a game afloat, and things need to be financed but we're talking about a shoddy track record for this game and (if the speculation is correct) they're going to change it again? I personally think that's fucking idiocy. Although you may disagree. But hey I just make the statements, its not my fault if you don't like them (note: how daft the application of that argument is)
Now I'm not even a particularly good player. I'm nowhere near the level of tournament and largely I'm not brilliant at 1v1s, just to give some context for my viewpoint. In fact here's my PC:

I love this game. Am I satisfied with it? Not really
I think not asking questions about ongoing issues before looking forward to the next set of changes is foolish. Personally
