It's why I take comparisons of RO2 to those games with several grains of salt. I know the reality of the games that most people decry...and RO2 is pretty far removed from it.

There are two points of view for the game. The first is all the old RO1 players who simply wanted RO1 with better graphics and sounds. The second are the more casual/mainstream players who want something more ardade and simple to pick up and play.
The real divide as I see is between those who really did just want a graphically updated RO1 with a few new features, and most other people who were willing to try whatever TWI was offering up as the successor to RO.
Disappointed but optimistic. I trust TWI to iron out the bugs and make a game that will appeal to all of us. It may take a while but I am happy to keep playing in the meantime and wait and see what happens.

We wanted improved and smoother controls.
Adjustable sights, and the abillity to use the ironsights on the snipers? You'd best belive we where stoked for that!
A realisticly implimeted cover system? Yup, that could come in handy! I didn't think it would replace my use of normal crouching and leaning, but i did think it would add another tactical choice for us.
Improved bipod system that isen't as clunky, swivels around the actual bipod and lets us duck into cover when reloading, you best belive we where all for that!
Improved 3D scopes? Do want!
An end to silly ping-pong tanking and promises of a far more detailed and realistic tanking experiance? Ohh yes, we wanted that!
promises of fast PC's nolonger having first choice of classes, yup, we wanted that.
Promises of n00bs nolonger beeing able to screw over the team by taking the vital specialised roles untill they had more experiance with the game? Did want!
New game-types to play? Sounds good!
And i could keep going for a while, we where not looking for a graphical facelift only, hell no, we wanted to see improved mechanics, we wanted the innovation, we wanted to see Ro2 become something more and better than Ro:Ost was.
What we did not want is seeing Assault-rifles dominating the battlefield, we did not want quickscoping and instant ironsights, we did not want to see aiming skill becoming a non-factor of the game, we did not want to see the gameplay speed boosted 100% to fast run'n'gun arcade style twitch-shooter play, we did not want to see the bolt-action rifle become a rare sight amongst a flood of automatic weaponry, we did not want to see bloody prototypes and silencers becomming the norm (infact most of us didn't want to see them at all), and certainly did not want perks and other such gimmicks added as a positive-feedback loop and serving as a deterrant for entry.
I wanted a better and more polished RO, one with much improved mechanics and more choice, i did not want a reskinned High-Def RO, i wanted RO+.
Stop putting bull**** into our mouths about this "we only wanted RO with better graphics", this is what Grobut said and many others agree with:
I am disappointed
i was hoping to get a better version of this :

+1, I was expecting to play this game A LOT! But no.. I have so much and so different problems that I dont even want to start it because its breaking my fun. My main concern right now is that by the time when the game is fixed and such it will be pretty much dead with a little to none servers in the browser. And then I will be pissed for my money that I spent on a born dead game.No, in its current state I'm not satisfied. I'm having CTD's, loss of sound, stats not working properly, server browser still failing on me ect, and just lots of 'TWI-facepalm moments' though-out gameplay.
