Just so nobody gets the wrong idea, first let me say that you have to read this imagining someone talking as calm as possible.
While I can't argue with the facts of the OP's thread, I don't think a lot of the expectations were perfectly reasonable (although they are understandable, there's a nuance). Although I agree with guns being too accurate, personally I feel there should be more sway, so I'll agree on this. As for maps being too small, well, it's Stalingrad. At no point did TWI say "We will have big huge maps at launch for RO1 fans," and no screenshots supported the theory that there would be any. If you had done some research before buying, you would know that, and possibly have stayed away. Same thing for destructable environments, there were a few videos, all on Gumrak or some other vids, but they stated that it wouldn't be everything destructable. Would it be nice? Yes, I would like this as well.
And now I conclude with what basically concludes every one of my posts, if you wanted a perfect game at launch we'd still be waiting, I'm just glad I can play now, because hyperbolise all you want it's still a notch above Call of Duty realism-wise. The camping aspect you mention is slightly exagerated, because the worst I usually see is enemies close to your spawn, and that's the team's fault. If you still find the game unplayable, just shelve it, look up the forums once in a while, wait for SDK to come out and people to fix it (or TWI), and next time try to ignore the hype on games, because a lot of it started in the forums as well.
After the post below me: Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, but great name man
That was the one flame I allow myself
