I don't think the controls are clunky or "too complicated", if anything it might be a little too easy to move and shoot for the sake of immersion.
I can partially see where he's coming from here.
Not that they are necessarily "too complicated" but they do take a little time to learn.
I've played 35 hours, and I's still haven't gotten a single melee kill, as I hesitate too long when enemies get close and try to rebolt and shoot instead (and usually die)
My biggest complaint - however - is when you are surprised by someone who is shooting at you, so you try to drop to the ground behind something, hitting the prone button. to which you are greeted by "can not prone here" messages.
Sure, there is a brick or log or something on the ground that would not be comfortable to lay on, but hey, it's better than bullets. I'd throw myself on that crap in a hearbeat.
Then you die.
Another annoyance with the controls.
You run across the dangerous empty space that is being sniped by the enemy and finally get to the position in the cap zone you want to shoot from. You have gone prone in a space you like. It's protected and tough to see. The enemies come running, but there is something blocking your view, so you push the sideways button to move a little to get a better shot.
All of a sudden your character stands up to move, completely gives away your position, as well as leaving you unprotected. You get shot and die.
There are any number of these kind of issues with the controls that can make them frustrating. I hope these are the kind of things that TWI are working on tweaking and fixing, but I can definitely understand why a reviewer would call the controls clunky.
Another thing that can make the controls feel clunky to someone who is not used to the game is the amount of time it takes from a running position to bring your weapon up to eye level and take aim over the iron sights. This could have a CoD or BF moron feeling very handicapped. IMHO this is the way it should be - however - as it is more realistic. These people need to learn to change their playing styles if they want to be good at RO2.
