I can't believe machinima gave this game a 4/10. Lawrence Sonntag needs to be fired because this is probably one of the worst reviews I have ever read.
He says TDM is funner than territory, and that kills not showing up immediate after on the feed is a problem. He whines about the controls, his lack of skill, and patience as if they are the games fault. Graphics are apparently dated badly but there is no explanation as to why.
While I don't believe this game deserves a 10, I would give it an 8. A 4 is uncalled for. I assume the only games this guy enjoys are CoD and Halo.

Read machinima's review....I have to disagree with two aspects up front..first, I don't believe the controls are "too complicated"...they're similar to other PC shooters. Second, I haven't seen every match a sniper battle...yes, there are snipers you have to be aware of but they set up squads so only a limited number of players can have sniper weapons. And yes, it does take time to learn, especially, like myself, one doesn't have training in military tactics (formal military training I think even helps in CoD.) I don't agree with the overall score either..but they have a right to present their opinion.
Not sure how anyone could expect any other result from machinima, to be honest. It's more than clear that machinima has an almost sexual attraction to Call of Duty. While there's nothing wrong with that, they appear to me, in all things that I've seen from them, to have formed the opinion that if it ain't call of duty, it's crap. This position is to be expected, in my opinion.
I can't believe machinima gave this game a 4/10.Well, it isn't like they are a real review website anyway.
He really does. The article is poorly written and I strongly suspect he is out-right lying about having played and liked ultra-realistic shooters (he also doesn't seem to know what that actually means). He says he played OpFlash and then complains about RO being realistic and having too many buttons. Even more worrying is listing Day of Defeat as an ultra realistic shooter
And then he ends it by saying he just ended up trolling people in the chat, which is rather bad form for a reviewer.
EDIT: Metacritic has lost the last shreds if credibility with me seeing how they count Machinima as an actual reviewer.

Metacritic review:
Claims he enjoys realistic games like Operation Flashpoint.
Complains that RO2 has too many controls.
Lol wut?
Maybe he's talking about Dragon Rising or Red River neither of which I'd even call Flashpoint games. I bet if he played the real Flashpoint or any of the Armas he'd realize how stupid he looks.
