I was just replying to a post when something occurred to me.
I think the reason so many new players are praising the game, and it mainly being old RO players who have compliants, is because the gameplay that is WOWing the new BF and CoD players is new to them. However to the old RO players it isn't, the same gameplay that the new players are raving about was allready there in RO. It isn't new to us, it doesn't have that bright new shiney thing quality about it, back when RO came out we to were raving about the way it plays and I have mentioned on countless forums over many years how great RO is over other online shooters.
In a few years the very same new players who are fed up with the older RO players moaning, will be wanting exactly the same things as the old players wanted in this release.
This is why I think there is such a divide...most of the time when I see someone raving about it they are a new player. I can't blame you either...it is still different to BF and CoD and if I was new to the series I too wouldn't know why all the RO players seemed to have such a downer on it as I would think it was (ignoring bugs) fanatstic.
So I think some tolerance is needed. The new players should respect the older RO players and remember what you finding superb they have already been playing a game that has it for years, and in a few years you'll be wanting the exact same things if they aren't in it allready by then. The old RO players should understand that this game is new to them. It's still a different experience to BF and CoD and though it isn't as different as RO they are still going to be taken back by it and love it, as much as we loved RO.
