I think a lot of players are taking a break while TWI fix the major "showstopper" bugs.
I consider taking a break myself.

Me & friends just aren't playing RO2 anymore atm due to unbearable FPS issues that shouldn't be happening.

but geez, whoever designed those maps should to be fired and not be allowed to get a job as a designer ever again :p

That 'Nam map was the second worst I've ever played in any game. Can't remember what it was called, but at the start of the match the attackers had to sprint up a gully or across a tiny bridge, both in full view of the defenders and with virtually no chance of shooting back. If the defenders drove the attackers back, you knew the whole round would be terrible and no fun for anyone.

Sort of makes you sympathise with TWI adding lockdown to some of their maps / gamemodes.

Incidentally, the worst map I've ever played was that FOB on top of a mountain in the MOH beta. No doubt designed by the same idiot.

I uninstalled today. I have never been able to enjoy proper frame rates without stutters and freezes since beta.

I finally got fed up with "tweaks" and configs that didn't help so I've moved on to other games in my steam library that actually run well.

I hope there's still some playerbase if they get the game fixed. I'd love to get my $40 worth out of this someday.

I don't play this game in public servers because the game is in such a miserable state.

people will play for 2 weeks and quit when they realise the game will never get free new content.

Why are you ALWAYS hating on Battlefield? :/
They aren't like IW who charge 15€ for a mappack. And it also won't loose players because of paid DLC's. God... can't people stop hating on other games? (Btw: BF Games also get Free Content sometimes. And WHEN they charge money, then its mostly worth it. Look at the BF1942/2/2142 addons. And BC2:Vietnam was also worth it. So will be Strike at Karkand worth it (which you can also get for free).)
I love RO AND BF!

@Topic:
2 things for me:
1. Bugs (especially Stats tbh. I could live without stats like in RO1, but when they are there they should work ;) )
2. BF3 Beta. I'm atm busy playing it. But in a few days I'm playing RO2 again too =)

Ancient games that are infinitely more popular than RO2 to begin with.

Did people honestly expect RO2 to topple free to play games and other established monoliths like CounterStrike?

Im not hating on battlefield, in fact i used to love battlefield, just not this full price reskinned bc2 that could very well be a BC2 mod

if you think they wont charge for map packs, well, dunno why people insist in lying to themselves, the only reason why bf3 wont get modtools is so they can sell dlcs and a new battlefield game next year, just like they did with bc2, believe what you want, i'll be here to say i told you so when the time comes :rolleyes:

And thats why companies like ea and activision get away with selling reskinned games

you should feel proud

BF3 is on the Frostbyte 2 engine. BC2 was on Frostbyte 1.5. It's shares certain similar GAMELAY elements but definitely not BC2... if anything it's more like MOH. And it's definitely not a re-skin but there's no reasoning with fanboys like yourself.
