Ok, I've been reading these posts and have been rather quiet this whole time. I will now weigh in. First off, I LOVE CM. I didn't expect a new CM from this game, however, I did expect realism. COH is already out there for those who want "fun".
My first fears crept up when BF announced a "preorder" deal. I work for marketing in DaimlerChrysler, and I must admit, its a bit of red flag. If the demo had been released earlier, then yes, no problems here. Alas, this was not the case. Demo delayed. Oh oh. I am surprised our units in this game cannot take cover because BF seems to be a master of it.
Quick question. Has anyone purchased Neverwinter Nights 2? I bought it shortly after release and the same thing is going on over there as here. Albeit on a much larger scale.When you have a reputation for quality, and then release an inferior product, there will be backlash. Some don't agree, I respect that. But I think, most on the whole, have found this product to be poor.
If you didn't like the product, by all means, get on here and bitch. We may yet make something out of the game. But don't cry about money wasted. I preordered despite my misgivings based on their sound rep. and lost. I won't make this mistake again.
I have noticed, as I did with NWN2 forums, a LARGE number of people who blindly get behind a product they wanted to badly like. You kind of have to sift through these guys and remember to stay on topic. Ghost1 did sound like a crazed madman, although many of his points were valid. BillyBob and a few others I can't recall have done a good job of trying to hold this company accountable for the products they put out. Kudos.
