I mean, who was the genius at EA responsible for this FARCE?

A major publisher (EA) pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to Id to license the Q3 engine, then hands it over to a bunch of bedroom-based SiN-modding kids to totally fuck up and hack to pieces. Then publishes months of bullshitting hype across the internet, gets everyones' juices flowing, only to deliver a SICK JOKE.
A game that has about as much security as a tent on a freeway. Lame maps, only four of which are objective based and open to every spamming and camping BS in the book. Clipping up the ying-yang. Fundamental military postures not coded in (prone). Online maps the size of my back garden. Weapons that bear more resemblance to paint-ball guns than their real-life counterparts ("We reduced the accuracy of the MG42 by a factor of three for the sake of gameplay").

I wouldn't care about any of this except for one thing...THE BS HYPE!!! I don't appreciate having my expectations raised for months, only to see them dashed by the fact the developers and publisher are a bunch of LYING WANKERS!!!
