Pugilist,

You're over-simplifying my words and not really getting my point. Obviously there's going to be aspects people don't like - as I said, it isn't perfect. I don't have a problem with people critizing the game; I agree with you guys, bringing up what you dislike helps the developer. However, I do get tired of having people constantly bitch and whine about snipers, or rockets, or whatever on a server. If you don't like it - find a different server. It's bothersome to be playing a game and having an individual bitch and moan about snipers, yet continue to play on the bloody server.

Apparently these complaints are fostered through frustration. Any decent player can overcome the threats posed by those types of weapons. With that said, I do understand that it's irritating playing as an Axis sniper in a bunker, only to get blown up over and over again by rockets. But people who bitch about this are doing so because it apparently infringes on their right to have an unimpeded and unchallenged nest from which to kill the enemy.

Anyone else see the problem?

If you keep getting killed employing one tactic - adapt, change weapons, learn, get better. Most players frown upon the use of "newbie" weapons like shotguns and rockets, so most stick with rifles and MGs. There should rarely be a situation where a side is completely overcome with "newbie" weapons. But then again these weapons offer easy kills and such is the nature of online play. Yes, there is objective-based maps, but we've all witnessed the near impossibility in getting people to co-operate on a public server.

You're essentially right when you say it's personal choice. And there are many different mods played on many different servers to reflect that. So don't enter a server with no mods and bitch about too many snipers for an hour. Personally, I like the variety of weapons - it makes it interesting, and it forces me to learn and employ different tactics to overcome the varying threats.
