I canceled my pre-order because, well my friends are all concerned about creating listen servers from within the game, and with the exception of 1 guy, none are sure they are going to buy it. Some also don't like the steeper price also affecting whether they will get it.
Others are bothered by the ranking/upgrade system, So without knowing servers will be moddable, I can't tell them, well we can unlock things on our private server or restrict every one to default unlocks. So no one is saying "I'm buying it", except 1 guy who pre-ordered other than me who did not cancel his pre-order.
If it turns out servers can be modded, and Listen servers can be created(one person's requirement) I will buy this, it will just be at a slightly later date. Graphics options are sort of a requirement for some, specifically the ability to adjust more than just "Gamer" "Advanced" and "hardcoe", since some have slightly older rigs and would need to reduce settings lower than what Gamer provides.
Basically, I was preordering because my friends had all made mention of getting it as well, I wanted to make sure I was able to play with them. But I have a budget to follow for my entertainment, if no one else will be playing it, Well I'll spend it on something they are playing.
