Its not a game designed to capture your interest for ages (like css, bf2, mmo's), its a quick wam, bam explosions thanks for the money buy our sequel kind of game. Disappointing for those of us who can sink 1000's of hours into a shooter, but in a developers mind necessary to accommodate the shortening attention span of gamers...well some anyway. Despite the fact that those people will play ANYTHING, regardless of quality, if they can bump out a game that meets those low expectations, what reward is there for creating a truly great game? When 'meh' will do and earn a decent wage? Personally I'd hate the thought of anything mediocre attached to my name, but then again I don't get millions of people to buy my 'mediocre' stuff, hell noone buys it...because its ****. But they buy mediocre games, which is annoying seeing as there aren't enough people with the self restraint to successfully boycott **** games, they'll continue to pollute and ruin the games industry.
EDIT
On topic, I hit lvl49 before the game died in my country, not even enough players to fill a server now. Its a shame, seeing as we never got to see sandbox3, and the game will be well and truly dead before that comes out. A community keeps a game alive, you gotta give them something to play with to keep them around (see crysis 1, damn thing is still kicking and its MP was never that stellar, mod tools turned a pretty shooter into a household name..You idiots at crytek kinda forgot that, along with every other major dev in the world (a preemptive **** you to DICE for the upcoming dissapointment bf3 will be)).
