bansama: Really, why do these idiots get so wound up over a *game* which no one is forcing them to buy? It's just pathetic in the grand scheme of things.
The problem people are probably having (or at least I'm having), is that this game is quite obviously big, thus it will have a big impact. While the singleplayer was fine, for the most part, the multiplayer is completely shot. The lack of dedicated servers and virtually unmoderated games makes it completely shot in execution. Basically, the multiplayer is far less appealing and a giant step down from it's predecessor, but since it had such an extremely good launch, other developers might take note of it and possibly do the same thing with their games.
Looking at the price the game has on Steam (which reminds me, mandatory Steam integration for a third party game), which is €10 over any other new game (and that it's predecessor costs just as much as Dragon Age and Borderlands in my region), it's just not worth it at all. I played it at a friend who bought it, who was rather pissed as well because of all this, since it's just a big rip off.
